    Abstract: An energy-efficient refrigerator includes a refrigerator control system for generating refrigerator control signals responsive to cooling demands of respective refrigerator compartments; a refrigeration apparatus coupled to the control system; and a multiplex damper system disposed to selectively direct the cooling-air from the refrigeration apparatus to compartments in response to the refrigerator control signals. The multiplex damper system comprises a single movable control damper disposed to direct cooling-air flow to a single or multiple compartments. The evaporator and its associated fan and a variable speed compressor are independently controlled by the refrigerator control system. The variable speed compressor typically comprises a continuously variable speed motor such as an electronically commutated motor. The refrigeration control system is coupled to sensors, such as compartment temperature sensors, ambient condition sensors, and compartment access door sensors, so as to determine the cooling demands of respective refrigerator compartments, and generates control signals for the refrigeration apparatus, including, for example, compressor motor speed, evaporator and condenser fan operation, and other control functions.

    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for directly measuring the bottom pour flow rate from heated ceramic crucible, hearth/tundish combinations used in metals refining/processing industry, plasma arc melting process (PAM), a cold hearth process or other similar processes such as for pouring ingots. Such structures of this type generally allow the bottom pour flow rate to be accurately measured in relative real time without adversely affecting the flow while withstanding the hostile surroundings typically associate with a heated crucible, tundishes, PAM, cold hearth process or other similar processes.

    Abstract: An energy-efficient refrigeration system includes an electrically controlled refrigerant storage device that is coupled to the refrigeration system to selectively receive refrigerant from and dispense refrigerant to the operating loop of the refrigeration system. The refrigerant storage device includes a storage vessel, means for selectively displacing refrigerant from the storage device into the operating loop, and a refrigerant storage device controller coupled to the means for displacing refrigerant so as to control the mass of refrigerant in the storage vessel in correspondence with the cooling demand on the refrigeration system so that the compressor drive motor is loaded for optimal efficiency for a given cooling demand on the system. The means for displacing refrigerant from the vessel of the storage device typically comprises a temperature control element, such as a heating element or solid state heat pump, that is electrically coupled to the controller and thermally coupled to the vessel. Alternatively, a bladder mechanism is disposed in the vessel for physically varying the volume of the vessel in which refrigerant can be stored in correspondence with signals from the controller.
