Abstract

A manifold gauge set has at least one sight glass window for viewing contents of a refrigeration system or an air conditioning system being serviced. The window may be non-planar to achieve an appearance that varies with the presence or absence of liquid. Such a non-planar window may be in the form of a dome, prism or a fresnel lens. The gauge set may have a second light transmissive window to allow light to illuminate system contents being viewed. A light source may be provided to illuminate system contents being viewed. The light source may provide light through the same window that is used for viewing contents. A diffuser may be provided with a second window to achieve an illuminated background for viewing system contents. Similar configurations may be used in standalone sight glasses, vacuum pumps, and recovery machines.

Abstract

A work light has a head section with a single piece metal channel having a rear portion and opposing side flanges. The rear portion and side flanges extending longitudinally along the channel. Light has a handle section. LEDs are mounted on channel such that the channel is heatsink for the LEDs. A transparent single piece lens assembly covers the LEDs, the lens assembly has a corresponding plurality of convex lenses, each convex lens forward of each LED, the lens assembly attached to the rear portion of the channel. Forward edges of the side flanges of the channel extend farther forward from the rear surface than the lens assembly for protection.

Abstract

LED lamp has LEDs aimed rearwards with either a concave mirror to the rear of each LED, or one concave mirror to the rear of two or more LEDs, collecting the light from the LEDs to form a forward projecting beam. LEDs may be high power types that require heatsinking. LED lamp may have a lens forward of each LED to collimate the radiation produced by the LEDs into a beam, where at least one lens has at least one aspheric curved surface. LED lamp may have a transparent reflective optic to collimate the radiation produced by each LED into a beam. For an inspection lamp, the LEDs typically have a peak wavelength of 395 to 415 nanometers for seeing the area being irradiated but not so visible as to overwhelm fluorescence of fluorescent materials to be detected. Other wavelengths may be used. LED inspection lamp has a combination of LEDs of different wavelengths or a combination of at least one LED and at least one other light source such that the lamp produces radiation suitable for detection of materials to be detected and adequately illuminates the area being irradiated. LED lamp has LEDs that produce a beam of suitable radiation with a width of 10 degrees or less without additional optics. LED inspection lamp has head attached to a flexible member, with head serving as heatsink for one or more high power LEDs. Current regulator circuits are also disclosed.

Abstract

A manifold gauge set has at least one sight glass window for viewing contents of a refrigeration system or an air conditioning system being serviced. The window may be non-planar to achieve an appearance that varies with the presence or absence of liquid. Such a non-planar window may be in the form of a dome, prism, or a fresnel lens. The gauge set may have a second light transmissive window to allow light to illuminate system contents being viewed. A light source may be provided to illuminate system contents being viewed. The light source may provide light through the same window that is used for viewing contents. A diffuser may be provided with a second window to achieve an illuminated background for viewing system contents. Similar configurations may be used in standalone sight glasses, vacuum pumps, and recovery machines.

Abstract

An LED work light has multichip LEDs and a diffusing dome. Each LED may have separate electrical terminals for each chip. The LED work light may have convex lenses forward of each LED. Convex lenses may be hemispherical. Convex lenses may have a nonhemispheric curved surface whose cross section has at least one circular arc and no non-circular arcs. The LED work light has a battery or receives power from an external power source. The LED work light may have a transparent plastic tube as a structural member. A replaceable plastic cover may be added to protect any structural tube or other major transparent part of the LED work light from abrasions. The plastic cover may be tubular. The plastic cover may comprise laminations of plastic that can be removed individually after being abraded. Any external power source may be a wall transformer type and may have current limiting means. The LEDs may be attached to the rear surface of an LED PCB that is fastened to a heatsink in a manner achieving thermal contact between the rear surfaces of the LEDs and the heatsink. A position sensing switch may be used.

A vacuum gauge has a scale having a safe zone indicia, a working zone indicia, an indicator to indicate a particular location on the scale, and a pressure sensing mechanism and housing having a pressure sensing port accessible for fluid connection to the refrigeration system to receive fluid for sensing. The indicia are distinctly coded for user differentiation. The scale may include a leak indicating zone indicia and a non-working zone indicia The safe zone indicia may represent 0 to 500 microns, the working zone indicia 500 to 2000 microns, the leak indicating zone indicia 2000 to 25,400 microns, and the non-working zone indicia 25,400 to 30,000 microns. Service tool combination includes body assembly, shaft assembly and gauge in direct sealed connection with a fitting for releasable sealed fluid connection. There are methods using the combination. Tool has gripper with cavity to receive valve core pin. Gripper has base to prevent pin from pulling gripper from tool.

Abstract

The use of sealants based on organosilanes for refrigeration and air conditioning systems is made possible by control of the rate of introduction and viscosity of the sealant mixture within certain ranges. An appropriate choice of organosilane sealant is made to allow effective sealing of small pinhole size leaks in the air conditioning or refrigeration system. The organosilane is then combined with a miscible lubricant at particular ratios to provide the proper mixture viscosity for injection into the refrigerant system to prevent bearing seizure. Specific orifice sizes are selected for an apparatus to ensure that the composition is injected at the flow rates required to prevent liquid slugging and subsequent compressor shutdown or failure. In addition, effective introduction of the mixture requires certain procedures be performed. Injection procedures are also described that prevent temporary or catastrophic equipment shutdown.

Abstract

A concave reflector can form a more uniform beam of light. The light source can be an LED with a nominally lambertian radiation pattern. LED can be high power requiring heatsink. Light reflected by reflector and light exiting without hitting reflector can form coinciding beams of essentially same size. Matching of sizes of reflected and unreflected components can be achieved in part by having a tangent at a rim parallel to axis of reflector. For some LEDs hot spot in center of beam is reduced by curvature becoming increasingly sharp when approaching along reflective curve a critical radius at which tangent to reflector curve in plane containing axis of reflector has angle near 45 degrees with respect to axis of reflector. Reflector can be used in, for example, work lights, desk lamps, accent lights, headlamps, and flashlights. Lamps can have multiple reflectors with one LED for each reflector.
