Title: Alireza Behfar and Refrigeration System Innovations.

Introduction

Alireza Behfar is an inventor based in Conyers, Georgia, whose patent work focuses on transcritical refrigeration systems. His inventions address refrigerant pressure management, superheat control, and compressor operation. He is associated with Hill Phoenix, Inc., and has three patents.

Latest Patents

Behfar’s recent patent work includes a refrigeration system with superheat control. The system uses a heat exchanger to transfer heat between refrigerant flowing from the gas cooler or condenser and refrigerant entering the receiver. It also incorporates a receiver, a gas bypass valve for controlling receiver pressure, and a medium-temperature subsystem with evaporators, expansion valves, and transcritical compressors. The design supports control of refrigerant conditions within the system.

Another invention concerns a refrigeration system with convertible compressors. It includes two or more transcritical compressors, each connected to a valve system, and a controller that can switch a compressor’s suction input from the medium-temperature evaporator outlet to the receiver outlet. This allows the compressors to operate as parallel compressors when configured to do so.

Career Highlights

Behfar’s listed portfolio comprises 3 patents. His work reflects a focus on practical system configurations for transcritical refrigeration, including control of refrigerant pressure and flexible compressor operation.
