A refrigeration system comprises: an evaporator having an evaporator inlet and an evaporator outlet; a compressor having (i) a compressor outlet, and (ii) a compressor inlet coupled to the evaporator outlet; a first condenser loop coupled between the compressor outlet and the evaporator inlet, the first condenser loop comprising: a first inlet valve, a first condenser, and a first redistribution valve coupling the first condenser loop to the compressor inlet; and a second condenser loop coupled between the compressor outlet and the evaporator inlet, the second condenser loop comprising: a second inlet valve, a second condenser, and a second redistribution valve coupling the second condenser loop to the compressor inlet.

Active management of refrigerant charge between condenser loops

Dialysis systems and methods are described which can include a number of features. The dialysis systems described can be to provide dialysis therapy to a patient in the comfort of their own home. The dialysis system can be configured to prepare purified water from a tap water source in real-time that is used for creating a dialysate solution. The dialysis systems described also include features that make it easy for a patient to self-administer therapy. For example, the dialysis systems include disposable cartridge and patient tubing sets that are easily installed on the dialysis system and automatically align the tubing set, sensors, venous drip chamber, and other features with the corresponding components on the dialysis system. Methods of use are also provided, including automated priming sequences, blood return sequences, and dynamic balancing methods for controlling a rate of fluid transfer during different types of dialysis, including hemodialysis, ultrafiltration, and hemodiafiltration.

Dialysis system and methods

A method of manufacturing an electric motor that includes a plurality of structural cooling features is provided, where the electric motor utilizes axial cooling channels integral to the stator teeth, thus allowing direct contact between the circulating coolant and the lamination stack. A coolant manifold assembly, incorporated into the stator between left and right stator portions, provides a means of distributing coolant to the axial cooling channels.

Motor cooling system utilizing axial cooling channels

A method of cooling an electric motor is provided utilizing axial cooling channels that are integral to the stator teeth, thus allowing direct contact between the circulating coolant and the lamination stack and providing an efficient means of removing motor assembly heat. Additionally, as the coolant flows out of the cooling channels it impinges on the end windings, thereby providing a secondary means of cooling the motor assembly.
