Abstract
Abstract (a) A cooling installation working through a change in Phase. (b) An installation wherein the chamber is connected to an expansion vessel through a valve calibrated at a determined opening pressure depending on the nature of the heat-carrier fluid and on the maximal temperature desired within the chamber and/or on the element to be cooled, said expansion vessel carrying a means for draining off the contents of the expansion vessel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
In a cooling installation operating through a liquid-vapor change in phase comprising a chamber (1) containing an element (2) to be cooled and a liquid (3) which is vaporizable by taking heat from element (2) and a vapor space (4) above liquid (3), a condensor (5) associated with chamber (1) for condensing vaporized liquid to its liquid state, the improvement comprising expansion means (6) connected to chamber (1) by valve means (8, 9) above the level of liquid (3), valve means (8, 9) being calibrated to open at a predetermined pressure which depends on the nature of liquid (3) and the desired temperature in chamber (1) or element (2), expansion means (6) being normally closed to the atmosphere surrounding chamber (1) and being expansible by vapor and air received from chamber (1) when valve means (8, 9) is opened, and vent means (12, 13) connected to expansion means (6) above the level of any condensed liquid for releasing air but not liquid from expansion means (6).
