<title><![CDATA[Multi-stage pulse tube cryocooler]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7363767.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A three-stage pulse-tube cryocooler, in which the third stage pulse tube is arranged below the second stage pulse tube, with a gas flow conduit between the second stage pulse tube heat exchanger and the cold end of the second stage regenerator. The design of the invention is much simpler than a conventional three-stage parallel pulse tube cooler, requiring only two pulse tubes at the warm (room temperature) end and two reservoirs, with a corresponding reduction in the number of associated orifices, passages, etc. In effect, this provides a three stage cryocooler with a two-stage warm end design by putting the second and third stage pulse tubes in series, with a gas flow passage providing gas flow between the second and third stages for gas expansion and refrigeration. The three-stage design allows an intermediate temperature connection between the temperatures of the first and third stages, for applications which require three cooling temperatures.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A cold plate for a beverage chilling apparatus comprising a plurality of beverage conducting tubes sinuously arranged within a cast aluminum jacket. Interleaved between the beer conducting tubes are coolant conducting lines arranged in heat exchanging relation. The coolant lines are derived from a main coolant line pumping coolant to the cold plate, where a coolant inlet is divided into two separate smaller intermediate coolant segments at a first stage. Each intermediate glycol segment is then subdivided at a second stage into four heat exchanging coolant lines. At each subdivision of the coolant fluid conducting system, a pair of smaller lines equal distance from a feed line and having a smaller diameter than the feed line are incorporated using a two-for-one splitter so that each stage doubles the number of lines from the previous stage.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Apparatus for judging target to be temperature-regulated]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364095.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Between a characteristic a of a process chamber  21 a  having a large pressure loss and a characteristic b of a process chamber  21 b  having a small pressure loss, threshold value A (flow rate value Q 3 , pressure value P 3 ) is set on the characteristic a. The threshold value A is set on a controller  9 . When a rotation speed of a pump  3  is increased by an electric motor  8 , the flow rate of a fluid flowing through pipelines  1, 2  and a flow path of a process chamber  21  increases. At the time, the flow rate of the fluid is measured by a flowmeter  4  and a pressure of the fluid is measured by a pressure switch  5 . If the pressure reaches the pressure value P 3  when the flow rate of the fluid reaches the flow rate value Q 3 , the pressure switch  5  operates. At the time, the controller  9  judges that the process chamber  21 a  having a large pressure loss is connected to the pipelines  1, 2 . Meanwhile, if the pressure does not reach the pressure value P 3  when the flow rate of the fluid reaches the flow rate value Q 3 , the pressure switch  5  does not operate. At the time, the controller  9  judges that the process chamber  21 b  having a small pressure loss is connected to the pipelines  1, 2.]]></description>
