Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a coupling assembly made up of a male fluid coupler and a female fluid coupler for a fluid line. The male and female fluid couplers are closed to flow in the uncoupled state and are open to flow when coupled. The male fluid coupler can include an alignment compensation arrangement that can adjust for any initial misalignment between the male and female fluid couplers. The alignment compensation arrangement can function as a universal connection joint to allow the male fluid coupler to universally pivot and move radially.

Abstract: A plate heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer plates; a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel formed between adjacent heat transfer plates and fluidly isolated from each other; an upstream outlet port and a downstream inlet port formed in each of the heat transfer plates; and a fluid communication device. The first fluid channel includes a fluid channel upstream portion and a fluid channel downstream portion that are separated from each other. The upstream outlet port is communicated to the fluid channel upstream portion of the first fluid channel, while the downstream inlet port is communicated to the fluid channel downstream portion of the first fluid channel. The upstream outlet port and downstream inlet port are fluidly communicated with each other through the fluid communication device. By adopting the plate heat exchanger according to the present disclosure, a number of parts may be reduced.

Abstract: A method for configuring a plurality of operating setpoints for a vapour compression system (1) is disclosed. The plurality of operating setpoints are divided into a first group (12) of operating setpoints to be generated manually and a second group (13) of operating setpoints to be generated automatically, and the operating setpoints are operated in accordance therewith. The manually generated operating setpoints (12) and the automatically generated operating setpoints (13) are provided to a setpoint manager (11), and the setpoint manager (11) checks if the provided operating setpoints (12, 13) are in compliance with a set of rules. In the case that at least some of the provided operating setpoints (12, 13) are not in compliance with the set of rules, the setpoint manager (11) adjusts at least some of the provided operating setpoints (12, 13) in accordance with the set of rules, thereby obtaining an adjusted set of operating setpoints. The vapour compression system (1) is subsequently controlled in accordance with the adjusted set of operating setpoints.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vapour compression system (1) is disclosed. Malfunctioning of a gas bypass valve (8) is registered. An actual opening degree of the gas bypass valve (8) is derived, and a target opening degree of the gas bypass valve (8) is derived, based on one or more control parameters of the vapour compression system (1). The actual opening degree is compared to the target opening degree, and the vapour compression system (1) is controlled based on the comparison, and in order to match a mass flow of gaseous refrigerant through the gas bypass valve (8) to the actual opening degree of the gas bypass valve (8).
