Vapor refrigerant injection cycle with a flash tank has proven to be effective in improving system performance significantly at extremely low and high ambient temperatures. However, the control strategy of operating the system is still unclear. There is no open publication on the comprehensive study of the vapor injection cycle control strategy to date. This paper presents the experimental inve...

Nowadays Heat pump water heater becomes a very hot topic in hot water industry. However it has many problems because of higher condensing temperature and large-scale operation conditions. Based on the problems, this paper presents a prototype which was assembled using a rotary compressor with refrigerant injection port. By making use of the liquid injection function of the compressor, the syste...

Sir,—It was interesting to read that Drs Jones, Molloy and Rosen used a similar injection technique to ours for analysis of volatile anaesthetics in whole blood (Brit. J. Anaesth. (1972), 44, 124). We have found pretreatment of blood samples to be unnecessary if glass liners are used in the injection port, columns are made of liquid methyl silicone (OV101) and the solid support is Chromosorb W ...

A novel method of measuring small-scale groundwater velocities in unconsolidated noncohesive media uses the travel time of a tracer pulse between an injection port and two detectors located on the surface of a cylindrical probe, called a point-velocity probe (PVP), as the basis for velocity estimation. The direction and magnitude of the water velocity vector were determined to within +/- 9% of ...

PURPOSE The use of totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) certified as "high pressure resistant" or "power port" has begun to spread worldwide as a safe procedure for power contrast injection. Owing to the thermo-rheological properties of the contrast media, the primary aim of this work is to present an in vitro experimental impact study concerning the impact of the temperature leve...

The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of technical complications of epidural catheters with subcutaneous injection ports to percutaneous epidural catheters without ports, fixed only by adhesive dressing. We reviewed 149 patients who received 250 epidural catheters for treatment of cancer pain during a 3 1/2-yr period from January 1, 1989, to June 30, 1992. Of the 250 catheters, 52 ...
