Patent attributes
A hybrid heat transfer assembly includes operating equipment having a coolant loop including a cooling fluid inlet and a cooling fluid outlet. A radiator has a radiator inlet connected to the cooling fluid outlet, and a radiator outlet connected to the cooling fluid inlet. A radiator fan proximate the radiator directs air across the radiator. A chiller includes an evaporator having an evaporator inlet connected to the cooling fluid outlet, and an evaporator outlet connected to the cooling fluid inlet. A compressor is connected to the evaporator, a condenser is connected to the compressor, and an expansion valve is connected to the condenser and evaporator. A refrigerant loop connects the evaporator and compressor, the condenser and compressor, and the expansion valve to the condenser and the evaporator. A condenser fan proximate the condenser directs air across the condenser.
