Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A vapor compression apparatus (20) and a method for operating a vapor compression system are provided. A working fluid is conveyed through a vapor compression system (20) having a fluid line (40). A magnetic field generator (30) is connected to the fluid line (40) to direct a magnetic field through the working fluid. The magnetic field is operable to disrupt intermolecular forces and weaken intermolecular attraction to enhance expansion of the working fluid to the vapor phase, increasing the capacity performance and , efficiency of the system components and reducing system cycling, mechanical wear and energy consumption.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 27, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 27, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
