Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a heat source side unit including a compressor, a load side unit including a load side heat exchanger, a fan provided in the load side unit, an air direction adjuster that is provided in the load side unit and that adjusts an air direction, and a controller that controls the compressor, the fan, and the air direction adjuster. The controller determines whether an air-conditioned space is being ventilated and executes, in a case where the air-conditioned space is being ventilated, a fixed-swing mode in which a swing operation in which the air direction is changed over time by controlling the air direction adjuster is forcefully performed. At a time when the fixed-swing mode is to be entered, the controller activates the compressor when the compressor is stopped and continues operation of the compressor when the compressor is operating.

Abstract: An air-sending device includes a fan configured to blow air into a space, an airflow direction adjusting unit configured to adjust an airflow direction of the air blown out from the fan, and a controller configured to control the fan and the airflow direction adjusting unit. The controller is configured to, when a predetermined condition is met, execute a forced swing mode regardless of a setting made by a user for the airflow direction. In the forced swing mode, a swing operation is forcibly performed in which the airflow direction adjusting unit is controlled to change the airflow direction over time.

Abstract: The present invention is a crushing machine including a rotatable housing having an inlet port and a discharge port and including an independent crushing means inside the housing. Support rings each of which is at least 1.8 times larger than the housing, circumscribe the housing and are fixed thereto. The support rings are engagable with a driving means for rotating the housing. The support rings support and distribute the weight of the housing on the driving means.
