  • Patent number: 9360238
    Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus includes an insulation housing including an inner box. The inner box has side plates and first and second refrigerating circuits including a first evaporation pipe and a second evaporation pipe, respectively. The first and second evaporation pipes are disposed on the side plates. The first and second evaporation pipes are bent so as to form a first comb shape and a second comb shape, respectively. The first and the second comb shapes form a nested structure. The first and second evaporation pipes include a first straight portion and a second straight portion extending the horizontal direction, respectively. A first distance between the first straight portion of the first evaporation pipe and the first straight portion of the second evaporation pipe and a second distance between the first straight portion of the second evaporation pipe and the second straight portion of the second evaporation pipe are substantially equal.

  • Publication number: 20110023532
    Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus includes a refrigerating cycle including a compressor, a condenser, a flow divider, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a decompressing device, and an evaporator. The refrigerant cycle has sealed therein a mixed refrigerant obtained by mixing at least first to third refrigerants with different evaporation temperatures. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger each includes a double pipe to form a first flow passage in an inner pipe of the double pipe, a second flow passage in an outer pipe of the double pipe, and an intermediate port in a piping connecting between the second flow passage of the first heat exchanger and the second flow passage of the second heat exchanger. A high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor is cooled by the condenser to liquefy the first refrigerant having a high evaporation temperature into a liquid refrigerant.

  • Patent number: 7838286
    Abstract: An entry of air from the outside of an incubator into an incubation room is prevented. The incubator comprises an adiabatic box main body having an opening on a front face thereof, an adiabatic door mounted to the adiabatic box main body to be opened/closed, a transparent inner door which closes the opening to be opened, and a storeroom surrounded with the inner door and the adiabatic box main body to incubate samples such as cells or microbes. The adiabatic box main body comprises a metal outer box, a metal inner box, a heat insulating material arranged in the outer box between the outer box and the inner box, and an air layer arranged more inside than the heat insulating material. Pressure of the storeroom is set higher than that of an outside space of the incubator.
