  • Publication number: 20240157003
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an ultraviolet light irradiation system and an ultraviolet light irradiation method which can perceive a state of a region where ultraviolet light is irradiated to output/block the ultraviolet light. An ultraviolet light irradiation system 301 according to the present invention includes an ultraviolet light source unit 11 that produces ultraviolet light, an N (N is a natural number) irradiation unit 13 that irradiates an irradiation target region Ar with the ultraviolet light, a sensor unit 31 that detects whether or not an object that should avoid exposure is present in the irradiation target region Ar, and a blocking unit 30 that stops, in a case where the object that should avoid exposure is present in the irradiation target region Ar, irradiation of the ultraviolet light from the irradiation unit 13 to the irradiation target region Ar.

  • Patent number: 11940174
    Abstract: A heat-exchanger fixing plate fixes a side portion of a heat exchanger to a housing panel of an air-conditioning apparatus, the heat exchanger including a heat radiation fin and a heat transfer tube. The heat-exchanger fixing plate includes a heat-exchanger support portion facing the side portion of the heat exchanger, and having an insertion hole through which a hairpin portion of the heat transfer tube of the heat exchanger is inserted; and a housing-panel fixing portion separate from and fitted to the heat-exchanger support portion fastened with a screw to the housing panel such that the heat exchanger is fixed to the housing panel. The housing-panel fixing portion is made of material having a higher mechanical strength than that of the heat-exchanger support portion, and the heat-exchanger support portion is made of the material having a lower friction coefficient than that of the housing-panel fixing portion.
