Abstract: A charger control apparatus includes a total current acquisition unit and a setting unit to control a plurality of chargers connected in parallel with each other and supplied with a current from a common wiring line. An upper limit value of a current flowing through the wiring line is described as a first upper limit value. The total current acquisition unit acquires a total value of a current flowing through the plurality of chargers. The setting unit sets, for each of the plurality of chargers, a second upper limit value being an upper limit value of a current flowing through the charger by using the first upper limit value. When a difference between the total value and the first upper limit value satisfies a reference, the setting unit updates the second upper limit value for each of the plurality of chargers by distributing the difference according to a first rule.

Abstract: Since improving heat exchange between a gas-phase refrigerant and a liquid-phase refrigerant in a refrigeration system could instead result in a reduction in the efficiency of the whole refrigeration system, a heat exchange device (201) of the present invention includes: a refrigerant supply means (210) for supplying a first-temperature liquid-phase refrigerant (R11) and a second-temperature gas-phase refrigerant (R12) in one circulation system; a plurality of heat exchange means (220A, 220B) which are each configured so as to perform heat exchange between the liquid-phase refrigerant and the gas-phase refrigerant; and refrigerant circulation means (231, 232, 242) for circulating the gas-phase refrigerant (R12) in such a manner that the gas-phase refrigerant (R12) flows in parallel in the plurality of heat exchange means, and circulating the liquid-phase refrigerant (R11) in such a manner that the liquid-phase refrigerant (R11) flows in series in the plurality of heat exchange means.
