  • Patent number: 11919366
    Abstract: A target thermal sensation setter sets target thermal sensations for a finite number of parts into which the occupant is virtually divided. A cabin temperature controller individually controls a cabin air-conditioning unit and an auxiliary heater so that the thermal sensations of the respective parts of the occupant estimated by an occupant thermal sensation estimator fall within a range of the target thermal sensations.

  • Patent number: 11766918
    Abstract: A comfort sensation calculation unit quantitatively calculates comfort sensation of an occupant from an RRI of the occupant A, and a target control value of a thermal environment control device is set based on the comfort sensation of the occupant. Therefore, it is possible to achieve air conditioning control that reflects the comfort sensation of the occupant. When a signal output from the comfort sensation calculation unit and a signal output from the occupant thermal sensation calculation unit do not correspond to each other, the signal output from the comfort sensation calculation unit is corrected, and the target control value is determined.

  • Publication number: 20150122473
    Abstract: A vehicle air conditioner includes an electric heater, an air mixing damper, a driver configured to drive the air mixing damper, and a controller configured to control the electric heater and the driver. The controller is configured to perform thermal capacity switching control such that when the thermal capacity of the electric heater is switched, a target opening degree of the air mixing damper is set such that the temperature of blowout air approximates a target temperature.

  • Patent number: 6027701
    Abstract: An ozone generator includes a vessel provided at one end with a feed gas chamber for receiving a feed gas through an inlet and at the other end with an ozonized gas chamber, communicating with an outlet, for receiving an ozonized gas, a cylindrical tube ground electrode having a dielectric on an inner peripheral surface for communicating the feed gas chamber with ozonized gas chamber, a hollow cylindrical high voltage electrode having a predetermined discharge gap with respect to the dielectric and disposed concentrically with the cylindrical tube ground electrode, and a high frequency power source for applying a voltage between the ground electrode and the high voltage electrode. Cooling water is supplied to a water jacket surrounding the ground electrode and formed within the vessel and to the hollow cylindrical high voltage electrode to cool both electrodes.
