  • Patent number: 9139913
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-corrosion treatment method for a heat exchanger, in which even if an aluminum material-made heat exchanger having been flux-brazed by the NB process, in particular, an aluminum material-made heat exchanger to be used for automobile air conditioner is not subjected to a chemical conversion treatment in advance, not only corrosion resistance can be significantly enhanced without impairing hydrophilicity, but deodorizing properties can be enhanced. The anti-corrosion treatment method for an aluminum material-made heat exchanger includes bringing an aluminum material-made heat exchanger having been flux-brazed by the NOCOLOK brazing process into contact with a hydrophilic treatment liquid and then applying a baking treatment, thereby forming a hydrophilic film on the surface of the aluminum material-made heat exchanger, wherein the hydrophilic treatment liquid contains a hydrophilic resin and a lithium ion, and a lithium concentration in the hydrophilic film is from 0.05 to 25% by mass.

  • Patent number: 4672662
    Abstract: A switching system for a network having terminal control equipment units connected to a network termination unit, in which terminal control equipment units of the same kind are connected with an exchange through a subscriber's line which has assigned to it a single subscriber number and which has a plurality of communication channels. The system including storage units for each terminal control equipment unit of the subscriber's line for storing call status of incoming calls. When a first incoming call is received, the storage units of the terminal control equipment units set respective call status for the first incoming call to a ringing state. When a second incoming call is received before a response to the first incoming call is transmitted, the storage units also set the call status for the second incoming call to a ringing state.
