Abstract: A warm-air heating apparatus has a warm-air blowing port 2 for blowing warm air which is warmed in a heat source 4 provided in a casing after having been sucked through an air intake port 3, and a non-warm-air blowing port 9 provided independent of the warm-air blowing port 2 in which a blower 5 or 11 is placed for each port 2 or 9 to feed warm air to the lower part of a room and to feed non-warm air to the upper part of the room respectively so as to wrap the warm air with the non-warm air whereby temperature distribution in the vertical direction in the room is improved. The warm-air heating apparatus keeps living space warm to create a comfortable heating condition for the room and reduces wasted energy having been consumed to warm the ceiling area of the room in the conventional apparatus thereby improve efficiency of the heating apparatus.

Abstract: A control device for refrigeration cycle constructed with a compressor, a condenser, an electrically operated expansion valve, an evaporator, and so forth, all being connected in series, wherein there are further provided a by-pass extending from an inlet or an outlet or both of the expansion valve upto an inlet of the compressor through a capillary tube; a first temperature sensor to sense a temperature of a cooling medium at the inlet of the compressor; a second temperature sensor to sense a temperature of the cooling medium within an intake tubing, through which the cooling medium is taken into the inlet of the compressor; and a control device which calculates a super-heat quantity of the cooling medium taken into the compressor on the basis of a difference between the detection outputs of the first and second temperature sensors, and controls a degree of opening of the electrically operated expansion valve, thereby enabling the refrigeration cycle to be operated at high efficiency and in an energy-saving
