  • Publication number: 20120297820
    Abstract: A combined heat exchanger system includes a first heat exchanger for cooling a first cooling medium, a second heat exchanger for cooling a second cooling medium, and a compressor for compressing the first cooling medium to be supplied to the first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is separated from the second heat exchanger, being integrally assembled with the compressor in such a way that the first compressor can be directly and fluidically connected with the compressor. The first heat exchanger liquid-cools the first cooling medium, which is outputted from the compressor, by using the second cooling medium that is cooled by the second heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 7219511
    Abstract: An evaporator includes a downwind-side heat exchanging part and an upwind-side heat exchanging part. In the heat exchanging part, paths are formed by partitions. In the evaporator, the flowing direction of coolant flowing in the upwind-side path is opposite to the flowing direction of the coolant flowing in the downwind-side path opposing to the upwind-side path. The number of heat exchanging passages in the path where the coolant rises is smaller than the number of heat exchanging passages in the paths where the coolant downs. As a result, the evaporator enables an increasing of the quantity of coolant flowing in the paths. Thus, if superimposing the upwind-side heat exchanging part on the downwind-side heat exchanging part, then it is possible to reduce an area causing a rise in blowout temperature of the coolant due to its short supply.

  • Patent number: 7107787
    Abstract: In an inlet heat exchange unit, wherein a refrigerant's dryness is low and its flow distribution is likely to cause deviation, a number of heat exchange passages in an ascending flow path at an upstream side is less than the number of heat exchange passages in descending flow paths. Accordingly, refrigerant flowing in the ascending flow path increases, and a region in which the refrigerant lacks is reduced, thereby decreasing temperature variations. In an outlet heat exchange unit, wherein the refrigerant's dryness is high and its flow distribution is unlikely to cause deviation, the number of heat exchange passages a most downstream path is greater than the number of heat exchange passages in the immediately preceding path, thereby suppressing an increase in flow resistance in the most downstream path and keeping flow resistance in the outlet heat exchange unit low.

  • Publication number: 20050223739
    Abstract: In the inlet heat exchange unit 10 in which dryness of the refrigerant is low and flow distribution of the refrigerant is liable to cause deviation, the number of heat exchange passages in the ascending flow path 10b is made smaller than the number of heat exchange passages in the descending flow paths 10a and 10c. Accordingly, a liquid refrigerant flowing in the ascending flow path 10b at the upstream side in the tank longitudinal direction, in which the liquid refrigerant tends to lack, increases, and the region where the liquid refrigerant lacks is reduced. This decreases variations in temperature. Further, in the outlet heat exchange unit 20 in which dryness of the refrigerant is high and flow distribution of the refrigerant is not liable to cause deviation, the number of heat exchange passages in the most downstream path 20c, in which volume of the flowing refrigerant is expanded most, is made larger than the number of heat exchange passages in the path immediately before the most downstream path 20b.

  • Patent number: 6897856
    Abstract: A display control device is provided with an input signal processing section for processing an input signal, a display section for displaying an image, a first display control section for processing an output signal from the input signal processing section to be displayed on the display section, a second display control section operated by an operation program for OS, and a signal switching section for outputting the display signal from the second display control section on to the display section at the normal time. The second display control section processes an output signal from the first display control section to be displayed on the display section. The signal switching section outputs the display signal from the first display control section onto the display section when an abnormal condition of the second display control section is detected.

  • Publication number: 20050039895
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a pair of heat exchanging parts composed of laminated tubes. Each tube is composed of a pair of metal sheets joined to each other. Locating parts each having a projecting piece and a recess are arranged on respective sides of the metal sheet. When the metal sheets are mated, the projecting pieces are engaged with the recesses, respectively. Moreover, the metal sheets are in inverse relation to each other about a top-and-back inversion axis and the projecting pieces are arranged symmetrically to the recesses about the top-and-back inversion axis.

Cutouts are formed in the upper ends of heat transfer tubes, which are located within an upper header pipe. A lubricant mixed in a refrigerant is introduced from the inside of the upper header pipe into the heat transfer tubes by way of the cutouts. The outgoing pipe defining is attached to the lower header pipe at a position close to its end. A total passage area of first heat transfer tubes through which the refrigerant flows downward is larger than that of second heat transfer tubes through which the refrigerant flows upward. The total passage area of the second heat transfer tubes is smaller than that of third heat transfer tubes through which the refrigerant flows downward.
