Abstract: The present invention provides an adsorption-type cooling apparatus comprising first, second, third, and fourth adsorption devices filled with a coolant and contain adsorbents which adsorb evaporated coolant and desorb the adsorbed coolant during heating. Adsorption cores provide heat exchange between the adsorbents and a heat medium, and evaporation and condensation cores provide heat exchange between heating medium and the coolant. A cooling device in which heating medium cooled in the evaporation and condensation cores circulates and cools the object of cooling. A heating means supplies a high-temperature heat medium to the first-fourth adsorption devices. A cooling means supplies a low-temperature heat medium which has a temperature lower than that of the high-temperature heat medium to the first-fourth adsorption devices. Also, a switching control means is provided which switches between multiple states.

Abstract: A automatic surveillance camera equipment contains an infrared ray detecting sensor having a plurality of sensing zones and for detecting an intruder within a watching area and transmitting its signal to a control device, a control device for sending a command signal to a camera unit in response to the signal from the infrared ray detecting sensor, a camera unit for supplying a response signal to a camera in response to the command signal from the control device, a camera for synchronizing a strobe and a camera shutter each other by the response signal from the camera unit, automatically shooting, and automatically rewinding a film simultaneously together in a protective case, and is intended to perform photography of an intruder on each of the sensing zones of the infrared sensor when the intruder enters the watching area. An alarm system is directly communicated to the outside through a telephone line to transmit a signal.

Abstract: A cooling medium charge amount detector capable of detecting whether or not an actual amount of a cooling medium is a desired amount in comparison with the amount of the cooling medium necessary for a desired degree of supercooling on an inlet side of an expansion valve in a refrigeration circulation system, without using a sensor or computation means. A cooling medium on the inlet side of an expansion valve 23 in a refrigeration circulation system 20 is allowed to flow into a cooling medium charge amount detector 40. Throttles 41, 42, 43 are disposed in this cooling medium charge amount detector 40, and sight glasses 44, 45, 46 are disposed at both ends of the throttles 41, 42, 43 to detect a gas-liquid condition of the cooling medium. When the cooling medium flows into this cooling medium charge amount detector, the shift of the cooling medium from a liquid condition to a two-phase gas-liquid condition is checked upstream or downstream of any throttle to match the load condition at that time.

Abstract: A refrigerant recovery system has a refrigerant recovery vessel which is connected to a refrigerant-recovered refrigeration circuit. A gaseous refrigerant in the refrigerant-recovered refrigeration system is sucked into the refrigerant recovery vessel due to the difference between the pressure in the refrigerant-recovered refrigeration circuit and the refrigerant recovery wheel. The refrigerant recovery vessel is cooled by a refrigeration circuit provided in the refrigerant recovery system, so that the sucked gaseous refrigerant is a liquified. to the refrigerant recovery vessel, a recovery tank made of a cartridge type is connected. The liquefied refrigerant from the refrigerant recovery vessel is sent to the tank. When the temperature of the recovery tank is not low enough, the liquefied refrigerant sent into the tank is evaporated and then returns to the refrigerant recovery vessel so that the refrigerant is liquefied in the vessel again.
