Abstract: An order in/out processing system is provided, capable of alleviating burdens of an order receiver and an orderer and improving the physical distribution efficiency when the order receiver receives an order. The order in/out processing system includes an order receiving means 14 used by the order receiver 1 to receive the order from the orderer 3 and to acquire corresponding order data, an ordering means used by the order receiver 1 to make an order to an associate 4 on the basis of the order data, a business plan data acquiring means 16 used by the order receiver to acquire business plan data from the associate 3, an operation means 12 used by the order receiver 1 to calculate an expected time of departure at least from the order data and the business plan data, and a transmission means 15 used by the order receiver 1 to transmit to the orderer the expected time of departure calculated by the operation means.

Abstract: A heater unit for use in an air conditioner for automotive vehicles comprises: a casing formed therein with an air inlet passage, a discharging air passage communicating the air inlet passage with an upper or face-level air outlet or a floor air outlet, a heating air passage extending from the air inlet passage to the inlet of a heater core, and a hot air passage extending from the outlet of the heater core and terminating at least in a side wall of the heater core where it intersects with the discharging air passage; a temperature adjusting damper for adjusting the ratio of air being supplied from the air inlet passage to the discharging air passage and air being supplied from the air inlet passage to the heating air passage; and an auxiliary damper arranged at the intersection of the air discharge passage with the hot air passage or in its vicinity for interrupting the communication between the latter two passages.

Abstract: A fin and refrigerant tube assembly is mounted in a housing. The fins are arranged parallel to each other and the tube is doubled back on itself a number of times to perpendicularly extend through and be connected to the fins at a plurality of locations. The doubled over U-shaped ends of the tube extend external of the ends of the fin assembly. Air is forced from a main inlet through the fins parallel thereto to an outlet. The housing in conjunction with one end of the fin assembly defines a precooling chamber having a secondary air inlet and an outlet leading to the main inlet. Air passing through the precooling chamber is cooled by the doubled over ends of the tube and moisture condenses on the doubled over ends of the tube. Dust particles entrained in the air accumulate with the moisture on the doubled over ends of the tube rather than on fins whereby the spaces between the fins do not become clogged with dust.
