Abstract: A method disclosed herewith is a method for producing a first seamless metal tube with a first wall thickness and a second seamless metal tube with a second wall thickness by using a three-roll-type inclined rolling mill, and the method includes a first inclination rolling step (#5), a setting changing step (#10), and a second inclination rolling step (#15). At the first inclination rolling step, a first workpiece is rolled by the inclined rolling mill. At the setting changing step, a setup condition of the inclined rolling mill is changed in a manner (a) or (b) as described below. At the second inclined rolling step, a second workpiece is rolled by the inclined rolling mill under the changed condition. (a) When the second wall thickness is smaller than the first wall thickness, the cross angle of each of the inclined rolls is made greater than the cross angle set for the first inclination rolling step.

Abstract: A control unit takes in a set temperature, a vehicle-internal temperature, an ambient temperature, an engine-water temperature, a sun load and a vehicle speed from a means for setting a temperature of the air inside a vehicle and sensors. The control unit determines whether a failure has occurred in the internal-air-temperature sensor and the external air temperature sensor. If a failure is determined in any of the sensors, the control unit fetches a substitute value registered in advance in the substitute-value table. Then, the outlet temperature as well as the difference between the vehicle-internal temperature and the set temperature are determined from the signals generated by the sensors. A driving voltage of the FAN motor and switching position of the outlet flap are subsequently computed. If a failure in either of the internal-air-temperature sensor and the external air temperature sensor is determined, an opening of the air-mix flaps is then set.
