Patent number: 5517830Abstract: The capacity control range of an interior unit of a multiple type absorption air conditioning system is increased, and turning on and off of cooling/heating and switch over between the cooling and heating can be readily and safely performed. The capacity control range is increased by reserving a liquid refrigerant in an absorption cool/warm water unit. An interior unit is connected to the absorption cool/warm water unit by a communication device. The operation of the cool/warm water unit caused by turning on and off the system and switch over between cooling and heating are automatically controlled by an operation control device. Consequently, the operation is simplified, and safety is improved.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1995Date of Patent: May 21, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tomihisa Ohuchi, Akira Nishiguchi, Seiichiro Sakaguchi, Daisuke Hisajima, Michihiko Aizawa, Takashi Nakao, Yasuo Koseki, Kyoji Kohno

Patent number: 5353866Abstract: Louver segments of a heat transfer fin each have a longitudinal central portion disposed at the center of the louver segment in a direction crossing the flow of a fluid and longitudinal end portions each disposed on either side of the longitudinal central portion and sectioned into parts. Each louver segment has a configuration such that an area of the longitudinal central portion projected in the direction of the flow of the fluid is larger than an area of each of the longitudinal end portions projected in the direction of the flow of the fluid, with respect to the same width of the passage of the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1993Date of Patent: October 11, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hironobu Ueda, Toshio Hatada, Yoshifumi Kunugi, Tomihisa Oouchi, Sigeo Sugimoto, Tamio Shimizu, Kyoji Kohno

Patent number: 4941329Abstract: Fans are disposed on an upper wall face out of the upper wall face, a lower wall face and side wall faces which constitute an outside frame of a machine body. An air-cooled absorber is disposed on two adjacent wall faces. An air-cooled condenser is disposed on one wall face of the remaining side wall faces. A main apparatus comprising such as an evaporator, a high-temperature regenerator, a low-temperature regenerator, a solution heat exchanger and pipes for connecting operatively the apparatuses together is disposed on an inner portion of the machine body so as to be surrounded by the air-cooled absorber and the air-cooled condenser. Thus, a noise generated from the refrigerating machine is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1989Date of Patent: July 17, 1990Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kouji Imura, Tomihisa Ohuchi, Kyoji Kohno, Tamio Shimizu, Michihiko Aizawa

Patent number: 4748830Abstract: First path flow passage is formed so as to lead the absorbent solution in the heat exchanger (7; 107) or the receive pan (24; 118a) disposed below a first path absorption process into a cooling air upper stream side of the first path absorption process through a conduit (30). Subsequent path flow passage is formed so as to lead the absorbent solution in the receive pan (24; 120) disposed below a subsequent path absorption process into the cooling air upper stream side of same path absorption process. The absorbent solution flow amount of each vertical tubes group (10; 158) can be obtained larger irrespective of the absorbent solution circulation flow amount for the refrigeration cycle. The dry portions of the vertical tube (10; 158) caused due to the storage of the absorbent solution circulation flow amount can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1987Date of Patent: June 7, 1988Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tomihisa Oouchi, Kyoji Kohno, Yoshifumi Kunugi, Kenzi Machizawa
