  • Patent number: 12072129
    Abstract: An indoor unit of a refrigeration apparatus, to be disposed in a ceiling, includes a casing that has blow-out ports and a blow-in port disposed in a lower surface, a plate-shaped member disposed below the blow-in port, and a filter disposed above an opening in the plate-shaped member. The casing accommodates a heat exchanger, a control board, a support member supporting the control board, and a gas sensor disposed at or adjacent to the support member and between the casing and the plate-shaped member. The gas sensor detects the refrigerant flowing out of the blow-in port due to refrigerant leakage, and the gas sensor is removable when the plate-shaped member is shifted.

  • Patent number: 12071908
    Abstract: An upstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting an upstream gas temperature at a starting point in time of integration from the upstream gas temperature after starting of the internal combustion engine. A downstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting a downstream gas temperature at the starting point in time of the integration from the downstream gas temperature after the starting of the internal combustion engine. An anomaly diagnosing process obtains an anomaly determination result indicating that the exhaust purification device is in a removed state when a deviation between the upstream integrated value and the downstream integrated value is smaller than a reference level. The determination threshold is higher than a dew point.

  • Publication number: 20220168937
    Abstract: A run-around circuit makes a hydraulic fluid discharged from a rod-side chamber along with a forward movement of a piston in an injection cylinder flow into a head-side chamber. A servo valve is provided in the run-around circuit and is connected to a tank. In a first state, the servo valve permits flow from the rod-side chamber to the head-side chamber, while prohibits flow from the rod-side chamber to the tank. In a second state, the servo valve prohibits flow from the rod-side chamber to the head-side chamber, while permits flow from the rod-side chamber to the tank. The servo valve can control the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid discharged from the rod-side chamber in each of the first state and second state.
