Publication number: 20120297820Abstract: A combined heat exchanger system includes a first heat exchanger for cooling a first cooling medium, a second heat exchanger for cooling a second cooling medium, and a compressor for compressing the first cooling medium to be supplied to the first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is separated from the second heat exchanger, being integrally assembled with the compressor in such a way that the first compressor can be directly and fluidically connected with the compressor. The first heat exchanger liquid-cools the first cooling medium, which is outputted from the compressor, by using the second cooling medium that is cooled by the second heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Inventors: Akira MASUDA, Hiroyuki Inaba, Satoshi Haneda, Tatsunari Kawaguchi, Toshiharu Watanabe, Masahiro Tsuda

Patent number: 7984620Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus has plural indoor units having: plural heat exchangers; and flow controllers respectively corresponding to the heat exchangers. In each of the indoor units, one heat exchanger is used as a condenser, and another heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, thereby causing the indoor unit to perform a temperature and humidity controlling operation. An indoor unit(s) which is not set to perform the temperature and humidity controlling operation may be caused to perform a heating operation or a cooling operation. Capacity controls on the condensers and the evaporators are performed by corresponding flow controllers. Gas refrigerants ejected from plural heat exchangers serving as evaporators are joined together, and then distributed to plural heat exchangers serving as condensers.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Daisuke Shimamoto, Munehiro Yamanaka, Hidekazu Tani, Tomohiko Kasai, Masahiro Tsuda, Shuji Oura, Makoto Saitou

Patent number: 6671281Abstract: An ATM LAN emulation network is disclosed, in which a terminal can easily access an ELAN, to which he terminal was previously connected, via another ELAN. In this system, an LECS is mounted at each router, and the ATM address of the LECS is stored in advance in the ATM switch. When a terminal is connected to the ATM switch, the terminal is connected to an LECS using a Well-known address. When the LECS communicating with the terminal connected to the first ELAN receives a request for obtaining the ATM address of the second ELAN to which the terminal was previously connected, the LECS obtains the ATM address of the LECS of another ELAN of the next hop according to the IP routing information. If the next-hop LECS is connected to the second ELAN, the terminal can obtain the ATM address of the LES which manages the second ELAN via the LECS communicating with the terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1999Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Masahiro Tsuda
