Abstract: It is determined whether thermo-off postponement control is allowed or not on the basis of a current compressor operating frequency when a thermo-off condition is satisfied. If it is determined that thermo-off postponement control is allowed, the thermo-off postponement control in which a lowest operating frequency in an operating frequency range of a compressor is temporarily reduced within a range greater than or equal to a minimum operating frequency of the compressor in use so as to continue an operation. If it is determined that thermo-off postponement control is not allowed, thermo-off of stopping the compressor is performed.

Abstract: In a vehicle with a load-carrying platform, an elastic band is provided so a rear portion of a tailgate and a rear portion of a bed extender enter a tensioned state. A rotation regulation mechanism is provided to the tailgate and the bed extender that regulates further rotational movement by the tailgate and the bed extender making contact when the tailgate is rotated towards a closed position. The bed extender and the tailgate are prevented from rotating in the same direction by the rotation regulation mechanism, and the load on the elastic band is mitigated.

Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a compressor and sets a heating-mode lower limit refrigerant volume flow rate through the compressor. The heating-mode lower limit refrigerant volume flow rate is a lower limit of a volume flow rate in a heating operation. The apparatus controls a rotation speed of the compressor such that the volume flow rate in the heating operation is greater than or equal to the heating-mode lower limit refrigerant volume flow rate. The heating-mode lower limit refrigerant volume flow rate includes a first lower limit for use of an R410A refrigerant and a second lower limit for use of an R32 refrigerant. When using the R32 refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle apparatus designed for the R410A refrigerant, the apparatus performs correction such that the lower limit is increased from the first lower limit to the second lower limit to control the rotation speed of the compressor.

Abstract: In a compressor shell built in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, a compressor shell thermistor that detects a temperature of the shell is installed. Also, an outside air temperature thermistor that detects an outside air temperature is installed in an outdoor unit. The outside air temperature is compared with the compressor shell temperature, and if the shell temperature is higher than the outside air temperature, a compressor heating device is invalidated. If the shell temperature is lower than the outside air temperature, it is determined as a refrigerant collection condition, and the compressor heating device is operated. Also, if the shell temperature is higher than the outside air temperature by a certain temperature or more, the operation of the compressor heating device is stopped so that wasteful standby power is reduced, and energy of the apparatus is saved.
