Abstract: A first control unit outputs, to a lighting control unit, a lighting signal that causes a plurality of light-emitting units provided for each of a plurality of keys for operating to be sequentially lighted for each of groups determined in advance. Based on a signal for selecting a group outputted from a first selection unit and an output signal from the first control unit, a first comparison/judgment unit outputs a group whose light-emitting unit had been lighted upon selection as a finalized group. A second control unit outputs a lighting signal that causes light-emitting units included in the finalized group to be respectively sequentially lighted, and based on the output signal and a signal for selecting a key outputted from a second selection unit, a second comparison/judgment unit judges that a key corresponding to a light-emitting unit that had been lighted upon selection as a finalized key.

Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigeration or air conditioning system comprising a refrigeration cycle that uses a refrigerant mixture of at least two kinds of refrigerants consisting of 45 to 55 weight percent of R32 and 55 to 45 weight percent of R125, and that includes at least a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator. In some cases the temperature and pressure in a line leading from the inlet of the evaporator to the suction port of the compressor is controlled below a specific temperature and pressure point corresponding to the critical decomposition point of a clathrate that contains water as a host solution and the refrigerant mixture as guest molecules, and within a prescribed control range bounded by a formation limit line of the clathrate and a saturated liquid pressure line representing the pressure versus temperature relationship of saturated liquid of the refrigerant mixture (a first control mode), and a dryer for moisture removal is provided in the refrigeration cycle.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for charging a three-component mixed refrigerant substitutable for R22 or R502 and a method for charging the three-component mixed refrigerant. A high-boiling point refrigerant container and a metering device for the high-boiling point refrigerant and a container for an azeotrope-like mixed refrigerant lower in boiling point than said high-boiling point refrigerant and a metering device for the azeotrope-like mixed refrigerant are connected to one pipe line having a refrigerant charging port, and a given amount of the high-boiling point refrigerant and a given amount of the lower boiling point azeotrope-like mixed refrigerant are metered and charged in this order in a heat pump apparatus.
