  • Publication number: 20150271458
    Abstract: The performance and the functionality of a projection-type video display device are improved to expand an application range of the projection-type video display device. The projection-type display device has two optical engines, increases the luminance of a display image, achieves a pseudo high resolution, or displays a three-dimensional image and a wide screen. The two optical engines have an adjusting mechanism to adjust a position on which an image is displayed. The adjusting mechanism has a plurality of mechanisms which adjust relative three-dimensional axis-direction positions between the two optical engines and inclinations of the optical engines with respect to axes. For example, in consideration of cross actions between adjustments, the plurality of adjusting mechanisms are allocated to the optical engines. As a result, the adjustments can be easily performed.

  • Publication number: 20140373564
    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus has a compressor, a radiator, and an evaporator connected in order to form a refrigerant circuit. The refrigeration apparatus includes an expansion mechanism disposed at an inflow side of the evaporator, a detector that detects a supercooled state of the refrigerant at the inflow side of the evaporator, and a control part. The expansion mechanism controls expansion of refrigerant based on at least one of a high-pressure target value of the refrigerant circuit, a low-pressure target value of the refrigerant circuit, and a superheat target value at an outflow side of the evaporator. The control part causes at least one of a settings change to raise the high-pressure target value, to lower the low-pressure target value and to raise the superheat target value upon determining based on detection results from the detector that refrigerant at the evaporator inflow side is in a supercooled state.

  • Patent number: 8891026
    Abstract: Provided is a projection video display device with which a sliding load is minimized while maintaining an adjustment precision in a lens shift mechanism. A lens shift mechanism (32) which moves a projection lens in a direction which is orthogonal to the optical axis of projected light has a configuration in which mobile bases (50, 60), which retain the projection lens, slide using a shaft (52), which is attached on a fixed member (4) side, as a guide member. A further aspect of the configuration is that a correction screw is inserted from the rear face side of the fixed member (4) to make contact with the shaft (52), and optical axis tilt and misalignment of the projection lens are corrected by adjusting the degree of insertion of the correction screw.

    Abstract: A refrigerant circuit of a humidity control apparatus is provided with two adsorption heat exchangers. In the refrigerant circuit, refrigerant can circulate in reverse directions. A switching mechanism of the humidity control apparatus switches between a transfer path of the outdoor air to be supplied into a room and a transfer path of the indoor air to be exhausted to the outside the room. In a first operation of the humidity control apparatus, a direction of refrigerant circulation and a flow path of the air are changed every predetermined period. In a second operation of the humidity control apparatus, the refrigerant circuit is stopped, and the flow path of the air is changed every predetermined period.

    Abstract: A hot water supply air conditioning system performs a first cold-storage operation, a second cold-storage operation, and a cold-used air-cooling operation. In the first cold-storage operation, a hot-water-supply-side heat exchanger serves as a condenser, and a thermal-storage-side heat exchanger serves as an evaporator. Moreover, a hot water supplier heats water of a hot water storage tank, and a thermal storage stores cold thermal energy in a thermal storage tank. In the second cold-storage operation, a heat-source-side heat exchanger serves as a condenser, and the thermal-storage-side heat exchanger serves as an evaporator. Moreover, the thermal storage stores cold thermal energy in the thermal storage tank. In the cold-used air-cooling operation, the hot water supply air conditioning system cools room air using cold thermal energy stored in the thermal storage tank.

  • Publication number: 20140223941
    Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a heat source unit, a plurality of utilization units, a height-associated value detection unit and a pressure control unit. The heat source unit has a compressor and a heat source-side heat exchanger that functions as a radiator. Each utilization unit has a pressure reducer and a utilization-side heat exchanger that functions as an evaporator. The height-associated value detection unit detects a height-associated value of each utilization unit. The height associated value of each utilization unit corresponds to a height of the utilization unit. The height of each utilization unit is a vertical distance between the utilization unit and the heat source unit. The pressure control unit determines whether each of the utilization units is in operation or stopped and performs refrigerant pressure control based on the height-associated values of the utilization units that have been determined to be in operation.

  • Publication number: 20140009698
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal projector which prevents deterioration of an aluminum grid inorganic polarizing plate due to dusts included in cooling wind for cooling a liquid crystal panel module. A shade member is provided along a surface of the inorganic polarizing plate on which the cooling wind is received, to prevent the surface from being directly receiving the cooling wind and thus prevent attachment of dusts. In order to reduce a cooling effect due to the shade member, 0.9t?a?1.5t and 0.5t?b?1.5t are satisfied, where a represents a width of the shade member, b represents a distance between the shade member and the polarizing plate, and t represents a thickness of the polarizing plate. As a result, it is possible to obtain the cooling effect and the effect of reducing the dusts at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8006509
    Abstract: A humidity control system (10) includes a refrigerant circuit (50) in which an adsorption heat exchanger (51, 52) carrying an adsorbent thereon is connected. During a regeneration action of a humidification operation of the humidity control system (10), outdoor air passes through the adsorption heat exchanger (51, 52) from upstream towards downstream in the flow of refrigerant. Therefore, the air can be effectively increased in temperature at the air inflow end of the adsorption heat exchanger (51, 52), thereby preventing freezing of dew condensation water.
