  • Patent number: 7055334
    Abstract: An indoor air-conditioning unit 10 which can effectively deactivate allergens includes an intake grill 11 for drawing in indoor air. Indoor heat exchangers 13, 14, and 15 exchange heat between air drawn in from the intake grill 11 and a refrigerant to thereby cool or heat the air. A diffuser 16 returns the air which has been heat-exchanged with the indoor heat exchangers 13, 14, 15, back into the room. A cross-flow fan 17 blows air which has been drawn in from the inlet and heat exchanged from the diffuser 16 into the room. An allergen deactivation filter 18 is arranged in an internal space 5 through which the air flows and supports an allergen deactivation enzyme. An enzyme activation device maintains the internal space S in an atmosphere for activating the allergen deactivation enzyme.

  • Patent number: 5897820
    Abstract: A method of removing a paint film formed on the surface of a resin material, and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. The method comprises heating the resin material having the paint film formed on the surface thereof to deform the resin material, and peeling the paint film from the resin material, and the apparatus comprises a heating means for heating the resin material having the paint film formed on the surface thereof, and a deformation means for deforming the heated resin material and peeling the paint film from the resin material. The method and the apparatus enable one to remove the paint film formed on the surface of the resin material uniformly without deterioration of the resin material and contamination with foreign materials of the resin material even in a resin material having any shape.
