  • Publication number: 20220305883
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicular air-conditioning device capable of reducing frost formation on an outdoor heat exchanger during vehicle running after disconnection from an external power source and extending a period during which a heating operation can be performed with high efficiency. A battery 55 is capable of being charged from an external power source. A controller 32 causes an outdoor heat exchanger 7 to absorb heat to thereby execute a heating operation to heat a vehicle interior. The controller 32 is capable of executing air preconditioning to preliminarily heat the vehicle interior before boarding. When the air preconditioning is executed in a state in which the battery 55 is connected to the external power source, the controller 32 heats the vehicle interior without using the outdoor heat exchanger 7, and changes a target temperature for heating control in the air preconditioning in the direction of increasing from a reference value of the target temperature.

  • Publication number: 20220250439
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle air-conditioning device capable of smoothly achieving pre-air-conditioning for preliminarily heating a vehicle interior without forming frost on an outdoor heat exchanger or while preventing frost formation thereon as much as possible. When the temperature of a battery 55 or a motor 65 for running is higher than or equal to a predetermined specified value upon executing the pre-air-conditioning for preliminarily heating the vehicle interior before boarding, a controller 32 operates a compressor 2 to let a refrigerant discharged from the compressor radiate heat in a radiator 4, decompress the refrigerant from which the heat is radiated, and then let the refrigerant absorb heat in a waste heat recovering heat exchanger 64 without using an outdoor heat exchanger 7.

  • Patent number: 10183554
    Abstract: An air conditioning refrigerant circuit (6) includes an engine-driven compressor (7) and an electric compressor (11), which are arranged in parallel. When the engine is running, the engine-driven compressor (7) is used. When the engine stops, e.g., when idling stops, the electric compressor (11) is used. At the startup of the engine by a manual operation such as ignition by a key, the engine-driven compressor (7) is kept at rest and instead, the electric compressor (11) is operated for a predetermined time. After the predetermined time, the engine-driven compressor (7) is operated. In this way, the oil recovery to the electric compressor is promoted.

  • Patent number: 8882878
    Abstract: A method of producing ultra-fine metal particles of the present invention includes: blowing metal powders of raw materials into reducing flame formed by a burner 3 in a furnace 5, wherein the metal powders are melted in the flame and allowed to be in an evaporated state, to thereby obtain the spherical ultra-fine metal particles. In the present invention, the atmosphere in the furnace 5 is preferably prepared such that the CO/CO2 ratio is within a range from 0.15 to 1.2. Also, a spiral flow-forming gas is preferably blown into the furnace 5, and the oxygen ratio of the burner 3 is preferably within a range from 0.4 to 0.8. As raw materials, a metal oxide and/or a metal hydroxide which contain the same metal as the metal powders may be used together with the metal powders.

  • Patent number: 8062406
    Abstract: A process for producing metallic ultra-fine powder, which can use a raw material which is spread over a wide range, and control freely the grain size of the metallic powder to be produced, at low cost and high safety. The process for producing the metallic ultra fine powder consists of using a burner and a furnace which can generate a high temperature reductive atmosphere, and an apparatus for separating gas which is generated in the furnace from powder to recover the powder. The burner has a function of blowing a powdery metallic compound as a raw material into a high temperature reductive flame. The raw material powder is efficiently heated in airflow of a high temperature reductive flame, thereby being reduced rapidly into metallic ultra-fine powder. At this time, the grain size of the metallic ultra-fine powder is controlled by adjusting the oxygen ratio (i.e.
