Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding tube has a resin inner layer as the innermost layer, a resin outer layer as the outermost layer, and a metal metal-layer between the inner layer and the outer layer. The bonding strength between the outer layer and the metal layer is made weaker with respect to the bonding strength between the inner layer and the metal layer. For example, while an adhesive layer is provided between the inner layer and the metal layer, the outer layer can be directly extrusion coated onto the metal layer without providing an adhesive layer or the like between the outer layer and the metal layer.

Abstract: A crimp terminal (10) comprises a box part (20) and a cable connector (30). The box part (20) is connected to another terminal. The cable connector (30) is coupled with the box terminal (20) and connected with a covered cable (50). Also, the cable connector (30) includes a hollow formed by welding a metal plate, in which a pressing part for conduction (33b) and a compression part for waterproofing (33a) are formed. The pressing part for conduction (33b) presses a conduction part (51) of the covered cable (50) to ensure conduction with the covered cable. The compression for waterproofing (33a) presses and compresses a covered part (52) of the covered cable (50) inwardly to prevent water from entering inside.

Abstract: A heat pump system includes a heat pump circuit, a heat load circuit, first and second heat exchangers, a flow rate adjustment element, and a controller. The heat pump circuit circulates primary refrigerant through a low and high stage-side compression elements, an expansion element and an evaporator. The heat load circuit circulates a first fluid and has a first and second branching portions, first and second branching channels, and a heat-load-processing section. The first and second heat exchangers perform heat exchange between the primary refrigerant and the first fluid. Flow rate of the first fluid in the first and/or second branching channel is adjustable. The controller performs flow rate adjustment control so as to maintain a state in which a predetermined temperature condition is satisfied, or to reduce a difference between the temperature of the first fluid flowing through portions of the first and second branching channels.

Abstract: A refrigerant circuit of an air conditioning apparatus includes a heat source unit, a utilization unit having a utilization-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and liquid and gas refrigerant connection pipes interconnecting the heat source unit and the utilization unit. The heat source unit has an adjustable capacity compressor, a heat source-side heat exchanger, and a cooling heat source adjusting part to adjust cooling action of a cooling heat source with respect to the heat source-side heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit can perform at least a cooling operation. A determination of the adequacy of the quantity of the refrigerant charged inside of the refrigerant circuit is made based on a first degree of supercooling corrected value derived by correcting a degree of supercooling or an operating state quantity by at least one of outside air temperature, condensation temperature, and a value obtained by numericizing cooling action.

Abstract: A refrigerant circuit of an air conditioning apparatus includes a heat source unit, a utilization unit having a utilization-side heat exchanger, and liquid and gas refrigerant connection pipes interconnecting the heat source unit and the utilization unit. The heat source unit has an adjustable capacity compressor, a heat source-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism and an accumulator. The refrigerant circuit can perform at least cooling operation. Compressor frequency, degree of superheat, and degree of supercooling are stored in a stable state where the degree of supercooling has been made equal to or greater than a first predetermined value. After a predetermined time period, the degree of supercooling is detected while compressor frequency and degree of superheat become the stored compressor frequency and degree of superheat. The detected degree of supercooling is compared with the stored degree of supercooling to determine adequacy of the quantity of refrigerant inside the refrigerant circuit.
