Abstract: A refrigerant circuit system includes a compressor configured to compress refrigerant, a condenser configured to cause the compressed refrigerant to radiate heat, first and second evaporators each configured to decompress and expand the heat-radiated refrigerant by regulating a valve opening degree, first and second evaporators provided in parallel and configured to cause the refrigerant, respectively decompressed and expanded by the first and second expansion valves, to absorb heat, and a controller configured to, based on first information related to a temperature of a first temperature regulated object, regulated by the first evaporator, second information related to a temperature of a second temperature regulated object, regulated by the second evaporator, and third information related to a degree of superheat of the refrigerant at an inlet of the compressor, control the valve opening degrees of the first and second expansion valves and a compression ratio of the refrigerant by the compressor.

Abstract: A piping includes: a hose made of an elastic material; a pipe made of metal, the pipe having an insertion part inserted inside of the hose; and a sleeve arranged on an outer side of the insertion part and the hose in a radial direction. The insertion part has an uneven surface around an outer circumference side of the insertion part, and the uneven surface has an annular groove and an annular projection. The groove has a groove slope that narrows the pipe toward a tip end of the insertion part, and a groove bottom that extends from an insertion-tip-side end of the groove slope to the projection with a constant outer diameter. The sleeve has a small diameter part located on an outer side of the uneven surface in the radial direction to press the hose against the uneven surface.

Abstract: An aluminum alloy connector which is excellent in extrusion property and sacrificial anode property, the connector being extruded in a hollow shape from an aluminum alloy extrusion material consisting of 0.2 to 0.8% (hereinafter, “%” means “mass %”) of Si, 0.45 to 0.9% of Mg, 1.0 to 3.5% of Zn, 0.001 to 0.2% of Ti and the balance of Al plus unavoidable impurities. An electric potential of said aluminum alloy extrusion connector is lower than an electric potential of a pipe member made of an Al—Mg—Si series alloy or an Al—Mn series alloy which is to be swaged to the connector, by 100 mV or more.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus for cooling a heating body such as a CPU by boiling and condensing refrigerant has a tank having a heating body mounting portion on which the CPU is mounted; a porous metallic sintered body arranged in the tank; and refrigerant contained in the tank. The tank has a pair of faced walls including a heat-receiving wall and a radiation wall. The porous metallic sintered body is arranged along the heat-receiving wall, and transports the refrigerant collected at the bottom of the tank to an adjacent portion of the heating body mounting portion by using a capillary action. Since the refrigerant is boiled at such a wide adjacent portion, a superheat degree of the heating body mounting portion can decrease. Furthermore, since the refrigerant collected at the bottom of the tank is transported to the adjacent portion by the capillary action, an area of the radiation wall soaked in the refrigerant becomes small.
