Patent number: 10816271Abstract: A heat exchanger includes: a first heat transfer tube unit including first heat transfer tubes arranged in parallel along a first direction within a horizontal plane; and a second heat transfer tube unit including second heat transfer tubes arranged in parallel with one another along a second direction that intersects the first direction within the horizontal plane. Each of the first heat transfer tubes and the second heat transfer tubes includes: straight portions arranged in parallel in a vertical direction; and one or more curved portions that make end portions of the straight portions communicate with each other. The straight portions of the first heat transfer tube unit and the straight portions of the first heat transfer tube unit are stacked on each other alternately.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: YAZAKI ENERGY SYSTEM CORPORATIONInventors: Tomiyuki Matsukiyo, Takahide Sugiyama, Osamu Hiyama, Syungo Saito, Jun Kuroda

Patent number: 6477850Abstract: The air conditioner comprises heat transfer medium temperature adjusting device 1 for adjusting the temperature of a heat transfer medium, an absorption chiller 5 having as a heat source the heat transfer medium supplied from the heat transfer medium temperature adjusting device 1 via a heat transfer medium line 7a through which the heat transfer medium conducts, a valve 9a provided in the heat transfer medium line 7a, a by-pass line 11a branching off from the valve 9a, and an indoor unit 19 supplied with a refrigerant from the absorption chiller 5 or the heat transfer medium from the heat transfer medium temperature adjusting device 1 via the by-pass line 11a. Thereby, at the time of heating, the valve is switched to allow the heat transfer medium to pass through the by-pass line 11, so that the heat transfer medium can be directly supplied via the by-pass line 11 to the indoor unit 19.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2001Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Kazuhei Arita, Tomiyuki Matsukiyo, Yoshihiro Ichino, Shinji Tongu
