  • Publication number: 20240337401
    Abstract: A ventilation apparatus includes a processor; a compressor; a first heat exchanger; a first air flow path configured to supply air from outdoors to an indoor space after passing through the first heat exchanger; a second heat exchanger; a second air flow path configured to exhaust air from the indoor space to the outdoors after passing through the second heat exchanger; and a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant flows, the refrigerant circuit being connected to the compressor, and the first and second heat exchangers. The processor detects whether a predetermined reference indicating a possibility of frosting in the second heat exchanger is satisfied while the second heat exchanger is functioning as an evaporator, and controls a temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the second heat exchanger such that the second heat exchanger will have a temperature at which frosting does not occur, when the predetermined reference is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20240328658
    Abstract: The air-conditioning system according to an embodiment is provided with a ventilation device, an air-conditioner, a processor, and a memory storing one or more programs, which when executed, cause the processor to control the ventilation device and the air-conditioner. The processor stores a first capability indicating a heat load that can be output corresponding to the power consumption of the ventilation device and a second capability indicating a heat load that can be output corresponding to the power consumption of the air conditioner, acquires the temperature of an indoor space, and sets the ventilation device and the air conditioner to share the first heat load that needs to be adjusted in the indoor space calculated based on the temperature of the indoor space according to the first capability and the second capability.

  • Publication number: 20240310071
    Abstract: The ventilation system 1 according to the present disclosure includes: a refrigerant circuit 60; an air supply path having an interior in which a first heat exchanger 12 and a first air supply fan 22A and a second air supply fan 22B are arranged; an exhaust air path having an interior in which a second heat exchanger 32 and an exhaust fan 42 are arranged; a first air supply detector 23A for detecting a first supply airflow AF1 blown out by the first air supply fan 22A; a second air supply detector 23B for detecting a second supply airflow AF2 blown out by the second air supply fan 22B; and a control unit CU. The control unit CU executes first air supply control to adjust the rotational speed of the first air supply fan 22A so that the first supply airflow AF1 becomes a target value TV1, and second air supply control to adjust the rotational speed of the second air supply fan 22B so that the second supply airflow AF2 becomes a target value TV2.

  • Patent number: 8192535
    Abstract: A dust collector includes a charging part (12) for charging dust with electricity and a dust collecting part (30). Each of a dust collecting electrode (40) and a high-voltage electrode (50) that constitute the dust collecting part (30) includes: a base (41, 51) with a rectangular grid structure having a large number of vent holes (46, 56) formed therein; and projections (42, 52) extending into the vent holes (56, 46) of the opposed electrode (50, 40). The dust collector collects dust by generating an electric field between the dust collecting electrode (40) and the high-voltage electrode (50).

  • Publication number: 20090241579
    Abstract: In a liquid treatment apparatus, a discharge electrode (31) and an ejector (32) are arranged face to face with each other. An electric power supply (33) establishes an electric potential difference between the discharge electrode (31) and the ejector (32). As a result, a streamer discharge occurs from the discharge electrode (31) towards liquid droplets (32a) emitted from the ejector (32). Active species produced in association with the generation of the streamer discharge are absorbed in the liquid droplets (32a), whereby the treatment target water (32a) is sterilized and purified.
