  • Publication number: 20220136745
    Abstract: A condensing portion is formed such that a first refrigerant flow path through which a gas-phase refrigerant flowing into a refrigerant inlet flows and a first heat-medium flow path through which a heat medium flows overlap each other in a stacking direction of plates. A gas-liquid separator separates the refrigerant into gas-phase refrigerant and liquid-phase refrigerant and discharges the liquid-phase refrigerant. A subcooling portion is disposed on one side in the stacking direction with respect to the condensing portion, is formed such that a second refrigerant flow path through which the liquid-phase refrigerant discharged from the gas-liquid separator flows toward a refrigerant outlet and a second heat-medium flow path through which the heat medium flows overlap each other in the stacking direction.

  • Patent number: 10164651
    Abstract: An A/D converter includes a capacitor DAC, a resistor DAC, a first capacitive element, and a comparator. The capacitor DAC is configured to convert high-order M bits, where M and N are integers equal to or greater than 2, and the resistor DAC is configured to convert low-order N bits. The first capacitive element is provided between the capacitor DAC and the resistor DAC, and the comparator is configured to compare an input signal voltage with a voltage output from the capacitor DAC. The resistor DAC generates and outputs a voltage by adding or subtracting a wait based on redundant bits in addition to N-bit resolution.
