The fluid drive unit includes a cylinder communicating with both end portions of a meandering passage formed in the heat transport device. In the cylinder, the piston is slidably arranged being capable of sliding in the axial direction. Fluid is charged in the spaces, which are provided on both sides of the piston, connected to the meandering passage. The solenoid coil, which is provided in the periphery of the side of the cylinder, periodically inverts the magnetic poles and reciprocates the piston in the cylinder. To drive the piston smoothly and reduce the amount of eccentricity, a pair of sliding members are provided at the end portions of the piston. When the fluid in the passage is vibrated by the movement of the piston, the apparent heat conductivity of the heat transport device is enhanced, and heat is quickly diffused from the heating body to the radiating portion.

Fluid drive unit and heat transport system

The central position of each heating bodyin the fluid flow direction is referred to as a heating body central position, the central position of a heat radiating sectionlocated between the neighboring heating bodiesin the fluid flow direction is referred to as a heat radiating section central position, the end of a heat radiating sectionconnected to a pumpon the opposite side of a heat absorbing section is referred to as a heat radiating section front, the distances along the fluid flow from the heating body central position to the heat radiating section central position are referred to as heat transport distances and the distances from the heating body central position to the heat radiating section front are referred to as heat transport distances. S&#x3e;=the maximum heat transport distance Lmax holds. Lmax is the longest of the heat transport distances.

Vibration-flow-type heating-body cooling device

The evaporator and the condenser are disposed in a duct. First bypass passage is disposed at the side of the condenser and first air mixing damper rotates to control air bypassing amount. Further second bypass passage is formed at the side of the evaporator and second mixing damper rotates to control air bypassing amount. Cooling rate at the evaporator and heating rate at the condenser are varied so that air adjusted in proper temperature is generated and discharged from each outlets into a room. An outside heat exchanger is disposed the outside of the duct. Refrigerant flow is randomly switched among the outside heat exchanger, the evaporator and the condenser so that cooling, heating, dehumidifying, dehumidified-heating and defrosting operations are performed.

Automotive airconditioner having condenser and evaporator provided within air duct

Automotive air conditioner having condenser and evaporator provided within air duct

An automotive air conditioner which conditions air making use of radiation of heat of a condenser and absorption of heat of an evaporator effectively. The evaporator 207 and the condenser 203 are disposed in a duct 100. A bypass passageway 150 is provided sidewardly of the condenser 203 in the duct 100, and a flow rate of air bypassing the condenser 203 is controlled by pivotal motion of an air mixing damper 154. Another bypass passage is provided sidewardly of the evaporator 207 in the duct 100, and a flow rate of air bypassing the evaporator 207 is controlled by pivotal motion of a bypass damper 159. Air is conditioned to an optimum blown out air temperature by varying the cooling rate at the evaporator 207 and the heating rate at the condenser 203 and is blown out to a room of an automobile from spit holes 141, 142 and 143. An outside heat exchanger is provided outside the duct 100, and a flow of refrigerant is changed over suitably among the outside heat exchanger 202, the evaporator 207 and the condenser 203 to perform cooling operation, heating operation, dehumidifying operation, dehumidifying heating operation and defrosting operation.

Automotive air conditioner having condenser and evaporator provided

An automotive air conditioner comprises a refrigerating unit including a compressor, for carrying out a refrigerating cycle, and a temperature regulator for setting the temperature of air to be blown into the passenger compartment of an automobile. The rotating speed of the compressor, hence the flow rate of the refrigerant, is regulated by controlling an inverter for controlling an electric motor for driving the compressor according to a temperature set by the temperature regulator. The automatic air conditioner is suitable for use on an electric motorcar.

Automotive hair conditioner

An air conditioning apparatus suitable for an electric car without a hot water source, while preventing the windshield from fogging up when switching from a cooling or dehumidifying operation to a heating operation. Upon the commencement of a heating operation following the end of a preceding cooling or dehumidifying operation lasting for a period longer than a predetermined value, a switching damper 104 is forced to move to the outside air inlet position 104A, when it is determined that a predetermined first time has not elapsed from the end of the last cooling or dehumidifying operation, and a predetermined second time has not elapsed from the commencement of the first heating operation following the end of the last cooling or dehumidifying operation.
