A cooling device for a printer head includes an evaporation unit, a condenser and a refrigeration medium supply pump interconnected by conduits or tubes. The heat generated from the printer head is taken up in the form of the heat of vaporization of a refrigeration medium in the evaporation unit disposed around the printer head.

An air conditioning system includes a first indoor unit having a heat exchanger separating the inside space of a case in which air drawn from an air inlet is passed through the heat exchanger and then discharged from a plurality of air outlets, and a second indoor unit having no heat exchanger and connected with one of the air outlets via an intake duct. With this construction, the air to be distributed to a plurality of rooms is cooled or heated by a common heat exchanger. The air conditioning system thus constructed can be installed easily and has a relatively small number of structural components.

A diffuser unit for air conditioning systems includes an air supply duct having an air inlet and two air outlets, two dampers for adjusting the open area of the respective air outlets, and a linkage mechanism interconnecting the dampers and a drive unit. The dampers include arcuate end portions for contacting an inner wall of the duct and for preventing the generation of wind noise from air being supplied through the duck. The linkage mechanism is so constructed as to displace a selected one of the dampers while holding the other damper in its closed position.

A vane compressor has a vane back pressure adjustment device including back-pressure chambers defined in a vane-supporting rotor and surrounded by vanes and side blocks secured to axial ends of a cylinder. The back-pressure chamber has axial ends disposed to follow a path against each of the side blocks when the rotor rotates. The path is divided into at least one high-pressure zone in which the vanes move across a pump outlet defined in the cylinder, and at least one normal-pressure zone which is the remainder of the path. In the normal-pressure zone, oil grooves defined in surfaces of the side blocks which face the rotor and supplied with oil from an oil sump in the vane compressor are in communication with the back-pressure chambers, to thereby maintain the oil pressure in the back-pressure chambers at a pressure level in the oil sump. In the high-pressure zone, the back-pressure chambers are out of communication with the oil grooves so that the oil fed into the back-pressure chambers is confined therein, except through a restrictor means. When the vanes move across the pump outlet, the vanes enter the high-pressure zone to trap oil in the back-pressure chambers to thereby elevate the oil pressure in the back-pressure chambers to a high level. Therefore, the vanes are prevented from being retracted deeply into vane slits in the rotor and then popping out into hitting engagement with the cylinder.

An indoor unit for room air conditioners includes a case having two compartments which are separated by a heat exchanger and are connected respectively to an air inlet and an air outlet. A side wall of the case in which the air outlet is formed and a side wall of the case in which the air outlet is formed can be changed without using a separate component. With this construction, the indoor unit can be installed in various houses or buildings of different types and hence is suitable for mass-production.

A cylinder has at least one valve seating surface-forming portion which has an outer surface formed therein with at least one recess, the bottom surface of which serves as a valve seating surface. A discharge valve is arranged on the valve seating surface-forming portion to close or open outlet holes each formed in corresponding ones of the valve seating surface. The discharge valve has at least one valve body formed of an elastic plate member disposed in close contact with a corresponding one of the valve seating surface. Preferably, the valve seating surface is arcuately concavely curved and the corresponding valve body has a correspondingly curved surface. The outlet holes are each formed in a thinnest portion of the valve seating surface-forming portion.

Compressor having discharge valve means adapted to enhance the

A rotary compressor has a plurality of vanes which are slidably disposed in radial slots of a rotor to define fluid chambers in cooperation with a cylindrical housing. The radially innermost end of each vane, rotor and opposite ends of the housing define a back-pressure chamber which is supplied with a pressure during a suction stroke for maintaining the associated vane in sealing contact with the inner wall of the housing. Each of opposite ends of the housing has a unique configuration which damps the pressure in the back-pressure chamber when the chamber is fluidly isolated from a source of the pressure supply during a compression stroke, thereby eliminating excessive friction between the vane and the housing.

A swash plate compressor is disclosed which is provided with a compression capacity control apparatus capable of returning an output pressure of a high pressure chamber of one cover to a low pressure chamber of the same cover. The control apparatus comprises a delivery chamber which is communicated with a high pressure chamber of the other cover, isolated from the high pressure chamber of the one cover and connected to a delivery conduit. The control apparatus also comprises a compression capacity control passageway providing communication between the delivery chamber and the low pressure and high pressure chambers of the one cover. A rotary three-way valve member is disposed in the control passageway to interrupt the communication between the delivery chamber and the high pressure chamber of the one cover while establishing communication between the low pressure and high pressure chambers of the one cover. A relief valve is provided to communicate to the delivery chamber an elevated pressure in the compression chamber of the one cover while the rotary valve member shifts from one position to another.

A vane compressor has a suction connector and a discharge connector arranged at a rear portion thereof. A rear suction chamber is formed at a rear side of the rear side block and communicates with pump working chambers. A passage means directly communicates the above rear suction chamber with an annular front suction chamber formed in the front head in a manner surrounding a sealing chamber accommodating a shaft-seal means.

A portion of the endless camming surface of the pump housing, which performs one cycle of suction, compression, and discharge of fluid in cooperation with the vanes and the rotor, includes an increasing radius portion and first through fourth decreasing radius portions successively arranged in the advancing direction of the vanes. These camming surface portions have such cam profiles that with movement of each vane, the amount of protrusion of the vane gradually increases along the increasing radius portion, and gradually decreases along the decreasing radius portions, the receding speed of the vane gradually increasing along the first and third decreasing radius portions, and gradually decreasing along the second and fourth decreasing radius portions. The cam profiles may preferably vary along quadratic curves. Preferably, the above one cycle performing portion further includes one or two constant radius portions located between the above five portions, along which the amount of protrusion of each vane is kept substantially constant with movement of the vane.

A simple capacity modulation device for a compressor is disclosed which includes a modulating member slidably disposed in a cylindrical enclosure associated with a compression chamber. Pressure from a low pressure chamber or a high pressure chamber is piloted to one end of the modulating member while pressure in the compression chamber is applied to the other end. The modulating member moves to and remains in a position for increasing or decreasing the top volume of the compression chamber in response to a pressure differential acting thereon.
