39143 results about "Air conditioning" patented technology

Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C, or air con) is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of an occupied space to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both domestic and commercial environments. This process is most commonly used to achieve a more comfortable interior environment, typically for humans and other animals; however, air conditioning is also used to cool and dehumidify rooms filled with heat-producing electronic devices, such as computer servers, power amplifiers, and to display and store some delicate products, such as artwork.

Vehicle air conditioner

In a vehicle air conditioner, a first air passage through which outside air flows and a second air passage through which inside air flows are provided to be partitioned from each other, so that outside air in the first air passage is blown toward a front seat side of a passenger compartment from a front air outlet after passing through a first part of a heat exchanger, and inside air in the second air passage is blown toward a rear seat side of the passenger compartment from a rear air outlet after passing through a second part of the heat exchanger, during a double layer flow mode. Thus, in the second air passage, temperature of air sucked from an inside air port can be set to temperature of inside air inside the passenger compartment, while air pressure loss due to an inside air suction is decreased. As a result, in the vehicle air conditioner, air-conditioning capacity for the rear seat side is improved.

Air conditioning apparatus for vehicle seat

An air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle seat includes a seat blower unit disposed in a lower side of the seat, and a seat duct for leading air from an air conditioning unit to the seat through the seat blower unit. In the air conditioning apparatus, it can be determined that heat load of a passenger compartment is decreased to a predetermined value based on an operation state of a unit blower of the air conditioning unit, and the seat blower is stopped when the heat load is decreased to the predetermined value. Further, the seat blower is turned on or off according to the heat load of the passenger compartment, so that temperature of the seat can be controlled within a predetermined range. On the other hand, even when the unit blower is stopped when a water temperature of a heating unit of the air conditioning unit is lower than a set temperature, the seat blower unit and an electrical heater disposed in the seat duct are operated so that air passing through the heating unit is heated by the electrical unit and is blown into the seat by the seat blower unit.

Data center evaluation using an air re-circulation index

In a method for evaluating one or more components in a data center, inlet and outlet temperatures of one or more heat dissipating devices are detected. In addition, the temperatures of air supplied by one or more computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units are also detected. Indices of air re-circulation for the one or more heat dissipating devices are calculated based upon the detected inlet temperatures, outlet temperatures and supplied air temperatures. The indices of air re-circulation are determined at various flow field settings of air delivered to the one or more heat dissipating devices and the one or more components are evaluated based upon changes in the indices of air re-circulation for the one or more heat dissipating devices at the various flow field settings.
