An air conditioner switches between a normal refrigeration cycle and a defrosting refrigeration cycle, and includes: a refrigerant circuit that connects a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a radiation panel, and an expansion valve that regulates a flow rate of a refrigerant flowing through the radiation panel; and a controller that causes the air conditioner to switch between the normal refrigeration cycle and the defrosting cycle. During the normal refrigeration cycle, the radiation panel performs cooling or heating. During the defrosting cycle, the first heat exchanger serves as a radiator and the second heat exchanger serves as an evaporator. During the defrosting cycle, the controller causes the expansion valve to be in a fully closed state.

This application provides an evaporative cooling unit. The evaporative cooling unit includes an outdoor channel, an indoor channel, and a heat exchange apparatus, and, further includes: an air filter and a defrosting apparatus that are disposed in the outdoor channel. The defrosting apparatus is located on a side that is of the air filter and that is close to an air intake vent of the outdoor channel. The defrosting apparatus includes a heat exchange film, and the heat exchange film has a first channel and a second channel that are arranged crosswise. The first channel communicates with the air intake vent of the outdoor channel, the second channel communicates with the indoor channel, and the first channel communicates with the second channel. The defrosting apparatus further includes a switch valve, and the switch valve is configured to control the second channel to communicate with the indoor channel.

An indirect evaporative cooling air conditioner is provided, which includes a housing, multiple partition plates located in the housing and at least two heat exchangers arranged side by side. The multiple partition plates and the at least two heat exchangers separate the housing into multiple indoor air flow passages and multiple outdoor air flow passages, each heat exchange has a first heat exchange flow passage and a second heat exchange flow passage crosswise and independently arranged, the indoor air flow passages are in communication with the first heat exchange flow passages to form an indoor circulation passage, the outdoor air flow passages are in communication with the second heat exchange flow passages to form an outdoor circulation passage, and the fluid in the indoor circulation passages exchange heat with the fluid in the outdoor circulation passages through the at least two heat exchangers.

A vehicular air conditioner includes a first outlet that blows a conditioned air frontward to flow past a neck part of an occupant on a seat, and a second outlet that is provided below the first outlet and blows the conditioned air upward to flow past an armpit part of the occupant. The second outlet blows the conditioned air to merge with the conditioned air blown from the first outlet. The second outlet blows the conditioned air with an airflow volume larger than an airflow volume of the conditioned air from the first outlet such that the conditioned air blown from the second outlet guides the conditioned air blown from the first outlet to flow along a face of the occupant.

The air sterilization device with heating apparatus comprises a mainframe, a sterilization system, a heating system, circuits and a control system and a housing. The sterilization system includes an ultraviolet sterilization apparatus to sterilize and disinfect air; the heating system heats the air to inactivate virus; and the housing has an air inlet and an air outlet. Air can circulate into the housing through the air inlet with the action of mainframe and then the air is discharged from the air outlet into a room after the disinfection and sterilization processes are finished. The device with heating apparatus aims at the secondary inactivation of viruses by high temperature after the sterilization and disinfection processes are finished by ultraviolet sterilization apparatus and heating system, and at the decomposition of ozone produced in the process of ultraviolet disinfection to eliminate secondary air pollution by ozone.

A Heat Extraction with Water (HEW) cooling system for cooling room air of a building comprises a self-contained, condenser unit including compressor, an HEW condenser tube, and a water pump to circulate cool underground water around the HEW condenser tube. A first flow line between the compressor and the building directs cooled refrigerant to an evaporator tube within the house. A second flow line directs heated refrigerant to the compressor. A third flow line directs heated, compressed refrigerant to a refrigerant flow line in a water jacket

Embodiments provide a thermal management system for supplying stored energy for the purpose of cooling by direct mixing of a common working fluid within a thermal store in which the cooling is realised by phase via latent heat phase change of an ice slurry of the working fluid.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes: a casing; an air handling unit accommodated in the casing and including a first duct and a first outlet, a second duct and a second outlet, a first fan and a second fan; and a refrigerant circuit configured to circulate refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit and including a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger.

A refrigeration system includes at least one refrigeration circuit 2. The refrigeration circuit 2 includes a compressor 10, a first heat rejecting heat exchanger 6, a second heat rejecting heat exchanger 8, an expansion valve 12 and a heat absorbing heat exchanger 4. The refrigeration circuit 2 further includes a heat recovery control valve 14 for controlling flow of the compressed refrigerant fluid between the first heat rejecting heat exchanger and the second heat rejecting heat exchanger. The first heat rejecting heat exchanger 6 is for receiving compressed refrigerant fluid from the compressor 10 and exchanging heat between the compressed refrigerant fluid and a second fluid to increase the temperature of the second fluid. The second heat rejecting heat exchanger 8 is for receiving the compressed refrigerant fluid and exchanging heat with ambient air to cool the compressed refrigerant fluid.
