A pivot window includes a laminated body capable of rotating in a state where a first plate material is directed outdoors and in a state where a second plate material is directed outdoors. The laminated body uses at least one of solar heat, atmospheric heat, and atmospheric humidity, and provides a humidity control effect to the room in both of the state where the first plate material is directed outdoors and the state where the second plate material is directed outdoors. The laminated body is not limited to the one providing the humidity control effect, but may be the one providing a temperature control effect. The laminated body may use the concentration of a specific gas in the atmosphere such as atmospheric oxygen concentration, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, and atmospheric volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration, and may provide a component concentration adjusting effect to the room.

The present disclosure relates to an absorption cooling machine including an absorber, a first regenerator, a second regenerator, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator, and relates to a cooling machine that connects a bypass collection pipe that guides an absorbent flowing back into the second regenerator to be collected into an absorber to a second collection pipe, in order to prevent the water level of the second regenerator from being raised as the absorbent cannot be collected by the absorber and flows back to the second regenerator, due to the pressure difference between an absorbent separated from the first regenerator and collected into the absorber through the first collection pipe, and an absorbent separated from the second regenerator and collected into the absorber through the second collection pipe.

The application pertains to, for example, novel processes and systems for heat transfer, refrigeration, energy storage, and various cooling and heating processes. Such processes may include cooling or mixing various liquid-liquid phase transition liquids to release and/or energy. Additionally or alternatively, such processes may include charging and/or discharging thermal storage reservoirs with layered liquids of various temperatures.

The present invention provides an energy recovery, phase change storage and prime mover system with co-generation and cryogenic compression of the working fluid for distributed electric generation and motor vehicle application.

A projector includes a cooler configured to cool a cooling target based on transformation of a refrigerant into a gas. A refrigerant generator of the cooler includes a first blower configured to deliver air to a first portion of a moisture absorbing/discharging member, a first heat exchanger, a heater, a second blower, a circulation path along which the air exhausted from the second blower circulates, and a second heat exchanger provided in the circulation path. The circulation path has a first path along which air after passing through a second portion of the moisture absorbing/discharging member flows into the first heat exchanger and a second path along which air exhausted from the first heat exchanger is delivered to the second portion. The second heat exchanger exchanges heat between the air flowing along the first path and the air flowing along the second path.
