AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM, AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL DEVICE, AIR CONDITIONER METHOD, AND PROGRAM
An air-conditioning system includes a heat source unit, an air conditioner connected via piping to the heat source unit and configured to perform heat exchange between water supplied by the heat source unit and indoor air, a water circulation device for circulating the water between the heat source unit and the air conditioner, and an air-conditioning control device. The air-conditioning control device controls the heat source unit to lower temperature of the water flowing into the air conditioner, in accordance with an increase in an indoor humidity, and controls the water circulation device to lower temperature of the water flowing from the air conditioner back to the heat source unit, in accordance with an increase in an indoor temperature.
HVAC UNIT WITH HOT GAS REHEAT
The present disclosure is directed to a single compressor HVAC system with hot gas reheat. The system includes a single compressor, a pair of condensers, a reheat heat exchanger, an evaporator, and an expansion device. Within the system, the refrigerant exiting the compressor is separated into two portions. In the cooling mode, the first and second portions of the refrigerant are directed from the compressor through the two condensers in parallel. In the reheat mode, the first portion of the refrigerant is directed through the first condenser, while the second portion of the refrigerant is directed through the reheat heat exchanger. The system also may include a head pressure control device that is designed to maintain the compressor discharge pressure within a desired range by adjusting the condenser fan speed.
Air conditioner
In an air conditioner, an upper heat exchanger and a lower heat exchanger exchange heat between air and a refrigerant. An air cleaner includes a charging unit for charging particles in the air and a dust collecting unit for collecting the particles charged by the charging unit by an electrostatic force. An indoor unit body houses the upper heat exchanger and the lower heat exchanger and houses the air cleaner of which the center position in the height direction is positioned lower than a connection part between the upper heat exchanger and the lower heat exchanger.

Low-drag, high-efficiency microchannel polymer heat exchangers
The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that provides a polymer heat exchanger with internal microscale flow passages. The system includes a set of plates comprised of a polymer that includes internal microscale flow passages, which are configured to carry a liquid. The set of plates is organized into a stack, wherein consecutive plates in the stack are separated by fins to form intervening air passages. The system includes a liquid flow pathway, which flows from a liquid inlet, through the internal microscale flow passages in the stack of plates, to a liquid outlet. It also includes an airflow pathway, which flows from an airflow inlet, through the intervening air passages between the consecutive plates in the stack of plates, to an airflow outlet. The liquid flow pathway flows in a direction opposite to a direction of the airflow pathway to provide a counterflow design that optimizes heat transfer between the liquid flow pathway and the airflow pathway.
BLOWER DEVICE FOR DELIVERING AN AMPLIFIED RATE AIR FLOW AND MODULAR COOLING UNIT
A blower device includes a Coanda effect fluid flow amplifier having a suction opening, an outlet opening to provide an amplified fluid flow, an inner passage along an amplifier central axis passing through the suction opening and the outlet opening. An inlet conduit inputs pressurized fluid into the inner passage for drawing the ambient fluid from the suction opening to the outlet opening by Coanda effect, achieving amplified flow. A diffuser downstream of the amplifier includes diffuser side walls that delimit a diffuser inner side surface extending about a diffuser central axis arranged along the amplifier central axis and terminates with a first flow inlet open end facing the outlet opening, and an opposite second flow outlet open end delivers further amplified fluid flow. At least one side opening is upstream of the second flow outlet open end to allow additional ambient fluid to be sucked into the diffuser.

Continuously variable chiller and control systems, methods, and apparatuses
A variable capacity chiller or hydronic heat pump with a compressor, a pump, and a condenser fan where system capacity is controlled by the speed of the compressor, pump, and/or condenser fan based on the flow rate and ?T between the returning water temperature and leaving water temperature, where the compressor, pump, and fan adjust automatically to match the changing load conditions to match the capacity to the load, and which includes a psychrometric climate controller that manages a chiller or chiller heat pump to heat or cool a heat transfer fluid in communication with indoor heat exchanger(s) and where the setting for the entering or leaving heat transfer fluid temperature can be automatically varied based on psychrometric data or on information derived from such sensors, and when in heating mode, to dynamically manage an external backup resistance heat source to accurately match any shortfall of heating capacity.
Energy transfer system (ETS)
Transfer of heat energy from within a building to the outside air by means of fans, heat pipes and circulating water in a closed loop system.
