An air-conditioner outdoor unit and a control method for a fan (100) of an air-conditioner outdoor unit; the air-conditioner outdoor unit of the present invention comprises a fan (100) and a deflector ring (200) that is sleeved on the outside of a vane (110) of the fan (100); further comprised are a vane stopping device (300), a wind speed measuring device (400), and a control system. The vane stopping device (300) is disposed on the deflector ring (200), is connected to the control system, and may cause a vane (110) that is passively rotating to stop rotating; the wind speed measuring device (400) is connected to the control system, and is used for detecting the wind speed flowing through the vane (110), the wind speed comprising a wind speed value and a wind speed direction; the control system controls the vane stopping device (300) to start and shut down according to the wind speed that is detected by the wind speed measuring device (400), and controls actual start-up frequency of the fan (100) according to the wind speed that is detected by the wind speed measuring device (400). The air-conditioner outdoor unit and the control method for the fan (100) of the air-conditioner outdoor unit may compensate the rotational speed of the fan (100), and ensure the start-up success rate of the fan (100).

A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a condenser section and a plurality of panels configured to abut one another in a common plane to form a divider panel assembly. Each panel of the plurality of panels is sequentially insertable into and removable from the condenser section.

A heat exchange section includes a first air heat exchanger having three vertical side surfaces through which air passes, the three side surfaces being arranged in a substantially U shape when viewed in plan, and a second air heat exchanger which is formed in a substantially flat plate shape, arranged obliquely to be away from an open surface of the first air heat exchanger toward a top end thereof, and has a single sloping surface through which the air passes.

An outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus includes a fan chamber, a machine chamber, a partition plate, and an electrical component unit. The partition plate is provided, in its upper part, with a planar receiving surface portion for receiving a holder. The holder is provided with a positioning protrusion protruding downward. A cutout portion into which the positioning protrusion is inserted is formed in the receiving surface portion. At least one inclined surface portion that is inclined downward from the receiving surface portion and guides the positioning protrusion to the cutout portion is provided at an end portion of the receiving surface portion that leads to the cutout portion.

A modular process chiller and method of manufacturing a modular process chiller. A pump and tank are positioned in a fluid module configured for receiving fluids from an external source. A refrigeration module comprises a condenser arranged diagonally with a heat exchanger on one side and a fan on the opposite side, wherein the heat exchanger is in cool air flow and air is pulled through the condenser. Nonpermeable and air permeable panels are positioned to direct airflow through the refrigeration module. An electronics module is coupled to the refrigeration module in a configuration to provide user access. In processing systems, a process chiller is selectively configured for positioning proximate a process machine but configured for receiving fluid from external sources and maintaining a fluid temperature, flow rate and fluid pressure independent of the positioning.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a condenser, a pressure reducing device, and an evaporator connected by a refrigerant pipe. A refrigerant including a refrigerant having flammability is used as refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circuit. The evaporator and the pressure reducing device are accommodated in a unit. The evaporator is disposed in the unit in such a manner that a linear distance between a refrigerant inlet of the evaporator and a refrigerant outlet of the pressure reducing device is shorter than a linear distance between a refrigerant outlet of the evaporator and the refrigerant outlet of the pressure reducing device.
