Disclosed herein is a diffuser module that can be used to air condition a space. The space may comprise the interior space(s) of buildings such as hospitals, enclosed shopping malls, warehouses, factories, etc. The module may comprise a body defining an interior chamber, the body having an upper end able to be connected to the air conditioning unit (AHU) and an opposing lower end. The module may also comprise a first channel disposed in the chamber for receiving a first air stream from the unit. The module may also comprise at least one diffuser connected to the lower end of the body, the at least one diffuser able to receive the first air stream from the first channel and discharge it to the space.

A refrigeration cycle device uses a refrigerant having a higher concentration than air under atmospheric pressure, and is capable of preventing a region having a certain refrigerant concentration or higher from being formed even if the refrigerant leaks in a casing of the refrigeration cycle device in a nonenergized state. The refrigeration cycle device includes: a casing having a first opening and a second opening, one of which is an inlet and the other of which is an outlet, and having therein an air course providing communication between the first opening and the second opening; and a refrigerant circuit provided in the air course in the casing and filled with a refrigerant having a higher concentration than air under atmospheric pressure, the casing having a third opening providing communication between the air course and outside of the casing.

A sleeping space air conditioner including a quiet low powered air conditioner 1, a sleeping space into which conditioned air is delivered, the sleeping space including an upper air pervious section 2 and a lower relatively air impervious section 3 surrounding a bed in the sleeping space, the impervious section 3 extending to a height above the sleeping surface of the bed sufficient to contain the conditioned air as it moves towards and returns from the opposite end or side of the sleeping space, the impervious section 3 extending to a sufficiently increased height above the sleeping surface at the opposite end or side to allow the direction of air flow to reverse towards said one end or side without substantial loss of conditioned air through the pervious section 2.

A wafer stocker capable of further improving an environment around wafers is provided. The wafer stocker includes a housing, a loading device provided on a front surface of the housing, a wafer cassette shelf arranged in the housing, a wafer transfer robot configured to move the wafers from a transfer container mounted on the loading device to a wafer cassette in the wafer cassette shelf, a wafer cassette delivery device configured to move the wafer cassette in the wafer cassette shelf to a stage having a different height, and a fan filter unit configured to generate a laminar flow in a wafer transfer space and in a wafer cassette transfer space.

A ventilation device 21 configured to be connected to a mouth of a ventilation duct 9 between the ventilation duct and an outside space. The ventilation device comprises an airflow opening 27 for passage of an airflow 30 between the ventilation device and the outside space. An air-permeable material 29 is arranged in the airflow opening 27.

A air cleaner includes a blowing device and a circulator movably disposed above the blowing device. The circulator includes a housing extending in a front-rear direction, a first inlet being formed in a rear portion of the housing and a first outlet being formed in a front portion of the housing, a circulation fan disposed in the housing to suction air through the first inlet and then discharge the air through the first outlet to a front of the housing, and a motor rotating the circulation fan. The first inlet is disposed above a second outlet of the blowing device inside an imaginary extension surface vertically extending an edge of the second outlet, and has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the second outlet, thus suctioning air discharged from the second outlet and increasing an intake ratio of clean air that undergoes a cleaning operation of the blowing device.

A novel and versatile vertical ventilation diffuser system to reduce transmission of airborne particles provides an harmful airborne particle nearly free indoor environment for one or multiple person to breathe, and to isolate and protect the personal space of a person by means of reducing the horizontal flow of air inside an enclosed space and transporting any possible harmful airborne particles, such as viruses, by means of a top down air flow. Thereby, a continuously clean environment is maintained by generating an air curtain around each person by means of a vertical ventilation diffuser system, which may be custom designed and sized for multiple types of suspended ceilings, or in standard sizes, with particular application in office, school, restaurant or concert hall settings. The versatile vertical ventilation diffuser system may further be implemented in a matrix configuration to promote the use of multiple users in a single indoor space.

A refrigerator and a dehumidification control method thereof to effectively perform both temperature compensation and dehumidification so as to prevent formation of dewdrops in a refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator. The control method includes detecting a temperature of outside air around the refrigerator to judge whether or not the detected temperature corresponds to a low-temperature mode requiring dehumidification, heating a refrigerating compartment by operating a refrigerating compartment heater and a refrigerating compartment fan for dehumidification if the low-temperature mode is judged, cooling the refrigerating compartment by operating a compressor while continuously operating the refrigerating compartment fan, and simultaneously cooling and heating the refrigerating compartment to enable simultaneous implementation of temperature compensation by heating of the refrigerating compartment and dehumidification by cooling of the refrigerating compartment.
