Air-conditioning apparatus and air-conditioning system
An air-conditioning apparatus includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit that include devices and a pipe constituting a refrigerant circuit and a remote control connected to the indoor unit. Each of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit includes a sensor configured to detect temperature states of the devices and the pipe. The outdoor unit or the indoor unit includes a memory configured to hold sensor information indicating a result of the detection by the sensor and control information indicating control states of the devices. The remote control includes a microcomputer configured to receive information indicating states of sections based on the sensor information and the control information, output an estimated cause of trouble as output values, and compute a value corresponding to a possibility of being cause of trouble by using a neural network, and a display unit configured to display a result.
AIR CONDITIONER
In an air conditioner of the present embodiment capable of selecting either a fan rotation speed determined on the basis of a static pressure value and an air volume or a required fan rotation speed, motor control means determines, on the basis of the static pressure Pt, the fan rotation speed Rm of a fan motor that provides the air volume Av required by the user, and transmits the determined fan rotation speed Rm to an indoor unit control means. When the fan rotation speed Rm received from the motor control means is a prohibited rotation speed, the indoor unit control means transmits a correction fan rotation speed different from the prohibited rotation speed to the motor control means, and the motor control means drives the fan motor at the received correction fan rotation speed.

The throttle device is arranged at a pipe between a cold storage box of the air conditioner and a condenser of the air conditioner.
Building ventilation apparatus and method
A ventilation system with: (i) a volumetric enclosure having an inlet and an outlet and for coupling to an interior of a building habitable by human occupants; (ii) a fan located within the volumetric enclosure and for drawing air exterior to the building and supplying the air to the interior of the building; (iii) a programmable control apparatus for enabling and disabling the fan in response to a plurality of parameters, at least some of the parameters relating to quality of air to me moved in response to the fan; and (iv) circuitry coupled between the inlet and the outlet for measuring a signal representative of a volume of air passing through the volumetric enclosure over a period of time.
Pulsing adiabatic gas cooler
A method by a controller of a cooling system includes calculating a difference between a first temperature of ambient air and a second temperature of pre-cooled air. The pre-cooled air is ambient air that has been cooled by water from a water distribution system before it enters one or more condenser coils. The method further includes determining that the difference between the first and second temperatures is less than or equal to a predetermined temperature difference, and in response, determining that the first temperature is greater than or equal to a minimum temperature. The method further includes, if the first temperature is greater than or equal to the minimum temperature, instructing the water distribution system to distribute the water to pre-cool the ambient air for a predetermined length of time and to disable the distribution of the water after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed.

A first condenser fan and a second condenser fan that push air over the condenser coil. A controller that receives a signal indicative of an ambient air temperature, a signal indicative of an operational status of the first compressor, and a signal indicative of an operational status of the second compressor. The controller controls operation of the first condenser fan and the second condenser fan in response to the signal indicative of the ambient air temperature, the signal indicative of the operational status of the first compressor and the signal indicative of the operational status of the second compressor.
Adjustable heat exchanger
A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, includes a housing configured to direct an air flow through an air flow path of the housing and an evaporator configured to translate between a first position and a second position, such that the evaporator is disposed within the air flow path in the first position and the evaporator is disposed external to the air flow path in the second position.
Air-conditioning control apparatus, air-conditioning control method, and computer readable medium
An air-conditioning method suitable for reducing energy consumption is selected. A comparison unit 105 compares first operating efficiency, which is operating efficiency when only first air conditioning is performed, with second operating efficiency, which is operating efficiency when only second air conditioning is performed. The first air conditioning is air conditioning in an air-conditioning target space by an air conditioner, and the second air conditioning is air conditioning in the air-conditioning target space by supplying outdoor air without adjusting a temperature of the outdoor air to the air-conditioning target space. A decision unit 106 decides whether to perform the first air conditioning and whether to perform the second air conditioning, based on a result of comparison between the first operating efficiency and the second operating efficiency by the comparison unit 105.
