Construction Machine
To provide a construction machine capable of reducing the time and labor of an operator and reliably preventing deterioration of cooling efficiency of a heat exchanger unit. A construction machine includes a heat exchanger unit having a plurality of heat exchangers, a cooling fan configured to supply cooling air to the heat exchanger unit during a forward rotation thereof, a controller configured to control an operation of the cooling fan, a timer configured to count an operation time period of forward rotation of the cooling fan, and a reverse rotation signal output switch configured to output to the controller a reverse rotation signal for causing the cooling fan to rotate in the reverse direction in response to an applied manual operation. The controller causes the cooling fan to rotate in the reverse direction for a second predetermined time period and resets the timer at the time of finishing the reverse rotation of the cooling fan, if the operation time period of forward rotation counted by the timer reaches a first predetermined time period, and controller causes the cooling fan to rotate in the reverse direction for the second predetermined time period when the reverse rotation signal is output from the reverse rotation signal output switch, and resets the timer at the time of finishing the reverse rotation of the cooling fan, even if the operation time period of forward rotation counted by the timer has not reached the first predetermined time period.
INTEGRATED COOLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTION REFRIGERATION UNIT
An integrated cooling system and method for a transportation refrigeration system including: a heat rejection heat exchanger; a subcooler comprising a plurality of flow paths, the subcooler operably coupled to the first rejection heat exchanger; and a heat transfer apparatus comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is operably coupled to at least one of the plurality of flow paths and the second portion is operably coupled to a heat source.
IN-VEHICLE-CABIN STORAGE DEVICE
An in-vehicle-cabin storage device includes an exhaust device having a duct, and the duct provides communication between the inside of a storage part and the outside of a vehicle cabin. When the atmospheric pressure inside the storage part is higher than the atmospheric pressure outside the vehicle cabin, the exhaust device secures ventilation from the inside of the storage part to the outside of the vehicle cabin.
IN-VEHICLE COMPUTER, HEAT DISSIPATING SYSTEM THEREOF, AND VEHICLE WITH THE IN-VEHICLE COMPUTER
An in-vehicle computer includes a computer casing, an electronic component, a fan, and an air duct. The electronic component and the fan are disposed inside the computer casing. An air inlet of the air duct is located outside the computer casing, and an air outlet thereof is toward or connected to the fan. The fan can generate an airflow for dissipating heat from the electronic component. Therein, the computer casing, the fan, and the air duct therefore form a heat dissipating system. A vehicle includes a vehicle cage and the in-vehicle computer. The in-vehicle computer is disposed inside the vehicle cage. The air inlet of the air duct communicates with the interior space of the vehicle cage, so that when the air conditioner of the vehicle is turned on, the fan can draw the cold air from the cockpit space for enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device for a vehicle includes: an irradiation unit configured to irradiate a display light for an occupant of the vehicle to display an image; and a storage unit housing the irradiation unit so as to expose a display screen to which the display light is irradiated. The storage unit has an air intake port to take in air and an air discharge port to discharge the air. The display device includes a confluence portion configured to merge a first exhaust air discharged from the air discharge port and a second exhaust air discharged from an air conditioner for a cabin of the vehicle through an air outlet arranged in the cabin. The confluence portion is defined such that a first flow direction of the first exhaust air and a second flow direction of the second exhaust air coincide with each other.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
An air conditioning system for a vehicle. The air conditioning system includes a cooling line adapted to transport a coolant fluid and a first heat-exchanging arrangement connected to the cooling line. The air conditioning system includes a first liquid container being arranged to hold a first liquid heat exchange medium and the first heat-exchanging arrangement is arranged inside the first liquid container for exchanging heat between the coolant fluid and the first liquid heat exchange medium.
INTEGRATED THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR FUEL CELL MOBILITY VEHICLES
An integrated thermal management system for fuel cell mobility vehicles, may include a hydrogen tank configured to store hydrogen supplied to a fuel cell stack, a first turbine rotated by the pressure of the hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen tank, a refrigerant circulation line configured such that a refrigerant circulates therealong and a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator are provided thereon, a second turbine mounted in the refrigerant circulation line and rotated by the high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor, and a blower configured to pressurize ambient air using the rotation force of the first turbine, the second turbine or an electric motor and to supply the pressurized ambient air to an indoor air conditioning unit or the fuel cell stack.
