A compressor module, as a component of a refrigerant cycle device, is attached to a casing that houses a refrigeration cycle device. The compressor module includes a compressor that compresses refrigerant, a supporting member that supports the compressor, a vibration-reducing rubber body that is attached to the supporting member, ancillary equipment that is added to the compressor, a base supporting the supporting member via the vibration-reducing rubber body and supporting the ancillary equipment with a portion of the base other than the portion supporting the supporting member.

An air handling system (1) for a land transport vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle (M) is disclosed. The system includes: one or more air handling units (2) distributed within the vehicle (M); a cooling machine (4) that supplies frigories to the air handling units; and a frigories storage unit (8) that is capable of being loaded by the cooling machine and of supplying frigories to the air handling units when the vehicle is travelling in an enclosed or partially enclosed space. When the vehicle (M) is travelling in the open air, the cooling machine (4) supplies frigories to the air handling units (2) and loads the frigories storage unit (8) if a surplus of frigories is produced, by discharging into the exterior of the vehicle (M) the heat extracted from an interior volume of the vehicle.

A boss fitted to a rotation shaft of a motor is placed on a bearing surface. An airflow producing unit includes blades protruding from the boss in a radial direction of the shaft and rotating with the boss. The boss includes a first end surface to contact the bearing surface when fitted to the shaft with a first end of the boss in a thickness direction facing the bearing surface, and a second end surface to contact the bearing surface when fitted to the shaft with a second end of the boss in the thickness direction facing the bearing surface. A degree of symmetry defined by A/B falls within a range of 1.0 to 1.3, where A is a height of the airflow producing unit from the first end surface, B is a height of the airflow producing unit from the second end surface, and A B.

A valve for controlling a fluid flow includes a valve body, a shutter component configured to be able to transition from an open position allowing the circulation of fluid, to a closed position preventing the circulation of fluid. The component is characterized in that it includes a fixed conical support integral with the valve body, a conjugate conical flap rotationally movable relative to the fixed support, and fluid passage apertures respectively arranged in the conical flap and in the fixed support, and an actuator of the shutter component adapted to be able to control the position of the shutter component.

A controller performs a prior determination by determining whether air cooling of a passenger compartment by free cooling control is possible based on a target value of a temperature in the passenger compartment that is set in advance, an outdoor air temperature, and an indoor temperature. The controller also performs a free cooling execution determination by determining whether to perform the free cooling control by comparing (i) a free cooling performance value that depends on a temperature difference between the outdoor air temperature and the indoor temperature and indicates a capacity of air cooling by the free cooling control, and (ii) an indoor heat load value that depends on a vehicle occupancy rate of passengers in the passenger compartment and indicates a difficulty of a temperature decrease in the passenger compartment.

A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes a refrigeration cycle that performs air-conditioning in a vehicle interior of a vehicle; a controller that includes a plurality of operation modes with different continuous operation times for a compressor, and that selects one operation mode from among the plurality of operation modes according to an air-conditioning load in the vehicle interior and executes the one operation mode, during travel operation of the vehicle; a storage unit; and a fault diagnosis unit. The fault diagnosis unit performs, during travel operation of the vehicle, fault diagnosis for the refrigeration cycle, after the high-load operation mode from among the plurality of operation modes, in which the continuous operation time is equal to or longer than a time that is set in advance is selected and executed by the controller at the timing stored in advance in the storage unit and while the refrigeration cycle is stable.

A plurality of apparatuses mounted on cars are monitored and controlled by control devices mounted on the cars. A display device capable of displaying apparatus information of the apparatuses is mounted on a driver's cab. A display screen of the display device is configured by arranging a plurality of display components by which apparatus information of each of the apparatuses can be displayed. A software generating device determines arrangement positions of the display components arranged on the display screen, automatically generates layout design data of the display screen, and automatically generates software for generating the display screen on the basis of the layout design data. The arrangement positions of the display components respectively representing the apparatuses when a number of apparatuses of the same type are monitored and controlled by one and the same control device are determined according to arrangement rule information that is exceptional rules.

Provided are an air conditioner platform structure and a vehicle having the same. The air condition platform structure comprises a platform main body for mounting an air conditioner, the platform main body comprises a plurality of beam bodies, and the plurality of beam bodies are spliced in sequence in a circumferential direction along the platform main body to form a frame structure for supporting the air conditioner.

A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes: an indoor heat exchanger that evaporates a refrigerant; a cooperative device group that forms, with the indoor heat exchanger, a refrigeration cycle; a waste heat recovery part that recovers waste heat from a waste heat source and a heat-release part that releases, to an indoor heat exchanger, heat transmitted to the heat-release part, and that is switchable between (a) a heat-releasing state in which the waste heat recovered by the waste heat recovery part is transmitted to the heat-release part, and (b) a heat-release-stopped state in which the heat recovered by the waste heat recovery part is less transmittable than when in the heat-releasing state; and a controller to switch between (i) a heat-release-stopped state when the refrigerant is being exchanged between the indoor heat exchanger and the cooperative device group, and (ii) a heat-releasing state when the exchange of the refrigerant is stopped.

A car air-conditioning duct guides air to a suction side of an air conditioner mounted on a car or guides the air flowing from a blow-off side of the air conditioner. The car air-conditioning duct includes a duct wall having a tubular shape and forming a duct outer surface and a duct inner surface. The duct wall is made of a composite foamed resin material containing polystyrene resin and polyolefin resin.
