    摘要: An air-conditioning ventilation system includes a ventilation device configured to ventilate an air-conditioned space while controlling a ventilation rate, an air-conditioning apparatus that includes a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between refrigerant and air and that is configured to operate while controlling an air-conditioning capacity thereof to bring an indoor temperature in the air-conditioned space to a setting temperature, and a controller. The controller performs normal control that causes the ventilation device to operate to ventilate the air-conditioned space at a ventilation rate corresponding to the air-conditioning capacity of the air-conditioning apparatus, and recovery control that controls the ventilation rate of the ventilation device such that an integrated value of an amount of ventilation for a time duration from activation of the ventilation device under the normal control falls within a standard ventilation range including a standard integrated value of an amount of ventilation obtained by causing the ventilation device to operate to ventilate the air-conditioned space at a standard ventilation rate for a time duration having a same length as the time duration.

    摘要: A refrigeration apparatus is equipped with a heat source unit, a cooling unit, a low-pressure gas tube, and a bypass circuit. In the heat source unit, a compressor, a condenser, and a tube are housed. The compressor has a variable operating capacity, and sucks, compresses, and discharges refrigerant. The condenser condenses the refrigerant compressed by the compressor. The tube connects the compressor with the condenser. In the cooling unit, an expansion valve and a cooler are housed. The expansion valve decompresses the refrigerant condensed by the condenser. The cooler evaporates the refrigerant decompressed by the expansion valve. The low-pressure gas tube connects the cooler with the compressor. The bypass circuit connects the tube located in the heat source unit with the low-pressure gas tube located in the cooling unit.

    摘要: A refrigerating apparatus includes: a refrigerating circuit in which a refrigerant that is discharged from a compressor is conveyed under pressure sequentially to a first flow rate controlling apparatus, a heat storing tank, a condenser, a first decompressing apparatus, and an evaporator, and is recycled to the compressor; a defrosting circuit in which the refrigerant that is discharged from the compressor is conveyed under pressure sequentially to the first flow rate controlling apparatus, the heat storing tank, the first decompressing apparatus, and the evaporator, and is recycled to the compressor; and a flow channel switching apparatus that connects an outlet side of the heat storing tank to an inlet side of the condenser or to an inlet side of the first decompressing apparatus to form the refrigerating circuit or the defrosting circuit.
