20100198415AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS - An air-conditioning apparatus includes first and second outdoor units having first and second outdoor heat exchangers and first and second heat source-side degree of subcooling adjustment devices configured to adjust first and second degrees of subcooling in outlet sides of the first and second outdoor heat exchangers, respectively. First and second outdoor-side determination units are configured to determine first and second degrees of subcooling, respectively. A controller is configured to control the first and second heat source-side degree of subcooling adjustment devices, respectively, such that a difference between the first degree of subcooling and the second degree of subcooling is reduced when refrigerant is charged into a refrigerant circuit having the first outdoor heat exchanger and the second outdoor heat exchanger.08-05-2010
20100293975AIR CONDITIONER - An air conditioner includes a compressor, first and second heat exchangers connected with high pressure piping, low pressure piping connecting the second heat exchanger to a compressor suction port, a pressure reducing mechanism arranged to reduce pressure in the high pressure piping, a bypass passageway, a vessel connected to the bypass passageway, and first and second opening/closing mechanisms. The first heat exchanger is connected to a compressor discharge port. The bypass passageway is arranged to divert refrigerant from the high pressure piping to the low pressure piping without passing through the second heat exchanger. The first opening/closing mechanism is arranged to open/close a first portion of the bypass passageway that connects the high pressure piping to the vessel. The second opening/closing mechanism is arranged to open/close a second portion of the bypass passageway that connects an upper part of the vessel to the low pressure piping.11-25-2010

20110253543ALUMINUM ELECTROPLATING SOLUTION AND METHOD FOR FORMING ALUMINUM PLATING FILM - An object of the present invention is to provide an extended-life plating solution that allows an aluminum electroplating process to be performed stably for a long period of time, and also a method for forming an aluminum plating film using the same. An aluminum electroplating solution according to the present invention as a means for achieving the object is characterized by comprising 1.5 to 4.0 mol of an aluminum halide per 10.0 mol of dimethyl sulfone and, relative to the aluminum halide, ammonium chloride in a molar ratio of 1/15 to 1/4 or a tetraalkylammonium chloride in a molar ratio of 1/15 to 1/2. The plating solution has improved electrical conductivity and thus has a further advantage in that it allows the formation of a uniform aluminum plating film on a substrate to be plated even when the plating process is performed by a barrel method.10-20-2011

20090301886Aluminum plated film, metallic member, and its fabrication method - A plating film is provided with enough hardness before anodic oxidation, which is hard to be damaged during handling, and also the production method of the plating film. This problem can be solved by an aluminum plating film with aluminum concentration of 98 wt. % or lower, and with a Vickers hardness of 250 or higher. Here, by containing oxygen, carbon, sulfur, and a halogen element as impurities, the hardness becomes higher. The impurity concentration is controlled by adjusting the current density, the plating temperature, or the plating bath composition.12-10-2009
