Abstract:
Disclosed is a steam power cycle device wherein a part of a working fluid in a high-temperature liquid phase separated from a gas phase by a gas-liquid separator is mixed with a working fluid in a high-temperature gas phase extracted from an expansion machine, and is heat-exchanged with a working fluid in a low-temperature liquid phase discharged from a condenser, so that the heat stored in the working fluid can be efficiently recovered, and the heat efficiency of an entire cycle can be improved. A part of a working fluid in a high-temperature liquid phase separated from a gas phase by a gas-liquid separator (11) is extracted, and is mixed with a working fluid in a high-temperature gas phase extracted from between the stages of an expansion machine (12) at a second absorber (17), so that a part of the working fluid in the gas phase is absorbed by the working fluid in the liquid phase, and the high-temperature working fluids are used to heat the working fluid in the low-temperature liquid phase at a first heater (18). The extracted working fluid in the high-temperature liquid phase is not passed through the condenser (13) and, accordingly, the heat exchange at the condenser (13) is reduced to reduce the load of the condenser (13), and the heat stored in the working fluid in the high-temperature liquid phase can be appropriately recovered by being heat-exchanged with a working fluid passing toward an evaporator. Thus, the heat efficiency of the entire cycle can be improved.

Abstract:
An ink jet recording head unit for performing a recording operation by discharging ink is desclosed. The ink jet recording head unit includes an ink jet head portion having an ink passage communicated with a discharge port for discharging ink and a substrate having an energy generating element for causing energy for discharging ink to act on ink present in the ink passage, the ink being supplied through an ink receiving port of a connecting portion; and an ink supply member having a connecting portion to be connected to the ink jet head portion so as to supply ink to the ink jet head portion via the connecting portion. At least one of the connecting portion of the ink jet head portion and the connecting portion of the ink supply member has a projection portion at a position at which it comes in contact with the corresponding connection port so that one connecting portion is respectively connected to a corresponding connecting portion by deforming and bringing the projection portion into contact with the connecting portions.
Abstract:
A plate type heat exchanger arranged so that heat exchange is effected between fluids through heat transfer plates. It comprises heat transfer plates serving as heat transfer elements, and jet plates each having a number of small holes. One fluid is jetted through the small holes in the jet plates towards the heat transfer plates opposed to the jet plates while the other fluid flows along the respective opposite heat transfer surfaces of the heat-transfer plates or is jetted toward the respective opposite heat transfer surfaces as in the case of the first fluid.
Abstract:
An activated carbon manufacturing system can efficiently heat a wood material or carbide to promote a drying process, a carbonization process and an activation process in manufacturing activated carbon, and can reduce the environmental load involved in the manufacture of activated carbon. Specifically, a drying process of a wood material is achieved by heating the wood material with saturated steam at an appropriate temperature, and an initial carbonization process of the wood material is achieved by heating the wood material with superheated steam. Therefore, the wood material can be heated with high heat transfer efficiency, so that the heat loss can be reduced, and neither a drying device nor a first carbonizing device produces a gas containing a harmful constituent in the heating processes, so that the adverse effect on the environment can be reduced.
Abstract:
A vapor power cycle apparatus that mixes part of high-temperature liquid-phase working fluid separated from a liquid-phase portion in a gas/liquid separator with high-temperature gas-phase working fluid extracted from a expander and allows the fluid to exchange heat with low-temperature liquid-phase working fluid from a condenser so as to efficiently recover the heat of working fluid and improve thermal efficiency of the entire cycle. The part of high-temperature liquid-phase working fluid separated from the liquid-phase portion in the gas/liquid separator is extracted, the resultant fluid is mixed in a second absorber with high-temperature gas-phase working fluid extracted from an interstage point in the expander to allow liquid-phase working fluid to absorb part of gas-phase working fluid and the high-temperature working fluid is used to heat low-temperature liquid-phase working fluid in a first heater without passing an extracted portion of high-temperature liquid-phase working fluid through a condenser.

Abstract:
Provided is a pure liquid manufacturing apparatus capable of manufacturing pure liquid such as pure water efficiently. Together with a series of units, from a heating unit to a condensation unit, for obtaining pure liquid from vapor, a drain tank unit for storing liquid is disposed, after the liquid discharged from the vaporization unit and the separation unit and new liquid are mixed in advance in the drain tank unit, the mixed liquid is pressurized by a pump unit and supplied to the heating unit. Consequently, the drain tank unit serves as a buffer for pressure, thus making it possible to maintain easily the pressure in the respective units such as the vaporization unit, etc., and reduce load of a vacuum exhaust unit to ensure a reduced pressure state, and dispose the required minimum valves for maintaining the pressure, thereby achieving the simplification of the apparatus structure.
