    Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus includes a container such as an evaporator for holding refrigerant, and a compressor for compressing refrigerant vapor. The compressed vapor is returned to the container, and stored as liquid. The liquid refrigerant is withdrawn from the container and then returned to the container via a first path through a heat exchanger for cooling a space, or a second path that does not pass through the heat exchanger. Upon returning to the container, the liquid refrigerant is at least partly evaporated due to the reduced pressure in the container caused by the operation of the compressor, and the container is cooled by the latent heat of evaporation. Thus, the container can act as a cold storage unit. The cold storage effect is increased when the refrigerant is returned to the container via the second path.

    Abstract: A turbo machine according to the present disclosure includes a rotating shaft, an impeller, a first bearing, and a first supply passage. The rotating shaft includes a first taper portion and a first cylindrical portion. The first bearing includes a first taper support surface and a first cylindrical portion support surface, the first taper support surface including a first taper hole forming surface and rotatably supporting the first taper portion, the first cylindrical portion support surface rotatably supporting the first cylindrical portion. The first supply passage is open to a space formed between the first cylindrical portion and first cylindrical portion support surface. An inclination angle of the first taper hole forming surface with respect to the axial direction of the first bearing is greater than an inclination angle of an outer surface of the first taper portion with respect to the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

    Abstract: A gas turbine system (1A) includes a gas turbine unit (2) and a cooling fluid generator (5). The gas turbine unit (2) includes a first compressor (21) and a first expansion turbine (23) coupled to each other by a first shaft (22), a combustor (26), and a fuel tank (30). A fuel held in the fuel tank (30) circulates through a fuel circulation passage (31). A working fluid that has a pressure increased by the first compressor (1) is extracted from the gas turbine unit (2). The cooling fluid generator (5) includes a cooler (55) for cooling, with the fuel flowing through the fuel circulation passage (31), the working fluid that has been extracted from the gas turbine unit (2), and a second expansion turbine (53) for expanding the working fluid that has flowed out of the cooler (55).
