Abstract: A guide tube guides a cable of an internal observation device into a pipe bore. The cable is pushed into the pipe bore to force an observation image capturing part provided proximate a tip end of the cable to approach a portion to be observed when performing internal observation of the pipe bore of a pipe-like structure with the internal observation device.

Abstract: A double tube and the like includes: a cylindrical outer tube; a cylindrical inner tube including a helical protrusion in an outer circumferential surface, the inner tube being provided inside the outer tube; and a helical flow passage forming member that forms a helical flow passage inside the inner tube, the helical flow passage forming member being provided inside the inner tube.

Abstract: A gasification system includes a countercurrent type heat exchanger that includes a low-temperature side flow channel through which a gasification feedstock flows, and a high-temperature side flow channel to which treated water in a supercritical state is introduced. The treated water raises a temperature of the gasification feedstock by exchanging heat with the gasification feedstock. The system further includes a reactor that gasifies the gasification feedstock, whose temperature has been raised by the countercurrent type heat exchanger, by heating and pressurizing the gasification feedstock to be in a supercritical state. The reactor discharges the gasification feedstock as treated water in the supercritical state. The system further includes a treated water flow channel that introduces, to the countercurrent type heat exchanger, the treated water that has been discharged from the reactor, and a feedstock introduction port that introduces the feedstock to the low-temperature side flow channel.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes: a flow passage unit arranged with a plurality of planar flow passage bodies each arranged with two flow passages adjacent to each other in a same plane. The plurality of the planar flow passage bodies are layered in an intersecting direction that intersects with the plane. In two of the planar flow passage bodies adjacent in the intersecting direction of the plurality of the layered planar flow passage bodies, each one of two flow passage ports in both ends of each of the flow passages of one of the planar flow passage bodies is connected to each one of two flow passage ports in both ends of each of the flow passages of another of the planar flow passage bodies. A high-pressure pipe covers an outside of the flow passage unit.

Abstract: A gasification apparatus heats and pressurizes a gasification feedstock to bring the gasification feedstock into a supercritical state, and performs decomposition-treatment on the gasification feedstock to obtain fuel gas. The gasification apparatus includes a heat exchanger, a gas-liquid separator, and a synthesizer. The heat exchanger introduces the gasification feedstock into a low-temperature-side flow channel and introduces treated fluid in a supercritical state into a high-temperature-side flow channel, so that heat exchange is performed between the gasification feedstock and the treated fluid. The gas-liquid separator extracts, from the high-temperature-side flow channel, the treated fluid that has been in a subcritical state due to heat exchange, performs gas-liquid separation on the treated fluid, and returns a separated liquid to the high-temperature-side flow channel. The synthesizer synthesizes a liquid fuel from fuel gas separated by the gas-liquid separator.

Abstract: A heat exchange structure of a power generation facility including a piping system that is embedded in a reinforced concrete underground structure that is integrally formed with the power generation facility, and a heat medium that is fluid and is stored in the piping system. The piping system circulates the heat medium used for heat exchange in the power generation facility.

Abstract: An exhaust heat recovery apparatus includes an engine, a first cooler, a heat exchanger, and a first valve device. The first cooler contains a first cooling medium to cool a first mechanism of the engine. The first cooler exchanges heat between water at a first temperature from a warm water utilization facility and the first cooling medium to output water at a second temperature. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between the water at the second temperature and the exhaust gas from the engine to output water at a third temperature and supplies the water at the third temperature to the warm water utilization facility. The first valve device causes the water at the first temperature to be supplied to the heat exchanger when a temperature of the first cooling medium is lower than a temperature on a side of the first cooler.
