  • Publication number: 20230022473
    Abstract: A fuel control device includes a combustion temperature estimation value calculation unit that calculates a temperature estimation value when a mixture of fuel and inflow air is burned using an atmospheric condition, an opening degree command value of a valve that controls the amount of air that is mixed with the fuel and burned, and an output prediction value calculated on the basis of a fuel control signal command value used for calculation of a total fuel flow rate flowing through a plurality of fuel supply systems, a fuel distribution command value calculation unit that calculates a fuel distribution command value indicating a distribution of fuel output from the fuel supply systems based on the temperature estimation value, and outputs the fuel distribution command value, and a valve opening degree calculation unit that calculates each valve opening degree of a fuel flow rate control valve of the fuel supply systems.

  • Patent number: 11441452
    Abstract: A heat exchange system includes: a gas line through which a gas to be cooled flows; a first heat exchanger disposed in the gas line and configured to cool the gas through heat exchange with a refrigerant; a refrigerant introduction line for introducing the refrigerant into the first heat exchanger; a refrigerant discharge line for discharging the refrigerant after cooling the gas from the first heat exchanger; a recirculation line for recirculating at least a part of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant discharge line into the refrigerant introduction line; and a flow-rate adjustment unit for adjusting a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the recirculation line so that a temperature of the refrigerant introduced into the first heat exchanger from the refrigerant introduction line is not lower than a threshold.
