Abstract: A glow plug including a coil housed in a tube. The coil includes a heating coil made of an Ni—Cr alloy disposed on a front end side, and a control coil connected to a rear end side of the heating coil. The coil has a normal temperature resistance value of 300 m? to 500 m?. The accumulated amount of heat generated by the heating coil for two seconds from the start of energization is 400 joules or less. The ratio of an inrush current value at the start of energization to a current value two seconds after the start of energization is 1.2 or higher. The control coil has a temperature resistance coefficient of five or higher and a resistance value of 25 m? or higher at a portion between a front end of the control coil and L/2, where L is the length of the control coil.

Abstract: A screw rotor for fluid handling devices configured to reduce the area of blowholes virtually without relationship to the length of the sealing line by selecting specific profile shapes of the addendum of the female rotor and the dedendum on male rotor. Further, the screw rotor configuration eliminates semi-occluded pockets forming between the addendum of the female rotor and the dedendum of the male rotor.

Abstract: A screw compressor has a male rotor and female rotor rotatably engaging each other in a casing. The male rotor has a radius R and Z-number of helical convex teeth, each of which is chamfered on a leading edge of an end facing the discharge end of casing to allow lubricating liquid to escape from a space between rotor teeth during discharge stages of operation. This prevents drastic increases in pressure upon the bearings due to a liquid compression phenomenon. Thrust forces produced by the liquid against a flat chamfer surface prevent scoring of the edges of the rotors and thus permit designs with narrow gaps between the rotors and the casing to improve the efficiency of the compressor.

Abstract: A latent heat storage apparatus is provided and a latent heat storage solution therefor stores and retrieves a cool heat substantially in or from a latent heat thereof necessary for air conditioning, cooling, refrigerating, and so forth. The latent heat storage apparatus has an aqueous solution of a plurality of inorganic salts as a latent heat storage solution in a heat storage tank, formed to retrieve a cold heat from a stored latent heat, the latent heat storage apparatus. The latent heat storage solution is formed of (N-1) kinds of inorganic salts in at least an N-component aqueous solution where N.gtoreq.3. The latent heat storage solution stores the cold heat as the latent heat thereof. The cold heat is retrievable from the stored latent heat at a desired temperature almost invariably within a range higher than the N-component eutectic point and lower than any one of binary eutectic points of salts with water.

Abstract: A jet stream injection device for use in a heat exchanger of a fluidized-bed type in which a flat jet stream is injected toward a heat transmission coil of the heat exchanger from below this coil so that is runs along said cell so as to form a mixed-phase flow of a gas and solid particles around the heat transmission coil. The jet stream injection device has a net with meshes smaller than the size of the particles of a fluidized bed provided over an opening provided on the upstream side of a jet stream generating slit-shaped injection port element. The opening has a larger passage sectional area than the injection port element.

Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus for refrigerating an object comprising a cooler and a transfer belt for transferring said object on said cooler, said cooler being contacted with said transfer belt directly or through a slidable layer or powder. Said slidable layer or powder consists of a heat-conducting and slidable substance.

Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus comprising a refrigerating cycle into which a screw compressor is incorporated, and a liquid super cooler connected on the way of a liquid pipe of said refrigerating cycle, said screw compressor having a gas intake and/or liquid coolant injection opening which is located at a position where the screw blades of the screw compressor have at least partially compressed the gas in the screw compressor.
