  • Publication number: 20190057810
    Abstract: Provided is a reactor that can prevent a temperature sensor from being attached to a wound portion of a coil in a wrong direction. The reactor includes a temperature sensor having a sensor main portion attached to an outer peripheral surface of a wound portion and a wire extending from the sensor main portion. A sensor housing portion houses the sensor main portion. The sensor main portion has a detection surface facing the wound portion and a projecting portion protruding from a back surface of the sensor main portion opposite of the detection surface. The sensor housing portion has a pair of side wall portions opposing respective side surfaces of the sensor main portion. A height of a portion of the sensor main portion that has the projecting portion is larger than a width of that portion and larger than the distance between the side wall portions.

  • Publication number: 20150298044
    Abstract: In a CO2 absorption tower in which a CO2 sorbent is placed, a decrease in CO2 sorption amount due to an increase in temperature in the absorption tower because of the CO2 sorption reaction heat is prevented. In a CO2 capture and separation system, which captures and separates CO2 from a CO2-containing gas, two or more different types of CO2 sorbents are placed in an absorption tower.

  • Publication number: 20140165058
    Abstract: Specifically, a service menu is set for each user ID to determine an information distribution range/distribution amount according to the service menu. Finally, “vendor lock-in” of an infrastructure (hardware, software) is a typical alternative to be adopted to provide high-quality service at low cost. Pieces of information obtained for each product are temporarily collected, are categorized at the same level into pieces of information for respective purposes (screens), and then are provided for users. This achieves proper capacity planning.
