  • Publication number: 20240153656
    Abstract: To provide an electrical penetration capable of being used in nuclear power plants which are designed assuming operation under conditions of the severe accident. An electrical penetration includes: a tubular sleeve member 10; two or more insulating seal members 20A and 20B arranged inside the sleeve member 10 so as to be spaced from each other; wiring members 60, 60 disposed along the longitudinal direction of the sleeve member 10 so as to extend across two insulating seal members of the two or more insulating seal members 20A and 20B; and outer seal members provided inside the sleeve member 10 and at the outermost portions of the two insulating seal members 20A and 20B. The wiring members 60, 60 are each covered with an insulator made of the same material as those of the outer seal members 21A and 21B.

  • Patent number: 7107776
    Abstract: An air conditioning system includes a primary or engine-driven compressor that is driven by a primary driving source or engine, and a secondary or motor-driven compressor that is driven by a secondary driving source or motor. The air conditioning system increases in advance an output of the secondary or motor-driven compressor before the primary or engine-driven compressor is stopped. Further, when a load of the secondary or motor-driven compressor becomes a predetermined value while the secondary or motor-driven compressor is in operation, the primary or engine-driven compressor is activated.

  • Patent number: 6973798
    Abstract: An air conditioning system 1 includes a primary compressor (an engine-driven compressor 6) driven by a primary driving source (an engine 2) and a secondary compressor (a motor-driven compressor 7) driven by a secondary driving source (a motor 3). When a required cooling capability is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the air conditioning system 1 causes the primary compressor (the engine-driven compressor 6) to be driven by the primary driving source (the engine 2) and adjusts the rotational speed of the secondary compressor (the motor-driven compressor 7), whereas when the required cooling capability is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the air conditioning system 1 causes the secondary compressor (the motor-driven compressor 7) to be driven by the secondary driving source (the motor 3) so as to control the rotational speed of the primary compressor (the engine-driven compressor 6).

  • Patent number: 6952929
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle includes a compressor. The vehicle includes a first drive source and the compressor includes a second drive source. The compressor is driven by the first drive source or the second drive source, or a combination thereof, and the second drive source includes an electrical power supply. The air conditioning system also includes a controller for selecting between the first drive source and the second drive source, such that when the compressor is active, the first drive source drives the compressor except when the vehicle is operating in a predetermined mode, a voltage of the electrical power supply is greater than or equal to a minimum electrical power supply voltage, and an amount of electric power consumed by the second drive source is less than a maximum electric power. For example, the predetermined mode may be an idle-stop mode.

  • Patent number: 6758049
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle includes a compressor driven by a first drive source or a second drive source, or a combination thereof, and an evaporator operationally connected to the compressor via a refrigerant circuit. The system also includes a blower for dispensing air into an interior of the vehicle via the evaporator. The blower is driven by the first drive source or the second drive source, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the system includes a controller for controlling the first drive source and the second drive source. Specifically, when a temperature of air dispensed from the evaporator is greater than a predetermined temperature and a speed of the vehicle is greater than a predetermined speed, the first drive source drives the compressor and the blower.

  • Publication number: 20040001760
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle includes a hybrid compressor. The vehicle includes a first drive source, and the hybrid compressor includes a second drive source. The hybrid compressor is driven by the first drive source or the second drive source, or both. Specifically, the first drive source delivers a first driving force to the hybrid compressor when a load demanded by the hybrid compressor is greater than a maximum driving force of the second drive source, such that the first driving force transitions the hybrid compressor from inactive to active. In an embodiment, the second drive source delivers a second driving force to the hybrid compressor when the load demanded by the hybrid compressor is less than or equal to the maximum driving force of the second drive source.
