Patent number: 6581379Abstract: There are provided a pressure intensifying cylinder 2a for allowing a pressure intensifying chamber 31 to communicate with a head-side cylinder chamber 22 of a working cylinder 1 and its control hydraulic circuit. When a load and a rated pressure Pp of a hydraulic pump 25 are balanced with each other at the time of inserting and setting a core 41, a check valve 21 is closed and a sequence valve 34 is opened to move the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a forward, so that the pressure of the head-side cylinder chamber 22 is increased. A pressure intensifying ratio of the pressure intensifying cylinder 2a is set such that the pressure of the head-side cylinder chamber 22 is higher than pressure occurring with molding pressure.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Nambu Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazushi Nomura, Hiroshi Kitamura, Satoshi Komatsu

Patent number: 6180840Abstract: A production method in which reaction processes are divided into two regions comprising one reaction region where mainly perchloroethylene is made to react with HF in a vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst and the other reaction region where HCFC-123 (CF3CHCl2) and/or HCFC-124 (CF3CFHCl) is made to react with HF in a vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst, the former region being kept at a higher pressure and the latter region at a lower pressure during the reaction procedure. By this method it is possible to keep the conversion of perchloroethylene at a high level while securing the life of a catalyst, and it is also possible to raise the selectivity of HFC-125. This is a method of producing HFC-125 in which the content of CFC-115 is lowered to not more than 15 vol % of the total amount of HFC-125 and CFC-115, and then CFC-115 is made to react with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1998Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Daiken Industries Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Shibanuma, Yukio Homoto, Satoshi Komatsu, Toshikazu Yoshimura

Patent number: 6177532Abstract: A polymerization process, in which when at least one of fluorine-containing olefin monomers in gaseous phase or supercritical phase or a monomer mixture of the fluorine-containing olefin monomer and other monomer copolymerizable therewith is subjected to batch polymerization in an aqueous medium while being diffused to the aqueous medium, a diffusing amount of the monomer or monomer mixture to the aqueous medium is not less than 80% of the theoretical consumption of the monomer or monomer mixture when polymerized at the theoretical polymerization rate.
