  • Patent number: 11959702
    Abstract: An air separation device can include: a first compressor and a second compressor for compressing feed air; a first refrigerator and a second refrigerator for cooling the feed air; a pre-purification unit for pre-purifying the feed air; a flow rate measuring unit for measuring the flow rate of the feed air; a main heat exchanger for subjecting the feed air to heat exchange; a purification portion into which the feed air led out from the main heat exchanger is fed, and which separates and purifies product nitrogen and/or product oxygen from the feed air; and a compressor control unit for controlling the feed quantity of the feed air in accordance with an increase or decrease in the production quantity of product nitrogen and/or product oxygen.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8371972
    Abstract: An engine unit includes a crank shaft that receives a driving force of an engine and a moving pulley that is movable in an axial direction. Keyholes are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the crank shaft. Axially extending guide holes are formed on a boss portion of the moving pulley in positions that correspond to the keyholes. Ends of keys are mounted to the keyholes. The guide holes receive therein bases of the keys to guide relative movements of the moving pulley and the crank shaft in an axial direction.

  • Patent number: 8215439
    Abstract: In some preferred embodiments, the dry clutch is capable of suppressing transmission of engine rotational fluctuations from the engine to a rider via a vehicle body. In the dry clutch including a driving member (clutch shoe) 66 and a driven member (clutch drum) 62 configured to be engaged with each other and disengaged from each other in a non-lubricating atmosphere to transmit/intercept the motive power of the engine to a drive wheel, a solid lubricant 70 is interposed between the driving member 66 and the driven member 62.

  • Patent number: 7174981
    Abstract: A first air cleaner box (25) is provided on one side of a rear wheel (4) above a transmission case (9) of a unit-swinging power train unit (1), whereas a second air cleaner box (26) is provided on the other side of the rear wheel (9). Air compartments (40) of the air cleaner boxes (25, 26) are connected to a throttle valve (22) while the air compartments of the air cleaner boxes are made to communicate with each other. The second air cleaner box (26) can be provided by making use of a dead space defined on a side of the rear wheel (4). The capacity of the air compartment (40) can be increased by the first and second air cleaner boxes (25, 26) while preventing the enlargement of the vehicle body, whereby the output of an engine (3) can be increased by increasing the displacement of the engine (3).
