  • Heat exchanger with liquid receiver
    Patent number: 10488118
    Abstract: To allow an end plate 5 on one side of a heat exchanger to support a liquid receiver 20 in a preferable manner, the present invention provides the following structure: The end plate 5 is formed to have a C-shaped cross section, having a pair of reinforcing ribs 18A, 18B protruding outward in the right-left direction from the front and back edges of the end plate 5. A fixing band 30 includes: an embracing portion 31 formed in a loop for embracing the liquid receiver 20; an attaching portion 32 (a pair of attaching pieces 32A, 32B) to the end plate 5, the attaching portion 32 being formed continuously with the embracing portion 31; and a reinforcing portion 33 formed integrally with the attaching portion 32 (attaching piece 32A) so as to be fitted between the pair of reinforcing ribs 18A, 18B.

  • Magnet evaluating device and method
    Patent number: 9625539
    Abstract: A magnet evaluating device evaluates an evaluation magnet by passing the evaluation magnet, which is formed by connecting a plurality of magnetic sections with insulating material in between, and a master magnet of the same form through an alternating magnetic field generated by an excitation coil, measuring the eddy current occurring in the magnetic section as voltage or current occurring in a detection coil and comparing the measured value for the evaluation magnet and the measured value for the master magnet.
