  • Publication number: 20150206729
    Abstract: An object is to mix multiple liquids sufficiently and then nebulize the mixed liquids while maintaining the nebulizing efficiency. A nebulizer includes a first inner tube disposed inside an outer tube and having therein a first sample passage through which a first liquid sample flows, a second inner tube disposed inside the outer tube in parallel with the first inner tube and having therein a second sample passage through which a second liquid sample flows, a membranous member disposed with a gap between the membranous member and sample outlets formed at respective ends of the inner tubes. The gap forms mixing space in which a gas passing through a gas passage converts the first and second liquid samples flowing out of the sample outlets into droplets and mixes the droplets and the membranous member has multiple holes through which the mixed liquid samples pass along with the gas.

  • Publication number: 20140353495
    Abstract: A nebulizer characterized in being provided with: an inner tube, which is disposed coaxially with an outer tube in which a nebulizing outlet is formed and which, together with the outer tube, forms a gas channel therebetween; a sample channel, which is formed inside the inner tube and through which a liquid sample to be nebulized flows; and a reticular membrane disposed with a gap from the sample outlet that is formed at one end of the inner tube and in which multiple holes, through which liquid sample drops flowing out from the sample outlet pass along with a gas, are formed. Using the nebulizer, the particle size of the nebulized liquid droplets can be made uniformly fine over a broad range of sample liquid flow volumes while retention of sample liquid in the nebulizer is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8869554
    Abstract: Gas treatment equipment includes a compressor which compresses process gas, a first process module which is disposed downstream of the compressor and which treats the process gas, an expander which is disposed downstream of the first process module and which expands the process gas to obtain power, a second process module which is disposed downstream of the expander and which treats the process gas, and a driver which drives the compressor. A first pressure indicator is disposed at an inlet of the compressor for the process gas and measures a pressure of the process gas, and a second pressure indicator is disposed at an outlet of the second process module for the process gas and measures a pressure of the process gas. A recirculation flow path is connected to both of the outlet of the second process module for the process gas and the inlet of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 8656718
    Abstract: In a steam system having a turbine driven by steam supplied from a high-pressure header to a low-pressure header, when the pressure in the low-pressure header drops, a turbine bypass valve is opened and the high-pressure side steam is supplied to the low-pressure side header in a normal control. When the turbine is tripped, steam is rapidly flow into the low-pressure side header and its pressure temporally increases. the steam in the low-pressure header is discharged through a discharge valve. After that, if a steam supply from the low-pressure header to another process increases, the discharge valve is closed. After the discharge valve is fully closed, an after-trip control is performed in which the opening of the turbine bypass valve is increased at an earlier timing than the normal control for preventing the steam amount in the low-pressure header to be too small. The control stability of the steam system when the turbine is tripped can be enhanced.
