  • Patent number: 7760060
    Abstract: In a vehicle transformer including a core 1, a winding 2, a rectangular tank 3 holding them, a cooling unit 7 for cooling a cooling medium 6 filling the tank 3, and a circulating pump 8 for forcibly circulating the cooling medium 6, a partition member 9 is provided for dividing an interior of the tank 3 into two and the partition member 9 divides a channel of the cooling medium 6 flowing within the winding 2 into a first cooling medium channel 10 and a second cooling medium channel 11, and both of the cooling medium channels 10, 11 are communicated at one end side of the tank 3 and the cooling unit 7 connected to both of the cooling medium channels 10, 11 is provided at the other end for the cooling medium 6 to flow and circulate in the first cooling medium channel 10 and the second cooling medium channel 11. Thereby, the connection between the tank and the cooling unit is simplified and a vehicle transformer reduced in size and weight is obtained.

  • Patent number: 5606016
    Abstract: A process for preparing colorless rosins characterized by dehydrogenating purified hydrogenated rosins in the presence of a dehydrogenating catalyst. The colorless rosins obtained according to the process of the present invention are nearly colorless in appearance, odorless and excellent in stabilities, particularly are excellent in various properties such as odor, stabilities and compatibility in a heated state. Accordingly the above-mentioned colorless rosins are suitably used not only as modifiers for soap-type cleaning compositions, but also as emulsifiers for synthetic rubbers and emulsion polymerization in the form of alkali metal salts thereof.

  • Patent number: 5395920
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a rosin ester, which comprises esterifying a purified product of a disproportionated rosin with an alcohol, and then subjecting the esterified rosin to dehydrogenation in the presence of a dehydrogenating catalyst, a process for preparing a rosin ester, which comprises heating a purified rosin and an alcohol in the presence of a disproportionating catalyst, simultaneously subjecting the resulting rosin to disproportionation and esterification, dehydrogenating the reactant in the presence of a dehydrogenating catalyst, and thereafter adding an organic phosphorus compound to the reaction system, a process for preparing a colorless rosin, which comprises simultaneously subjecting a purified rosin to disproportionation and dehydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst, and then adding an organic phosphorus compound to the reaction system and a process for preparing a colorless rosin, which comprises dehydrogenating a purified disproportionated rosin in the
