  • Patent number: 4327801
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a heat exchanger of the type using heat pipes which permits reduction in size of the heat exchanger and enhancement in heat exchange efficiency and more particularly to a cylindrical heat exchanger principally comprising a cylindrical or polygonal tubular casing provided with openings in the middle parts of its upper and lower sides and in its circumferential side, a transverse partition plate which divides the inside of the casing into upper and lower parts and a group of vertical heat pipes arranged to pierce through the peripheral portion of the partition plate in an annular plan configuration as a whole.

  • Patent number: 4042776
    Abstract: A power cable having a plastic electrical insulation which is partially or wholly composed of a plastic compound. The plastic compound containing an inorganic or organic electrolyte which ionizes when dissolved in water, the power cable prevents the deterioration of insulation called "water tree" which has been a fatal drawback of the plastic insulation layers of the conventional plastic insulated cables such as cross-linked polyethylene cables, etc.
