Abstract: A heat transport device comprises first flow passages through which a first fluid flows, and second flow passages through which a second fluid flows, wherein a cross-section A satisfying the following Requirement 1 to Requirement 3 can be achieved. Requirement 1 is that the cross-section A is a cross-section perpendicular to the second flow passages. Requirement 2 is that in the cross-section A, the holes of second flow passages are separated by meandering partition plates and are disposed in a layered manner. Two adjacent partition plates are a partition plate B and a partition plate C, and when comparing a point ?, which is the top point of a mountain in the partition plate B closest to the partition plate C, and a point ?, which is the bottom point of a valley in the partition plate C closest to the partition plate B, the point ? is closer to the partition plate C side than the point ?. Requirement 3 is that the first flow passages are present inside the partition plates.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel that are alternately stacked in a stacking direction, each of the first flow channel and the second flow channel including: upstream parts disposed parallel to one another in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction and to a direction in which the flow channels extend; downstream parts disposed parallel to one another in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction and to a direction in which the flow channels extend; and branching/merging parts configured to branch the flow channels immediately upstream of the branching/merging parts into two divergent channels and merge the divergent channels adjacent to one another to form next flow channels, between the upstream parts and the downstream parts, wherein the branching/merging parts are provided in a plurality of stages between the upstream parts and the downstream parts.

Abstract: A heat transport device comprises first flow passages through which a first fluid flows, and second flow passages through which a second fluid flows, wherein a cross-section A satisfying the following Requirement 1 to Requirement 3 can be achieved. Requirement 1 is that the cross-section A is a cross-section perpendicular to the second flow passages. Requirement 2 is that the holes of the second flow passages are disposed so as to be aligned in the left-right direction and to form layers in the up-down direction; and when comparing layers with holes adjacent in the up-down direction, the holes of the second flow passages are not disposed at the same position in the left-right direction. Requirement 3 is that the first flow passages exist between the layers with holes adjacent in the up-down direction, and the first flow passages meander in the up-down direction so as to avoid the holes of the second flow passages in the layers with holes that are sandwiched in the up-down direction.

Abstract: A steam injector including an introducing portion introducing a liquid flow of a refrigerant and a steam flow of the refrigerant; a mixing portion that has a shape with an internal cross-sectional area decreasing toward a moving direction of the liquid flow, and internally mixes the jet-like liquid flow with the steam flow to form a refrigerant flow; a throat portion formed on an outlet side of the mixing portion; and a diffuser portion that has a shape with an internal cross-sectional area increasing from the throat portion toward a moving direction of the refrigerant flow, and discharges the refrigerant flow at an increased pressure from a discharge portion. The throat portion has an internal cross-sectional area smaller than a critical cross-sectional area at which a discharge pressure of the refrigerant flow discharged from the discharge portion nonlinearly increases when the internal cross-sectional area of the throat portion is reduced.

Abstract: A disposable medical tubing holder and stabilizer comprising a base layer and a pair of opposing hook and loop regions located on a top planar surface of a base layer. A primary adhesive region selectively sized to receive a length of medical tubing is located between the opposing hook and loop regions on the top planar surface so as to separate the opposing hook and loop regions. The opposing hook and loop regions are foldable about the primary adhesive region to thereby form an engaged sheath about the medical tubing to secure the medical tubing to the tubing holder. A secondary adhesive region is located on the bottom planar surface of the base layer and is engageable on a target surface for stabilizing a medical tubing on the target surface.
