  • Patent number: 12152602
    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor includes: a housing including an intake flow path; a compressor impeller disposed in the intake flow path; a circulation flow path provided radially outside the intake flow path and connected to the intake flow path at a downstream position that radially faces the compressor impeller and at an upstream position that is upstream of the downstream position with respect to the compressor impeller; and a movable member disposed at the upstream position and including a body portion having a protruding portion, the movable member being movable between a protruding position where the circulation flow path is closed by the body portion and the protruding portion is located in the intake flow path, and a retracted position where the protruding portion is retracted from the intake flow path and the circulation flow path is connected to the intake flow path.

  • Publication number: 20240150555
    Abstract: Provided are: a rubber composite in which cellulose nanofibers are well-dispersed in rubber and which has favorable characteristics (in particular, storage modulus, etc.) that make it possible to form a vulcanized rubber product having an excellent elastic modulus, excellent wear resistance, etc.; and a cellulose nanofiber-containing composition from which said rubber composite can be formed. Provided is a composition containing cellulose nanofibers and a nonionic surfactant, wherein the nonionic surfactant has, as a hydrophobic moiety, a group that has 6-30 carbon atoms and is an aliphatic or aromatic or a combination thereof.
