Publication number: 20230256371Abstract: The gas-liquid separator comprises: a swirl structure that causes a gas heading from upstream to downstream to swirl about a flow axis heading from upstream to downstream; a separation structure that discharges outward liquid components contained in the gas passing through the swirl structure; and a deflection structure that is provided downstream of the swirl structure and deflects the gas that has passed through the swirl structure. The deflection structure is provided with: a narrowing core portion that has a three-dimensional shape which narrows from upstream to downstream; and deflecting fins that are provided to the side surface of the narrowing core portion and deflect the gas in the opposite direction to the swirling direction resulting from the swirl structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Daisuke SEO, Teruo NAKAMURA, Hiroyuki TAKIZAWA, Ayumi NIHEI, Takashi KONDA

Publication number: 20230258207Abstract: The flow regulating structure comprises a plurality of rail structures. Each rail structure has a plurality of rod-shaped members that are arranged side-by-side with the same direction of extension. The plurality of rail structures are disposed along the direction of gas travel in overlapping positions with space therebetween. The extension directions of the rod-shaped members differ between adjacent rail structures. In each rail structure, the plurality of rod-shaped members are arranged side-by-side with the same direction of extension in both a first virtual plane and a second virtual plane, which face one another in the direction of gas travel, and when viewed from the direction of gas travel, the rod-shaped members disposed on the second virtual plane are positioned between adjacent members among the plurality of rod-shaped members disposed on the first virtual plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Daisuke SEO, Hiroyuki TAKIZAWA, Hironobu TAKAHASHI, Ayumi NIHEI, Takashi KONDA
