Patent number: 10350575Abstract: A reactor has a heat exchanging body including therein a heat medium flow channel in which heat medium flows, and a reaction flow channel in which a reaction fluid flows, to exchange heat between the heat medium and the reaction fluid. A heat transfer promoter is provided in the heat medium flow channel and comes in close contact with the heat exchanging body to promote heat transfer between the heat medium and the heat exchanging body. The heat transfer promoter is an assembly of partial heat transfer promoters of a plurality of types. Replacing the partial heat transfer promoter with another type one, temperature distribution in the heat exchanging body is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: IHI CORPORATIONInventors: Akihisa Yano, Tatsuya Oka, Takahito Akita, Taiga Yamamoto, Hideshi Shibuya, Yushi Kameoka, Yusuke Takeuchi, Koki Yasui, Takuya Yoshinoya

Publication number: 20180292085Abstract: A combustion gas supply system has an air compressor supplying compressed air, a fuel supply device that supplies a fuel and a combustor that generates a pressurized combustion gas by combusting the fuel and the compressed air. At a gas supply and recovery section, the pressurized combustion gas generated by the combustor is supplied to a heat consumption apparatus, and the pressurized combustion gas after heat consumption is recovered as a used gas. A part of the used gas recovered is supplementarily compressed by a re-pressurizing compressor and supplied to the compressed air.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2018Publication date: October 11, 2018Applicant: IHI CORPORATIONInventors: Hideshi SHIBUYA, Akihisa YANO, Tatsuya OKA, Takahito AKITA, Taiga YAMAMOTO, Yushi KAMEOKA, Yusuke TAKEUCHI, Koki YASUI
