Patent number: 5852236Abstract: In a traverse device mounting type or handy type fluid measuring probe in which a plurality of conductive lines are connected to a contact type sensor element and the conductive lines are covered by a support member, or a test member attachment type fluid measuring probe, a fluid measuring probe is provided in which when the probe head or the support member is brought into contact with other things, an impact force is moderated and a damage of the probe head and the support member is suppressed. When a pressure that is not less than a predetermined pressure is applied to the support member in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the support member, the support member may be bent; when the pressure is released, the support member may be restored; and when the pressure that is not less than the predetermined pressure is not applied, the support member may maintain a predetermined posture.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1997Date of Patent: December 22, 1998Assignee: Honda Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideyuki Honda

Patent number: 5784899Abstract: The present invention employs a dry-type condenser capable of heat exchange even at small temperature difference for the condensers for the crude argon column, deoxidation column, and pure argon column in an argon separation apparatus using air liquefication and distillation. Additionally, oxygen-enriched liquefied air withdrawn from a plate which is higher than the bottom of the higher pressure column of a double distillation column is employed as the cold source for the condensers. As a result, a large temperature difference between the condensive and vaporative sides of each column's condensers can be obtained. Moreover, even when the total number of theoretical steps of the crude argon column and the deoxidation column exceeds 100, it is not necessary to provide a blower to increase pressure of the crude argon. Thus, the cost of the apparatus and its operation can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1997Date of Patent: July 28, 1998Assignee: Nippon Sanso CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Nojima, Tomio Kura, Hideyuki Honda

Patent number: 5765397Abstract: The present invention relates to an air liquefaction separation apparatus whose power cost is reduced. A low-pressure column of a double rectification column has a cleaning section at a lower position, and a liquid oxygen is partly withdrawn from the space above the cleaning section so as to supply it to a main condenser-evaporator. The liquid oxygen supplied to the main condenser-evaporator is subjected to heat exchange with a nitrogen gas separated at the head of a high-pressure column to be gasified into an oxygen gas. This oxygen gas is introduced to the space under the cleaning section. Hydrocarbons contained in the oxygen gas ascending through the cleaning section are removed by the rest of the liquid oxygen descending through the cleaning section to provide a clean oxygen gas. The liquid oxygen passed through the cleaning section is withdrawn from the low-pressure column.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1996Date of Patent: June 16, 1998Assignee: Nippon Sanso CorporationInventors: Hideyuki Honda, Yasuharu Kishida

Patent number: 5359857Abstract: An air liquefaction separation installation is provided with a rectification column which have a carbon monoxide rectification part connected to the upper part of the rectification column and at upper part of its rectification parts or a main condensation evaporator, a collecting part is provided for withdrawing a part of nitrogen gas having reduced amount of carbon monoxide and/or liquified nitrogen; and a carbon monoxide-containing nitrogen gas withdrawal part and/or liquefied nitrogen gas withdrawal part, connected to the lower part of the carbon monoxide rectification part. According to the present invention, carbon monoxide is removed from nitrogen by a rectification process. Accordingly, cost for installation and operation can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1993Date of Patent: November 1, 1994Assignee: Nippon Sanso CorporationInventor: Hideyuki Honda

Patent number: 4447805Abstract: In an array of coke ovens each including a plurality of combustion chambers having a plurality of flue nozzles, a measuring car equipped with a temperature measuring member runs above the array in a direction of the array or in a longitudinal direction of the combustion chambers so as to detect thermal radiations passing through the flue nozzles to measure combustion chamber temperature. The measured temperature is sent to a remote control room through antennae. Where a coal charging car of a Rahmen construction is used an antenna is also provided for the coal charging car so that even when the measuring car runs beneath the coal charging car, radio communication can be assured. The temperature of the combustion chambers can be readily and accurately measured by linearly running the measuring car whether combustion is effected in one or the other side of the combustion chambers.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1982Date of Patent: May 8, 1984Assignee: Mitsubishi Kasei Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihiro Omae, Noboru Okubo, Keiichi Sigyo, Hideo Nakajima, Hiroaki Fukui, Toshio Yamada, Hideyuki Honda
