Abstract: A power generation facility in an embodiment includes: a boiler; a high-pressure turbine to which steam generated in the boiler is introduced; a low-pressure turbine provided downstream of the high-pressure turbine; and a condenser that condenses steam discharged from the low-pressure turbine. The power generation facility further includes: a feed pipe that leads feedwater in the condenser to the boiler; a heat storage and steam generation device that has a heat storage function that uses surplus energy generated in an own system to store heat, and a steam generation function that has part of feedwater led by the feed pipe introduced thereinto and turns the feedwater into steam by the stored heat; and a steam supply pipe that supplies steam generated in the heat storage and steam generation device to an own system.

Abstract: A back surface of a seat pad is elastically supported by a support member. An air groove that forms an air duct is formed in the back surface of the seat pad. The support member is formed by an airtight sheet-shaped body, and the sheet-shaped body is arranged contacting the back surface of the seat pad so as to form the air duct by closing off an open portion of the air groove.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion, and a seat back including a blower. The seat back includes an interior pad facing an outer circumference of the seat back other than a part of the seat back at a rear side, and a fabric seat cover covering the interior pad to configure an exterior covering. The seat cover includes a seated occupant's side surface portion and a rear surface portion joined together to form a bag-like configuration. The interior pad is formed with an air guiding path which guides air from the blower to a surface of the seat back at a seated occupant's side. A part of the rear surface portion which does not cover the interior pad is formed as a permeation block portion having permeability lower than that of the seated occupant's side surface portion so as to block the permeation of air from the outside.

Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided. The vehicle seat includes a seat main body, and a duct that is provided in the seat main body. The duct includes an inlet port through which air is supplied, a first communication pipe which is branched from the inlet port and communicates with a first outlet port, and a second communication pipe which is branched from the inlet port and communicates with a second outlet port. The duct is provided with a heating device which is configured to supply or absorb heat to or from air flowing through at least one of the first communication pipe and the second communication pipe so as to generate a temperature difference between air discharged from the first outlet port and air discharged from the second outlet port.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a first support and a second support, and a first stay and a second stay for attaching a head rest to a seat back also includes a position adjusting mechanism and a retaining mechanism. The position adjusting mechanism adjusts positions of the stays with respect to the supports. The retaining mechanism prevents the stays from slipping out of the supports at positions above positions at which the stays are highest in an adjusted range by the position adjusting mechanism. A check hole for checking the connection state between two members, for example a cable and an operating rod, is formed in the first stay in such a position that the check hole is not visible when the stays are positioned in the adjusted range and is visible when the stays are prevented from slipping out of the supports by the retaining mechanism.
