Patent number: 9290711Abstract: The coal deactivation apparatus including: a separating device that separates out a portion of the beneficiated coal deactivated in the main treatment apparatus; a main evaluation apparatus into which the sample of the beneficiated coal separated out by the separating apparatus is supplied; a blower and heater that supply air at the evaluation temperature to the main evaluation apparatus; a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the air that has heat-treated the sample in the main evaluation apparatus; and a control unit that, when the temperature of the air is at or below the lower limit on the basis of information from the temperature sensor, determines whether or not the temperature of the process gas is at or below the lower limit and if the process gas temperature exceeds the lower limit, controls the heater to reduce the temperature of the process gas by a prescribed value.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Keiichi Sato, Keiji Tanizaki, Setsuo Omoto

Patent number: 8404007Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a reforming apparatus and the like capable of uniformly mixing water (steam) and a raw material together, of preventing the precipitation of carbon without using a temperature controller, and of efficiently heating the water and the mixture by heating gas. Accordingly, the reforming apparatus has the following configuration. The reforming apparatus includes: a first vaporizer (05) that is cylindrically shaped and includes a first flow passage; a second vaporizer (06) that is cylindrically shaped and includes a second flow passage; a duct (027) that connects an outlet of the first flow passage to an inlet of the second flow passage; a raw-material mixing portion (028) formed at a certain point of the duct. The first vaporizer and the second vaporizer are concentrically disposed. An interstice between the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer serves as a heating-gas flow passage (024).Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2007Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: JX Nippon Oil & Energy CorporationInventors: Naohiko Matsuda, Katsuki Yagi, Keiji Tanizaki, Akira Goto

Patent number: 5282485Abstract: A jet pickling apparatus for pickling the surfaces of continuously moving sheet material (12) has tips of the nozzle headers (41-43) for discharging a pickling fluid (19) on the surfaces of the sheet and into a pickling tank (31) formed into a slit shape (41a-43a), and the nozzles (41,42) at the entrance side are installed to eject pickling fluid in the same direction as the running direction of sheet while the nozzle (43) at the exit side ejects the pickling fluid in the direction opposite to the running direction of the sheet. Therefore, there is no gas in the pickling tank (31) and the tank is filled with the pickling fluid (19), which eliminates the problems of floating of the sheet (12) and insufficient contact of the pickling fluid (19) with the sheet surfaces, allowing thorough pickling and improving the pickling effect.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1992Date of Patent: February 1, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Etsuro Hirai, Keiji Tanizaki, Tadanori Miyamoto, Shoji Nagai, Yoshinobu Nakane, Muneki Kita, Yoshinori Matsumoto, Kiyohiro Tani
