  • Patent number: 8157968
    Abstract: An oven observing equipment capable of observing the inside of an oven turned to a high temperature precisely includes: a housing 13 having an intake part for cooling air, and a discharging part for discharging the cooling air after being used for cooling; and an imaging device 20 contained in this housing 13 near the discharge part. This imaging device 20 is composed of integrated combination of an image sensor 16; plate-like thermoelectric cooling elements 18a to 18d arranged in a state that their heat-absorbing faces surround the periphery of a body of the image sensor; thermoconductive blocks 17a to 17d embedded in the gaps between the image sensor body and the thermoelectric cooling elements 18a to 18d; and cooling fins 19a to 19d formed on the heat-radiating faces of the thermoelectric cooling elements 18a to 18d are integrated with each other.

  • Publication number: 20090242184
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a finned tube type heat exchanger (spiral tube fin heat exchanger) capable of having a reduced size and having an increased heat exchange efficiency and, therefore, an increased performance. A spiral tube fin heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes that allow a heat exchanging object to flow therein and each including a radially-extending tube fin on an outer peripheral surface thereof, the plurality of heat transfer tubes being arranged to be oriented in an identical direction, wherein the tube fin has a spiral shape and has a spiral axis being coincident with a center axis of each of the heat transfer tubes, and the plurality of heat transfer tubes are arranged such that tip ends of tube fin portions in one of adjacent heat transfer tubes intrude between tube fin portions in the other one of adjacent heat transfer tubes.
