Patent number: 10904472Abstract: According to an embodiment, system includes transmitter, pump, controller, tank and thermal storage. Pump circulates water through the transmitter. Controller drives the pump, circulates the water while the transmitter is operating, and stops the circulation of the water at a time of a stop of the transmitter. Tank stores the water circulated through the transmitter, and supplies the water to the pump. Thermal storage is provided on a surface of the tank, and stores waste heat of the exothermic part of the transmitter, which was taken in the water via the tank. Thermal storage changes in phase if a temperature of the water in the tank lowers to a predetermined temperature or below, and heats the water by latent heat which occurs.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kensuke Aoki, Katsumi Hisano, Tomonao Takamatsu, Ryosuke Yagi

Patent number: 10845127Abstract: A cooling device of an embodiment includes an evaporator, a condenser, a first connection pipe, a second connection pipe, and a third connection pipe. A refrigerant is vaporized in the evaporator by heat generated by a heating element. The condenser is located above the evaporator, and configured to condense the vaporized refrigerant by exchanging heat with an external fluid. The first connection pipe guides the refrigerant vaporized by the evaporator to the condenser. The second connection pipe guides the refrigerant condensed by the condenser to the evaporator. The third connection pipe connects a portion of the first connection pipe and a portion of the second connection pipe. A connection position between the third connection pipe and the first connection pipe is higher than a maximum liquid level height of the refrigerant in the second connection pipe during an operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions CorporationInventors: Kensuke Aoki, Takuya Hongo

Publication number: 20150118065Abstract: According to one embodiment, a pump unit provided for piping which feeds a liquid at a preset unit flow rate includes (n+1) pumps and a constant flow valve. The (n+1) pumps are arranged in series and set to pressurize the liquid so as to achieve the unit flow rate when n pumps are arranged in series. The constant flow valve is installed downstream of the (n+1) pumps. The constant flow valve feeds the fluid at the unit flow rate by giving first resistance to the fluid when the fluid is pressurized by n pumps of the (n+1) pumps. The constant flow valve feeds the fluid at the unit flow rate by giving second resistance larger than the first resistance to the fluid when the fluid is pressurized by the (n+1) pumps.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2015Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventor: Kensuke Aoki
