  • Publication number: 20110212233
    Abstract: This invention provides an acid-resistant malt extract useful to add a clear or transparent color to acidic food and beverage having a pH value of not less than 2 and less than 4.6, without generating suspended or sedimented insoluble matter; and a manufacturing method therefor. The malt extract of the present invention is obtained by adjusting the particle diameter of insoluble particles contained in the malt extract to less than 0.9 ?m by way of, for example, filtering an untreated liquid malt extract or a treated liquid thereof using a filter having a pore diameter of 0.9 ?m or less.

  • Patent number: 7770395
    Abstract: A sleeve 2e having the length of the side surface thereof made longer at a position away from the compressor outlet 11 is connected to the upstream-side end of an external cylinder 2c. By this sleeve 2e, compressed air flowing along the inside wall surface of a casing 4 flows, making a turn, in a space between the sleeve 2e and the inside wall surface of the casing 4, thereby providing the compressed air flow being introduced from the sleeve 2e to the external cylinder 2c with uniformity.

  • Patent number: 7540152
    Abstract: By installing a cylinder 53 having a bell-mouth construction to the downstream side of a combustor basket 2a, compressed air flowing between the combustor basket 2a and an external cylinder 2c is throttled. In addition, by having a cross section of the downstream-side end surface of the cylinder 53 shaped in a semicircle and providing a back surface wall 2d having a curvature being equivalent to a curvature of the semicircular curved surface, compressed air flow making 180 degrees turn can be made uniform and free from disturbance.

  • Patent number: 7540153
    Abstract: By installing a cylinder 53x having a bell-mouth construction to the downstream side of a combustor basket 2a and by providing different level to the downstream-side end of the cylinder 53x, notches 60 are constructed. The notches 60 form fixed vortices in the compressed air, and the vortices enable the compressed air to determine the flow direction thereof so as to flow toward the tips of the main nozzles 22.

  • Patent number: 7523614
    Abstract: A punched metal plate 51 is constructed so as to be in a ring shape covering a space between the outside wall of the combustor basket 2a and the inside wall of the external cylinder 2c and at the same time is constructed to be a perforated plate having a plurality of holes. In addition, ribs 52 are provided in a radial pattern against the axis of a combustor in a manner that both ends of a rib 52 are in contact with the outside wall of the combustor basket 2a and the inside wall of the external cylinder 2c. Additionally, ribs 52 are provided in a plural number, and the plurality of ribs 52 are arranged so as to be equally spaced in the circumferential direction of a combustor and connected to the external cylinder 2c, thereby supporting the combustor basket 2a.
