  • Patent number: 10914319
    Abstract: A cooling device includes a cooler disposed inside a shell, an inlet nozzle that is configured to feed a fluid into the shell, an outlet nozzle that is configured to feed the fluid passing through the cooler so as to flow outward, and a guide member that is configured to change a flowing direction of the fluid. The guide member has a collision surface which spreads in an inclined direction inclined with respect to the flowing direction of the fluid fed into the shell from the inlet nozzle, and which collides with the fluid, and an uneven portion formed in at least a portion of a peripheral edge portion of the collision surface.

  • Patent number: 10337779
    Abstract: A gas recovery system separates a mixed gas including a process gas and an inert gas. The gas recovery system includes a cooling section for cooling and liquefying the process gas contained in the mixed gas by cooling the mixed gas at a temperature higher than a condensation temperature of the inert gas and lower than a condensation temperature of the process gas, a separating section for separating the cooled mixed gas into the process gas in a liquid state and the inert gas in a gas state, and a process gas recovery line that is connected to the separating section which circulates and gasifies the liquid-state process gas and then supplies the process gas into the a compressor. The mixed gas is formed by mixing the process gas, which is compressed by the compressor, and the inert gas, which is supplied to a seal portion of the compressor.
