  • Patent number: 11371787
    Abstract: A gas cooler effectively prevents or suppresses an outflow of drain water to the outside. The gas cooler includes a casing, a cooling unit, a seal plate, a lead-in port, a lead-out port, and a drain scattering prevention member. The cooling unit is accommodated within the casing and cools gas. The seal plate is provided in the cooling unit and partitions an inside of the casing into an upper space thorough which the gas before passing through the cooling unit flows and a bottom space through which the gas after passing through the cooling unit flows. The gas is led from the lead-in port into the upper space, and the gas is led out of the bottom space via the lead-out port. The drain scattering prevention member is disposed in the bottom space, and collects the drain water, while allowing the gas to pass therethrough.

  • Patent number: 11162162
    Abstract: A steel with high hardness and excellent toughness contains, in mass %, 0.40-1.00% C, 0.10-2.00% Si, 0.10-1.00% Mn, 0.030% or less P, 0.030% or less S, 1.10-3.20% Cr, 0.010-0.10% Al, and 0.15-0.50% V, and further contains at least one or two of 2.50% or less Ni and 1.00% or less Mo, with an amount of (C+V) being 0.60% or more in mass %, with the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The steel has a microstructure which is a martensitic structure with finely dispersed Fe-based ? carbides, with its prior austenite grain size being 20 ?m or less.

  • Patent number: 10895346
    Abstract: A pressure vessel, comprising: a vessel body having a rectangular parallelepiped shape for containing high pressure gas; a dividing wall in the form of a plate and disposed in the vessel body; and a plurality of ribs disposed on an outer surface of the vessel body. The vessel body includes: a top wall having a rectangular shape; a bottom wall having a rectangular shape and facing the top wall; and a surrounding wall joining a peripheral edge of the top wall and a peripheral edge of the bottom wall. The dividing wall is disposed in the vessel body to define a first chamber having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a second chamber having a rectangular parallelepiped shape in cooperation with the vessel body. Each of the plurality of ribs extends over an entire circumference of the vessel body and along a plane perpendicularly intersecting the dividing wall.

  • Patent number: 10415889
    Abstract: A gas cooler includes a pair of seal plates and a pair of first support ribs. The individual seal plate has a stepped surface which extends in a direction that a cooling portion is inserted into a casing. The individual first support rib supports the stepped surface. With the configuration where the stepped surface is supported by the first support rib, the inside of the casing is partitioned into an upstream-side space communicated with an introducing port and a downstream-side space communicated with a discharging port.

  • Patent number: 8117936
    Abstract: A gear support mechanism for supporting two gears and an intermediate gear which meshes with the two gears to transfer rotation of one of the two gears to the other, includes a gear-shaft support member(s) which supports a gear shaft of the intermediate gear; and a spring member installed between the gear-shaft support member and the intermediate gear. The spring member includes a gear contacting portion which is in contact with the intermediate gear, and resilient support legs extend radially from the gear contacting portion and are in contact with the gear-shaft support member, the spring member biasing the intermediate gear in a direction of an axis of the gear shaft. Each of the two gears is positioned in an inter-leg space between adjacent resilient support legs as viewed in a direction along the axis of the gear shaft.
