Patent number: 7602085Abstract: A system for utilizing coal energy includes a thermal power generator near a coal field area that converts coal energy of the coal field area located remotely from a demand end to electric energy. It also includes an alternating current load at a demand end side, an alternating current power distribution network, and an electric power transmission mechanism that transmit electric energy from the thermal power generator to the power distribution network. The electric power transmission mechanism is a combination of super conductive power transmitting system that transmit direct current electricity with small transmission loss utilizing super conductive power transmitting cables and a conventional power distribution network operating at ambient temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuniaki Kawamura, Masamitsu Ikeuchi, Akito Machida

Patent number: 7591138Abstract: An apparatus for producing a slush fluid wherein a liquid and solid particles are mixed together, comprising product tank (1) for storing the slush fluid (50) in its saturated condition; liquid nitrogen supply nozzle (10) provided at an upper part of the product tank (1); and compressor (15) for evacuating the interior of the product tank, which apparatus is adapted to spray a liquid in microparticulate form through the liquid nitrogen supply nozzle (10) into the product tank evacuated by the compressor (15) and to solidify the liquid particles by evaporative latent heat, thereby forming solid nitrogen (51).Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masamitsu Ikeuchi, Akito Machida, Kouichi Matsuo

Patent number: 7370481Abstract: Liquid nitrogen is filled in a low temperature vessel; an ejector that sucks liquid nitrogen by blowing a cooling agent (liquid or gas) such as low temperature helium gas or liquid helium of pressure higher than in the space within the vessel is disposed in the vessel; the liquid nitrogen blown with the cooling agent is cooled by the cooling agent to become fine particles of solid nitrogen which fall down; and gas in a space of the vessel is discharged out of the vessel so as to maintain the pressure of the space higher than the atmospheric pressure. A gaseous phase of liquid nitrogen in an adiabatic vessel is depressurized to vaporize nitrogen in a liquid phase so that the temperature of the nitrogen reaches the triple point of nitrogen by lowering the temperature to thereby produce solid nitrogen by keeping the temperature at the triple point, and that the produced solid nitrogen is transformed into slush by stirring the content of the adiabatic vessel.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuniaki Kawamura, Akito Machida, Masamitsu Ikeuchi, Kazuhiro Hattori, Kouichi Matsuo, Hideharu Yanagi
