Abstract: Cooling water is circulated at small flow rate of 1 to 5 L/min between a bypass passage and an engine without circulating the cooling water in an oil cooler before the warming-up of the engine is completed. After the warming-up is completed, the cooling water is supplied to the oil cooler so that the engine cooling water temperature is maintained at 95° C. to 110° C. Consequently, the no local boiling of the cooling water in the engine occurs to prevent the engine from being deformed locally due to heat. Thus, the warming-up of the engine can be promoted while preventing the heat of the engine from being absorbed by the ATF through the cooling water. After the warming-up is completed, the fuel consumption can be improved by reducing the friction loss of the engine oil.

Abstract: A combustor includes a pilot fuel nozzle and a plurality of main premixing nozzles arranged therearound for forming a premixture of air and fuel supplied from a main fuel nozzle, and is improved so as not to cause vibratory combustion. Pilot fuel nozzle unit 104 comprises a plurality of pilot fuel nozzles 103. A plurality of main premixing nozzles 102 are disposed on a coaxial circumference of the pilot fuel nozzle unit 104. The pilot fuel nozzles 103 are arranged irregularly in a circumferential direction of the pilot fuel nozzle unit 104, so as to form portion 105 where there is no pilot fuel nozzle 103. Premature in the main premixing nozzles 102 positioned corresponding to the pilot fuel nozzle 103 burns with comparatively short flames. Premature in the main premixing nozzles 102 positioned corresponding to the portion 105 of no pilot fuel nozzle 103 burns with long flames because of flames spreading from adjacent main fuel nozzles.

Abstract: A power supply for an ac discharge lamp utilizes a switching transistor for turning on and off the dc current from a dc power circuit. The dc current is then fed to a low pass filter for supplying the dc power to the lamp with alternating polarity. A voltage and a current sensing circuits effective to control the dc power to a substantially constant level is connected to a control circuit for controlling the on and off times of the switching transistor. In such a power supply, the voltage and current sensing circuits are made up of transformers whereby the high-voltage circuit section is effectively separated and insulated from the low-voltage circuit section so as to prevent any possible electrical shocks.
