  • Patent number: 8286630
    Abstract: The apparatus is equipped with cover unit (1) fixed to a head portion of worker so as to cover at least the regions of nose and mouth of the worker, the cover unit capable of trapping the worker's breath. The cover unit has an exhaust opening and an air supply opening. Further, the apparatus is equipped with moisture recycle unit (2) fitted to the worker so as to simultaneously carry out the two processes consisting of the adsorption process of introducing moist air, effecting adsorption of the water contained in the air on an adsorbent and emitting dry air and the regeneration process of introducing dry air, effecting evaporation of the water adsorbed on the adsorbent into the dry air and emitting moist air. Still further, the apparatus is equipped with exhaust hose (3) connecting the exhaust opening of the cover unit to the moisture recycle unit and with air supply hose (4) connecting the moisture recycle unit to the air supply opening of the cover unit.

  • Patent number: 7311474
    Abstract: A pellet loader according to the present invention is provided with an ejector portion 1. A gas supply pipe 2 is connected to an injection nozzle 11 of the ejector portion 1 for supplying compressed gas from a compressed gas source 8. An insert pipe 4 is connected to a suction inlet 12 of the ejector portion 1. Pellets are sucked from the suction inlet 40 of the insert pipe 4 into the ejector portion 1. A gas pipe 5 is arranged along the insert pipe 4 and one end of the gas pipe 5 has an opening 50 positioned at the vicinity of the suction inlet 40 of the insert pipe 4 and faced to the suction inlet 40 of the insert pipe 4 for injecting the compressed gas into the insert pipe 4. A transport pipe 3 is connected to an outlet portion 14 of the ejector portion 1.

  • Patent number: 6321461
    Abstract: A drying apparatus has a hopper (1) for receiving an object to be dried, and an air supply unit (2) for supplying a high pressure air to the hopper (1). The air supply unit (2) includes a compressor (8), a dehumidifier (9), a heater (10), an air supply passage (11) which connects the compressor, the dehumidifier and the heater in series, and is connected to a supply port (3) of the hopper so as to supply a high pressure air to the hopper (1), and an ejector (12) arranged on the midway of the air supply passage. An injection port of the ejector is connected with an upstream side of the air supply passage, a discharge port of the ejector being connected with a downstream side of the air supply passage, an intake port of the ejector being connected to an exhaust port (4) of the dry apparatus main body via a return passage (31).

  • Patent number: 5242473
    Abstract: A gas dehumidifying apparatus including a dehumidifier rotor wherein the rotor is of a composite construction which is compatible with both high humidity and low humidity conditions and in which proper temperature conditions can be obtained in connection with the regeneration of the adsorbent to thereby improve the adsorption performance of the rotor. The apparatus exhibits improved dehumidification efficiency and thus can provide treated gas with a dryness level higher than conventionally attainable.
