Patent number: 11504738Abstract: A coating is formed on a surface of a base material of a furnace, and includes a base layer and a sliding material layer that is formed on a surface of the base layer and contains an oxide ceramic and a compound having a layered crystal structure. The sliding material layer causes the collided ashes to be slipped and facilitates the drop off of the adhered ashes. The base material forms a heat transfer tube or a wall surface of the furnace. The coating is also applied to a coal gasification furnace, a pulverized coal fired boiler, a combustion apparatus, or a reaction apparatus containing a furnace.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignees: IHI Corporation, TOCALO Co., LtdInventors: Naoki Sato, Nobuhiko Kubota, Koki Hamada, Tatsuo Suidzu, Kazuhiro Takeuchi

Patent number: 8395771Abstract: A light detection value determines concentration of a target component, without using a laser emitter of high laser intensity or a large light collector. By changing orientation of the laser emitter about a horizontal axis, or height of the laser emitter, a laser irradiation position on a ground or water surface is switched between first and second irradiation positions. A photodetector detects first scattered light scattering from the first laser beam at the first irradiation position, second scattered light scattering from the second laser beam at the first irradiation position, third scattered light scattering from the first laser beam at the second irradiation position, and fourth scattered light scattering from the second laser beam at the second irradiation position. A concentration calculator calculates concentration of a target component between the first and second irradiation positions, based on detection values of the first, second, third, and fourth scattered light.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: IHI CorporationInventors: Jun Izawa, Yasunori Hamano, Nobuhiko Kubota
