  • Patent number: 11927403
    Abstract: A fluid flow channel device includes a main body and a non-ceramic sub-body. The main body has a plurality of internal flow channels, and inlets and outlets thereof are arranged so as to be exposed on an outer side surface. The sub-body has a fluid supply path and a fluid recovery path. A supply port of the fluid supply path is arranged to face the inlets of the plurality of internal flow channels. A recovery port of the fluid recovery path is arranged to face the outlets of the plurality of internal flow channels. By disposing the supply port and the recovery port for transferring the fluid to and from the plurality of internal flow channels in the sub-body, it is possible to prevent a large thermal stress from being applied to the main body.

  • Publication number: 20220258070
    Abstract: The interaction system includes: an interaction unit internally including a process flow path that allows a first fluid and a second fluid to flow through the process flow path so as to come into contact and interact with each other; a separation container connected to an outlet of the process flow path so as to receive a mixed fluid of the first fluid and the second fluid discharged from the outlet of the process flow path to retain the received mixed fluid to separate the mixed fluid into the first fluid and the second fluid; a first fluid supply device configured to supply the first fluid to an inlet of the process flow path; a second fluid path connecting a region, where the separated second fluid is accumulated, of the separation container and the inlet of the process flow path so as to guide the second fluid separated in the separation container to the inlet of the process flow path; and a second fluid feed pump provided on the second fluid path to send the second fluid separated in the separation conta
