Patents by Inventor Nobumi Ino

Nobumi Ino has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Vapor compression refrigerating cycle, control method thereof, and refrigerating apparatus to which the cycle and the control method are applied
    Patent number: 8141381
    Abstract: The vapor compression refrigerating apparatus of the invention comprises a compressor 2, a condenser 4, a regeneration heat exchanger 6, an expansion means 8, and an evaporator 10 connected in series. The vapor compression refrigerating cycle is based on a cycle corresponding to a reversed Ericsson cycle in which isothermal heat dissipation process and isothermal heat absorption process occur overstriding a saturated vapor line and saturated liquid line respectively and heat exchange is carried out between isobaric heat dissipation process in a liquid zone and isobaric heat absorption process in a superheated vapor zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2012
    Assignee: Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Nobumi Ino, Takayuki Kishi

  • Cryogenic liquefying/refrigerating method and system
    Patent number: 7540171
    Abstract: Cryogenic liquefying/refrigerating method and system, wherein temperature of gas-to-be-liquefied at the inlet of the compressor for compressing the gas is reduced by cooling the gas discharged from the compressor using a high-efficiency chemical refrigerating machine and vapor compression refrigerating machine before the gas is introduced to a multiple stage heat exchanger thereby reducing power input to the compressor and improving liquefying/refrigerating efficiency.
