  • Patent number: 9476654
    Abstract: An aircraft/spacecraft fluid cooling system and an aircraft/spacecraft fluid cooling method in which a fluid in a pipe installed in aircraft or spacecraft can be cooled efficiently so that the amount of fluid required for cooling the fluid can be reduced. A fluid cooling system includes a feed line that feeds a fluid from a storage tank to a pump, and a cooling section that expands a propellant having traveled through the pump, feeds the propellant to the outer periphery of the feed line so as to cool the propellant in the feed line, and discharges the expanded propellant outside.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2016

  • Patent number: 9242201
    Abstract: A filter medium for an air filter collecting dust in an air flow has a principal collection layer including a porous polytetrafluoroethylene film. A surface of the filter medium is provided with a plurality of embossed projections. Preferably, a processed filter medium maintains a zigzag shape by pleating an unprocessed filter medium to create mountain folds and valley folds. Preferably, an air filter unit includes such a processed filter medium and a frame body holding the processed filter medium.

  • Patent number: 8597393
    Abstract: The invention provides a filter pack of which the mass is not increased, and moreover, the effective filter medium area is not reduced, and of which the pressure drop is sufficiently low, and the strength is sufficiently high, and an air filter using this. A pleated air filter pack is configured in such a way that dot embossed projections are provided on front and rear surfaces of a filter medium made of a non-woven fabric, the filter medium is folded in zigzag shape along creases of pleats, and the opposing embossed projections are brought into contact with each other when the filter medium is folded, thus maintaining the intervals between the filter media.
