  • Publication number: 20210320544
    Abstract: A second wire harness passing under a cooling pipe is restricted by a restricting member to a position outside a plane that passes through a cooling oil hole and is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the cooling pipe. Thus, it is possible to prevent cooling oil released through the cooling oil hole from splashing onto the second wire harness, without having to dispose the second wire harness above the cooling pipe. As the cooling oil released through the cooling oil hole is efficiently supplied to a first rotating electrical machine, the performance of cooling the first rotating electrical machine is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 10981105
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide capturing system according to an embodiment is provided with a reboiler which heats an absorption liquid in a regeneration tower with a heated steam, and condenses the heated steam to generate a downstream side condensed water. The heated steam is supplied to the reboiler by an upstream side line. The downstream side condensed water is discharged from the reboiler by a downstream side line. A branched line branches from the upstream side line. The heated steam supplied to the branched line is cooled and condensed by an upstream side cooler, and an upstream side condensed water is generated. A physical quantity of an absorption liquid component in the upstream side condensed water and a physical quantity of an absorption liquid component in the downstream side condensed water are measured by a physical quantity measurement device.
