  • Patent number: 8511261
    Abstract: Disclosed is a piston cooling device wherein the cooling efficiency of a piston is improved by oil injected from an oil jet and supplied to a cooling passage provided in the piston, and the amount of cooling oil is reduced when an internal combustion engine is operated at maximum output. The piston cooling device is provided with a piston for an internal combustion engine, in which a circumferential passage and a cooling passage having an inlet passage and an outlet passage are provided, and an oil jet for injecting oil from an injection port to the inlet passage. The oil jet injects oil at every stroke of the piston so that a two-phase plug flow composed of gas and oil is formed in the cooling passage at least when an internal combustion engine is operated at maximum output.

  • Patent number: 4971141
    Abstract: A jet stream injection device for use in a heat exchanger of a fluidized-bed type in which a flat jet stream is injected toward a heat transmission coil of the heat exchanger from below this coil so that is runs along said cell so as to form a mixed-phase flow of a gas and solid particles around the heat transmission coil. The jet stream injection device has a net with meshes smaller than the size of the particles of a fluidized bed provided over an opening provided on the upstream side of a jet stream generating slit-shaped injection port element. The opening has a larger passage sectional area than the injection port element.
