Abstract: Solid biomass having a moisture content in a range of 30 to 95 mass % is brought into contact with ammonia gas at a pressure in a range of 0.5 to 4 MPa and held at 50 to 200 degrees C. Subsequently, the solid biomass is rapidly decompressed to be blasted. The ammonia gas evaporated by decompression is recovered and recycled. The ammonia gas can be brought into contact with the entire solid biomass evenly and in a short time. Since absorption heat of the ammonia gas is generated, energy consumption required for additional heating can be reduced.

Abstract: A cooling system (10) comprises a first (40) and a second (50) cold storage tank, a first refrigerator (41) cooling water in the first cold storage tank (40), a first thermal load (92) disposed in a first circulating passage (43) extending from the lower to the upper part of the first cold storage (40), a second thermal load (93) warmer than the first thermal load (92) disposed in a second circulating passage (44a) also extending from the lower to the upper part of the first cold storage tank, a second cold storage tank (50) disposed in the second circulating passage, a second refrigerator (51) cooling water fed from the upper part of the second cold storage (50), wherein a cooling output temperature of the second refrigerator (51) is set to be higher than that of the first refrigerator (41).

Abstract: A flooded evaporator is provided which can remove floating mist more exactly resulting in that the refrigerant mist is prevented from being sucked into the compressor, and with which heat transfer between the medium to be cooled and refrigerant liquid is improved.

Abstract: An evaporative-cooling condensation type ammonia refrigeration unit with leaked ammonia gas removing means is provided. Recovery of a leaked ammonia gas is conducted taking advantage of a high solubility of ammonia in water, wherein the leaked ammonia gas is dissolved in a cooling water used for an evaporative condenser. The construction of the unit is characterized by including an ammonia absorptive structure in a gas/liquid countercurrent mode provided in a space on the lower side of the evaporative condenser accommodated in an upper chamber.

Abstract: The present inventions are intended to improve heat efficiency of a refrigeration system having plural refrigerating cycles of different evaporating or condensing temperatures typically used in breweries. Each of main lines of different evaporating temperatures are connected with each of suction lines to a compressor respectively, to enable the system to save energy and to establish a back-up system of compressors. A different condensing temperature system having a common refrigerant source is provided with refrigerant transferring means to transfer refrigerant from an refrigerant excess cycle to an refrigerant insufficiency cycle.

Abstract: A multi-layered granule comprises an inner, slow-releasing layer, an outer, rapid-releasing layer and an intermediate layer provided between said slow-releasing layer and said rapid-releasing layer which intermediate layer comprises a hardened oil and hydroxypropyl cellulose or methyl cellulose.

Abstract: An inclusion compound composed of tripamide and cyclodextrin markedly improves the solubility of tripamide which is effective for treatment of essential hypertension.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for sealing a body and a cap of a capsule which comprises successively dipping a gelatin hard capsule containing drugs one by one in a mixed solvent of water and ethanol whose volume ratio to water is 50-55%, thereafter taking said capsule out of this solvent and drying each capsule separately.
