Patent number: 9791216Abstract: An object is to enable a compact and high output heat storage system to perform warm-up rapidly when a vehicle is started up, and after warm-up, to recover surplus heat that is present in a heat source in the vehicle to prepare for the next warm-up event. A heat recovery-type heating device includes: an ammonia buffer configured so as to be capable of fixing and desorbing ammonia that serves as a chemical reaction medium; and a chemical heat storage reactor provided with a chemical heat storage material that generates heat through a chemical reaction with ammonia supplied from the ammonia buffer, and that desorbs ammonia using surplus heat from a heat source and returns the ammonia to the ammonia buffer.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHOInventors: Takafumi Yamauchi, Takashi Shimazu, Tsutomu Shinagawa, Shuzou Sanda

Patent number: 9309918Abstract: When temperature of lubricating oil is raised at a time of low-temperature, of an outer peripheral side of a radial plain bearing in a bearing retaining unit, heat is not supplied from a heating medium in a thermal medium flow path on the outer peripheral side of a halved bearing metal in a bearing retaining unit body, which has a large thermal capacity, and instead, heat is supplied from the heating medium in the thermal medium flow path on the outer peripheral side of a halved bearing metal in the cap, which has a small thermal capacity.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHOInventors: Shuzou Sanda, Takashi Shimazu, Yasuhiro Ohmiya, Yoshihiro Hotta
