Abstract: A supercharging device for an engine is provided, which includes a supercharger provided to an intake passage of the engine, an actuator configured to drive the supercharger, and a controller including a processor configured to control the actuator to drive the supercharger when an operating state of the engine is in a given supercharging range, and to stop the supercharger when the operating state is in a non-supercharging range. The controller causes the actuator to forcibly drive the supercharger in the non-supercharging range when a temperature of the supercharger is lower than a preset temperature, and prohibits the forcible drive of the supercharger when a rotation speed of the supercharger during the forcible drive of the supercharger is lower than a preset rotation speed.

Abstract: The life of a sacrificial anode for use in a pump device, such as a seawater pump, is extended, thus extending the life of a corrosion protection system of the seawater pump device. A pump device includes corrosion system including: a measurement unit located at a portion of a column pipe to be immersed into seawater; and a temperature control device located at an installation site of the pump device. In this corrosion protection system, a sacrificial anode electrically conductive with the column pipe and capable of being controlled in temperature is attached through a heating/cooling unit and a thermal conduction sheet to the column pipe. The temperature control device is configured to control, based on the temperature of the sacrificial anode measured by the measurement unit, the temperature of the sacrificial anode using the heating/cooling unit attached through the thermal conduction sheet to the sacrificial anode.
