  • Patent number: 12111117
    Abstract: A double pipe for a heat exchanger includes an inner pipe disposed in an outer pipe. In a straight-pipe portion of the double pipe, the inner pipe has a plurality of protruding parts extending in a helically offset manner along a longitudinal direction, an inner-circumferential surface of the outer pipe directly contacts the protruding parts, and outer-side channels are partitioned at a plurality of locations in a circumferential direction of the double pipe. The protruding parts are curved to protrude radially outward. In a cross section of the straight-pipe portion orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the inner-circumferential surface of the outer pipe is circular, and an average value of D/L values of all the outer-side channels is 0.09-0.20, wherein D is defined as a maximum depth of each of the outer-side channels and L is defined as an arc length of each of the outer-side channels in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 12080900
    Abstract: A power storage device includes a power storage module and a pair of conductive plates configured to sandwich the power storage module. The power storage module has an electrode laminate and a sealing body configured to seal the electrode laminate. The electrode laminate includes a plurality of laminated bipolar electrodes and a pair of terminal electrodes. The pair of terminal electrodes is disposed at laminate ends of the electrode laminate and each includes an electrode plate. The sealing body has a pair of resin portions provided at the edge portions of the terminal electrodes. At least one conductive plate of the pair of conductive plates is disposed to oppose the terminal electrode in the laminating direction of the electrode laminate and to overlap a corresponding resin portion of the pair of resin portions when seen in the laminating direction.

  • Publication number: 20240250658
    Abstract: An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate including a piezoelectric layer, and IDT electrodes on the piezoelectric substrate and including curved IDT electrodes. A direction in which a portion of the electrode finger with a curved shape in the curved IDT electrode is convex is an outer side direction. Acoustic wave resonators include first and second acoustic wave resonators including first and second curved IDT electrodes, respectively. The first and second acoustic wave resonators are connected without another acoustic wave resonator interposed therebetween. When one of the directions in which electrode fingers are arranged is a first direction and a direction opposite to the first direction is a second direction, the outer side direction in the first IDT electrode is the first direction, and the outer side direction of the second IDT electrode is the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20220290925
    Abstract: An inner pipe (2) is designed for a heat-transferring double pipe that exchanges heat between a fluid that flows through the interior of the inner pipe and a fluid that flows between the inner pipe and an outer pipe (10) that surrounds the inner pipe. The inner pipe has a first region (21) and a second region (22), which have transverse cross-sectional shapes that differ. The first region has a plurality of first protruding parts (211) that protrude outward and form a first recess-protrusion shape in which locations of the first protruding parts are offset helically in a longitudinal direction. The second region has a plurality of second protruding parts (221) that protrude outward and form a second recess-protrusion shape, in which locations of the second protruding parts are offset helically in the longitudinal direction. The number of second protruding parts is greater than the number of first protruding parts.
