Publication number: 20120234517Abstract: An intermediate heat exchanger 10 includes a double tube 11 and a liquid reservoir 14. The double tube 11 has an outer tube 15 and an inner tube 16 disposed inside the outer tube 15 with a clearance formed therebetween. The clearance between the outer tube 15 and the inner tube serves as a high-temperature-side refrigerant passage 12, through which refrigerant of high pressure flowing out of a condenser flows, and the interior of the inner tube 16 serves as a low-temperature-side refrigerant passage 13, through which refrigerant of low pressure flowing out of an evaporator flows. The liquid reservoir 14, which communicates with the high-temperature-side refrigerant passage 12 of the double tube 11, stores the refrigerant of high pressure flowing out of the condenser before the pressure of the refrigerant is reduced by a pressure reducer, and separate liquid-phase refrigerant and gas-phase refrigerant.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2010Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: SHOWA DENKO K.K.Inventors: Noboru Ogasawara, Tatsuya Hanafusa, Makoto Numasawa

Patent number: 8132439Abstract: An effective thread number in the thread section which is disposed on the mouth section of the bottle is formed to be 2.2. That is, the thread section is formed such that the thread section 13 should serve effectively in the mouth section such that an interval between a start position and an end position should be 2.0 to 2.5. In the bottle can member 11 which has such a thread section, an outer diameter of the thread section which is formed on the mouth section is 28 to 38 mm. Also, the thickness of the mouth section is 0.25 to 0.4 mm. The thread section which has the effective thread number 2.0 to 2.5 is formed by eight-thread per inch pitch. By doing this, it is possible to put the cap desirably.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Universal Can CorporationInventors: Tatsuya Hanafusa, Ryoichi Ito, Masahiro Hosoi, Naoki Tasaka

Patent number: 7219717Abstract: An evaporator including an evaporator core having a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet in one side portion thereof, and a connecting member joined to the side portion of the core and having in its interior a refrigerant inlet channel and a refrigerant outlet channel. The connecting member includes first and second plates. The second plate has an inlet channel recessed portion and an outlet channel recessed portion provided, each in the bottom wall thereof, with an inlet pipe connecting opening and an outlet pipe connecting opening, respectively. The first plate has on the outer surface thereof a refrigerant flow smoothing projection projecting toward the inlet pipe connecting opening. Refrigerant flowing into the inlet channel flows along the projection surface, thereby changes its flow direction smoothly and is less likely to produce a turbulent flow. The evaporator is therefore adapted to prevent occurrence of noises due to refrigerant flow.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Showa Denko K.K.Inventor: Tatsuya Hanafusa
