  • Patent number: 10746305
    Abstract: A compressor system includes: a compressor including a rotor that rotates around an axis and a bearing device that supports the rotor; a lubricant tank in which a lubricant is stored; a lubricant supply line through which the lubricant is supplied from the lubricant tank to the bearing device; a lubricant return line through which the lubricant is returned from the bearing device to the lubricant tank; and a seal gas supply line through which a seal gas supplied to the compressor flows and is introduced to the compressor via an inside of the lubricant tank.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2020

  • Patent number: 9631752
    Abstract: An expansion joint that is provided between a steam turbine outlet and a condenser inlet, including: an upstream baffle tube that has one end secured to an upstream fixing end and the other end as a free end, and forms a steam channel; a downstream baffle tube that has one end secured to a downstream fixed end and the other end as a free end, the free end being relatively movable outside the free end of the upstream baffle tube; and a flexible cylinder that is formed of a non-metal material using a resin sheet, and deformable while airtightly surrounding the baffle tubes.

  • Patent number: 8251130
    Abstract: A gas leak detecting system for a gas cooler includes, a gas cooler (1) for cooling a gas, which is supplied to and discharged from the interior of a cooler water chamber (2) via piping, with a coolant supplied to and discharged from the interior of the cooler water chamber; an automatic exhaust valve (12) for automatically discharging the gas, which has leaked into the cooler water chamber, to the outside; a gas leak detecting vessel (8) for accumulating a leakage gas discharged from the automatic exhaust valve; and a gas detecting device (13) for detecting the leakage gas within the gas leak detecting vessel.

  • Publication number: 20100059124
    Abstract: A gas leak detecting system for a gas cooler, which can detect gas leakage continuously by a simple-structured system, and can ensure a fail-safe backup system against troubles by such a simple system, is provided. The gas leak detecting system comprises a gas cooler (1) for cooling a gas, which is supplied to and discharged from the interior of a cooler water chamber (2) via piping, with a coolant supplied to and discharged from the interior of the cooler water chamber; an automatic exhaust valve (12) for automatically discharging the gas, which has leaked into the cooler water chamber, to the outside; a gas leak detecting vessel (8) for accumulating a leakage gas discharged from the automatic exhaust valve; and a gas detecting device (13) for detecting the leakage gas within the gas leak detecting vessel.
