  • Patent number: 11970003
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid ejection apparatus, liquid ejection method, dispensing apparatus, and compound introduction apparatus capable of inhibiting contamination of a liquid after being ejected. The liquid ejection apparatus has an ejection unit having an ejection part and an ejection energy generation element that ejects a liquid from the ejection part by using a principle of inkjet ejection into an internal space in a storage part capable of storing the ejected liquid. When ejecting the liquid, the ejection unit covers an opening portion of the storage part to thereby screen the internal space in the storage part from an external space.

  • Patent number: 8500886
    Abstract: Exhaust gas after coal or oil burning has moisture, which hinders carbon dioxide adsorption. It is necessary to completely remove this moisture with the minimum use of energy. The exhaust gas from the burning apparatus is first lowered of its temperature by passing through an total heat exchanger rotor, and the resultant gas which has low temperature and humidity is sent to a carbon dioxide adsorption rotor, thereby removing carbon dioxide from the gas, which is then sent through the total heat exchanger rotor with the resultant desorption of moisture adsorbed there and is exhausted to outside atmosphere, while the carbon dioxide adsorption rotor is desorbed of its carbon dioxide using water vapor, with the resultant very humid carbon dioxide to be sent to a processing system such as for underground burial.

  • Patent number: 6055824
    Abstract: A method and device refrigerate a fluid by adding a volatile liquid mist to a flow of a gas to saturate the gas with vapor of the volatile liquid, to cause a large amount of misty minute liquid drops of the volatile liquid to float in the gas and to form a cooling gas. The cooling gas is directed through a first flow passage of a heat exchanger having first and second flow passages. The fluid to be refrigerated is directed through the second flow passage of the heat exchanger, so that heat from the fluid is transferred to the cooling gas, while the cooling gas passes through the first flow passage of the heat exchanger to elevate the temperature of the cooling gas. A portion of the minute liquid drops floating in the cooling gas are allowed to vaporize due to the elevated temperature of the cooling gas. The temperature of the cooling gas is continuously lowered by the heat of vaporization of the vaporizing minute liquid drops.

  • Patent number: 5827046
    Abstract: A transverse fan includes a pair of end plates each having an annular shape, a plurality of blades annularly disposed between the end plates and a plurality of partition plates each having an annular shape and disposed at intermediate portions of the blades. Each of the partition plates has one side surface to which base ends of the blades are integrally secured to extend forward with a predetermined inclination and form a multi-blade impeller. A plurality of the multi-blade impeller are stacked axially so that each of the partition plates has another one side surface to which leading ends of the blades of adjacent multi-blade impeller are connected, and one of the end plate has one surface to which the leading ends of the blades of a leading end side one of the stacked multi-blade impellers are connected and another one of the end plates has one surface to which the base ends of the blades of a base end side one of the stacked multi-blade impellers is secured.
