  • Publication number: 20070062677
    Abstract: A heat exchanger having excellent heat exchanging performance is obtainable by a simple production technique and at a low cost. This is achieved by providing a fin member and by increasing heat conductivity between the fin member and a meandering pipe body. Further, the heat exchanger is made compact for high degrees of layout freedom, enabling the heat exchanger to be installed in a tight space. Engagement grooves are provided in both end surfaces, which are opposite to each other, of a fin member in which fins are parallel arranged. Straight pipe sections are parallelly arranged, with gaps in between, in the engagement grooves of the fin member. The straight pipe sections a are connected at bent sections. A pair of meandering sections is arranged opposite to each other with an insertion gap of the fin member in between. On of the meandering sections and the other meandering section are connected by a connection pipe to form a meandering pipe main body.

  • Patent number: 7093650
    Abstract: It is an object of this invention to obtain a heat conduction pipe superior in corrosion resistance as well as heat exchange efficiency between fluid flowing respectively through an inside and an outside for great heat radiation property and endothermic characteristics. It is also object of this invention to form the heat conduction pipe superior in the corrosion resistance as well as the heat radiation property and endothermic characteristics at inexpensive price. To achieve the above, at least single resin coating layer is formed on an outer circumferential surface of a metal pipe, a metal fin member is spirally wound on an outer circumferential surface of the resin coating layer with a side end surface the metal fin member in contact. The winding contact portion is made to encroach a surface of the resin coating layer to form the heat conduction pipe.

  • Publication number: 20050284447
    Abstract: A joint structure connects a diverging branch pipe to a fuel rail for an internal combustion engine. The fuel rail is stainless steel or steel with rust prevention processing on at least the inner face. The diverging branch pipe is a double pipe with inner and outer pipes. The inner pipe has excellent rust preventing ability with respect to fuel on its inner face in comparison with the outer face of the outer pipe. The inner and outer pipes are connected by a nut for fastening through a joint fitting. A connecting seal portion of the diverging branch pipe and the joint fitting has rust preventing ability equal to that of the inner circumferential face of the diverging branch pipe. An entire liquid contact portion, including a seal face of the diverging branch pipe with respect to the fuel is covered with the inner pipe.

  • Publication number: 20040030123
    Abstract: A method for producing a molecular compound which comprises mixing and kneading a solid host compound and a solid or liquid guest compound by using a kneader and optionally followed by extruding and granulating, wherein the method further comprises one or more of the steps of holding the product at a temperature which is 50° C. or higher and not higher than the emission temperature for the guest compound, washing the formed molecular compound with a solvent capable of dissolving the guest compound, pulverizing in advance the solid host compound, and adding a poor solvent such as water prior to mixing and kneading. The method allows the production of a molecular compound having improved stability.

  • Patent number: 6011634
    Abstract: A portable facsimile equipment in which document data to be transmitted can be displayed on an LCD display. When it is desired for a communication module to transmit document data obtained through a document module or a scanner module, the document data to be transmitted can be displayed on the LCD display. When it is desired to display image data read out by a scanner and stored in a RAM on the LCD display; the image data having a resolution of 8 lines/mm read out by the scanner and stored in the RAM is converted to data having a resolution of 3 lines/mm for display thereof on the LCD display. Further, the communication module performs its communication with a wired line through a modular connector provided at a side of an LCD board, and the received information is displayed on the LCD display.
