Abstract: A stacked type fluid heater includes a first low temperature layer with low temperature side flow passages into which target medium to be heated is introduced, a first high temperature layer with high temperature side flow passages into which heating medium for heating the target medium to be heated is introduced, a second high temperature layer with high temperature side flow passages into which the heating medium is introduced. The target medium has a temperature lower than the freezing point of the heating medium. The first high temperature layer includes the high temperature side flow passages located adjacent each other via a metal material of the first high temperature layer. The high temperature side flow passages of the first high temperature layer and those of the second high temperature layer are adjacent each other via a metal material of the second high temperature layer.

Abstract: Provided is a fluid circulation device capable of preventing that efficiency of a treatment by a fluid circulation is significantly lowered, even in a case where a blockage has occurred in a micro-channel, to prevent lowering of an operating rate. The fluid circulation device 1 is provided with a structure body 2 comprising: a plural number of second flow passages 22 extended in a direction, and at the same time, arranged so as to be lined up in a direction intersecting the direction, each for circulating a second fluid; and introduction part-communicating parts 75, first to third communicating parts 78, 79 and 80 for linking second flow passages 22 adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction of the plural number of second flow passages 22 to allow communicating with each other; formed therein.

Abstract: A flow passage structure is provided with a fluid flow passage that includes a plurality of straight flow passages, a first return bend that connects the downstream end of the straight flow passage through which a fluid flows from a second end surface toward a first end surface among the plurality of straight flow passages to the upstream end of the straight flow passage which is disposed at the downstream side of the straight flow passage and is adjacent to the straight flow passage, and a second return bend that connects the downstream end of the straight flow passage through which the fluid flows from the first end surface toward the second end surface among the plurality of straight flow passages to the upstream end of the straight flow passage which is disposed at the downstream side of the straight flow passage and is adjacent to the straight flow passage.

Abstract: A hydrogen gas cooling method is provided. The method includes a preparation step and a cooling step. In the preparation step, a heat exchanger that contains a layered body of a first layer and a second layer is prepared. The first layer has a plurality of first micro channels, and the second layer has a plurality of second micro channels. In the cooling step, hydrogen gas is cooled by exchanging heat between the hydrogen gas flowing in the first channels with brine flowing in the second channels.

Abstract: A reactor includes respective first and second introduction passages for introducing first and second reactants, a merging passage in which the first reactant merges with the second reactant, and a reaction passage in which the two merged reactants react with each other. First and second introduction grooves respectively constituting part of the first and second introduction passages are formed in a first surface of the base of the flow path structure of the reactor, while a reaction groove constituting part of the reaction passage is formed in a second surface of the base. A merging hole constituting part of the merging passage runs from the first surface of the base to the second surface thereof. The downstream end of the first introduction groove and the downstream end of the second introduction groove merge at the merging hole from different directions.

Abstract: Provided is a reactor which makes it possible to increase the uniformity of mixing of the reactants therein. The reactor is provided with a flow path structure having internal reactant flow passages including: a first introduction passage for the introduction of a first reactant, a second introduction passage for the introduction of a second reactant, a merging passage for causing the first reactant flowing through the first introduction passage to merge with the second reactant flowing through the second introduction passage, and a reaction passage for causing the two reactants which were merged in the merging passage to react with each other while the reactants are flowing.
