  • Publication number: 20130104588
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat exchanger wherein an antibacterial member can be installed at a low cost and without using a dedicated fixing member, a drop in heat exchange efficiency due to the installation of the antibacterial member is prevented, and which can maintain high design flexibility. The disclosed heat exchanger is provided with a heat radiating member comprising at least a plurality of tubes which are arranged in a planar manner and through which a heat exchange medium flows, and the heat exchanger is characterized by being constructed such that a water absorption sheet substrate for holding antibacterial components is partially attached to the heat radiating member, and the antibacterial components can disperse, following the surface of the radiating member, via water components which have been absorbed by the water absorption sheet substrate.

  • Patent number: 8082898
    Abstract: A resonator is provided with a neck portion and a resonator main body. The resonator main body includes a main volume chamber communicated with an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle via the neck portion, and at least one sub-volume chamber directly connected to the main volume chamber. The resonator main body is configured to have both a Helmholtz-resonator functional part whose resonance frequency is determined based on a total volumetric capacity of the resonator main body, substantially corresponding to a summed value of a volume of the main volume chamber and a volume of the sub-volume chamber, and a side-branch-resonator functional part whose resonance frequency is determined based on a longitudinal length of the sub-volume chamber.
