  • Publication number: 20150219332
    Abstract: A heat exchanger tube vibration suppression device and a steam generator are provided. The heat exchanger tube vibration suppression device includes: a plurality of sleeves disposed in a heat exchanger tube with a predetermined gap in relation to an inner surface of the heat exchanger tube so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger tube; and a connecting member that connects the plurality of sleeves so as to be movable between a contracted position at which adjacent sleeves overlap at least partially and an extended position at which the amount of overlap of the adjacent sleeves is minimized. In this way, it is possible to suppress the vibration of the heat exchanger tube appropriately.

  • Publication number: 20120128114
    Abstract: The nuclear fuel storage rack connection structure is used for connecting a plurality of nuclear fuel storage racks which are stored so as to be arrayed and arranged underwater inside a storage pit, with nuclear fuel assemblies being accommodated. The nuclear fuel storage rack connection structure is provided with an engagement receiving portion which is installed on an outer circumference of the nuclear fuel storage rack and which has an engagement hole opened above or an engagement groove. An engagement member is inserted and engaged with the engagement receiving portion in a vertical direction to connect the mutually adjacent nuclear fuel storage racks.

  • Patent number: 5816098
    Abstract: A lifting load attitude controlling system includes a lifting load pivoting clutch (20) provided between a gyro frame (1) and a gimbal frame (6) for connecting and disconnecting therebetween. Also, a resetting rotating clutch is provided between a resetting rotation driving portion constituted of a resetting oblique rotation driving motor (19) for rotating a gimbal (8) upon returning the gimbal (8) at an initial position and a worm gear, and the gimbal (8) for connecting and disconnecting therebetween. Upon obliquely rotating the gimbal for returning to the initial position, the resetting rotating clutch is placed in the engaged or connected state and the lifting load pivoting clutch is placed in the disengaged or disconnected state. When the resetting rotation driving motor (19) is driven at this condition, a gyro moment is generated upon obliquely driving the gimbal toward the gyro frame (1) (lifting jig 4) via a variable constant torque motor (19) between the gyro frame (1) and a gimbal frame (6).
