  • Patent number: 11302464
    Abstract: A chip varistor includes an element body exhibiting varistor characteristics, internal electrodes containing a first electrically conductive material, and an intermediate conductor containing a second electrically conductive material. The intermediate conductor is separated from the internal electrodes in a direction in which the internal electrodes oppose each other, and is disposed between the internal electrodes. At least a part of the intermediate conductor overlaps the internal electrodes in the direction in which the internal electrodes oppose each other. The element body includes a low resistance region in which the second electrically conductive material is diffused. The low resistance region is located between the first and second internal electrodes in the direction in which the first and second internal electrodes oppose each other.

  • Publication number: 20200109711
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a partition plate 20, a refrigerant intake tube 13 and a straightening plate 160, and a shielding plate 180 is provided at a height position between the partition plate 20 and an intake portion 38 of a fixed scroll 30. According to this, refrigerant sucked from the refrigerant intake tube 13 flows toward the partition plate 20 by the straightening plate 160, the refrigerant which flows toward the partition plate 20 collides against the shielding plate 180 before it is sucked by a compression mechanism 170 and therefore, it is possible to prevent refrigerant from coming into contact with the partition plate 20 having high temperature. According to this, the refrigerant is not heated by the partition plate 20, volumetric efficiency is enhanced and high efficiency of the compressor can be realized.
