  • Publication number: 20150372322
    Abstract: Structure for securing hydrogen tank in fuel-cell-type industrial vehicle, wherein said hydrogen tank is characterized in that: a fuel cell unit accommodating a fuel cell is installed in an accommodation compartment for accommodating a battery, the accommodation compartment being provided to a vehicle body; a weight member for weight adjustment and a cross-sectionally cylindrical hydrogen tank are accommodated inside the fuel cell unit; a cross-sectionally-arcuate tank supporting surface that imitates the outer circumferential surface of the hydrogen tank is formed on the top surface of the weight member; and the hydrogen tank is supported on the tank supporting surface and secured by a fixing band provided around the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface of the hydrogen tank.

  • Patent number: 8905726
    Abstract: Provided is a compressor fixation structure that can reduce the occurrence of condensation. In a fixation structure for a compressor that has an electric motor and a compression mechanism provided adjacently to the electric motor and driven by the electric motor, when forming a motor housing for the electric motor and a compression mechanism housing for the compression mechanism separately from each other, a fixation part to be fixed to an object to which the compressor is to be attached is provided in the compression mechanism housing. Consequently, the compression mechanism housing is integrated with the object, and the heat capacity of the compression mechanism including the compression mechanism housing can be assumed to be a larger capacity which includes the heat capacity of the object.

  • Patent number: 8697305
    Abstract: A fuel cell system including a fuel cell, a gas-liquid separator, a tank, an outlet pipe, and an inlet pipe is disclosed. The gas-liquid separator separates off-gas discharged from the fuel cell into water and gas. The tank is capable of containing water separated by the gas-liquid separator. The outlet pipe discharges gas, which is separated by the gas-liquid separator, from the gas-liquid separator. The outlet pipe has a venturi. The inlet pipe draws the water contained in the tank into the venturi. The water contained in the tank is drawn through the inlet pipe into the venturi to be atomized and discharged as atomized water from the outlet pipe.
