  • Patent number: 11608903
    Abstract: A valve device includes: a ball valve having a ball face shaped in a convex spherical surface; and a valve seat having a seat face shaped in a concave spherical surface. The seat face is pressed onto the ball face. The ball valve is rotated to open a valve by communicating a valve opening defined in the ball valve and a seat opening defined in the valve seat with each other, and to close the valve by stop the communication. A diameter of the seat opening ?2 is smaller than a diameter of the valve opening ?1. A curvature radius of the ball face R1 is smaller than or equal to a curvature radius of the seat face is R2.

  • Publication number: 20100326635
    Abstract: A heat-exchanging device employed in a heat generator casing with a small installation area. The heat-exchanging device includes a heat exchanger, a first air blower, and a second air blower in a first case. The first case includes a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet. The first outlet is disposed in a direction different from a direction facing the first inlet. The second outlet is disposed in a direction different from a direction facing the second inlet. A first path where a first fluid flows and a second path where a second fluid flows cross in the heat exchanger. Heat is exchanged between the first fluid and the second fluid. The first air blower establishes a first passage where the first fluid flows from the first inlet to the first outlet via the first path. The second air blower establishes a second passage where the second fluid flows from the second inlet to the second outlet via the second path.

  • Publication number: 20090101304
    Abstract: A heat exchange type cooling device includes an enclosure, an inside-air passage allowing inside air in the inside of the enclosure to flow through the inside-air passage and returning the flowing inside air to the inside, an outside-air passage allowing outside air at the outside of the enclosure to flow through the outside-air passage and returning the flowing outside air to the outside, an inside-air blower sending the inside air to the inside-air passage, an outside-air blower sending the outside air to the outside-air passage, a heat-exchanging element exchanging heat between the outside air flowing through the outside-air passage and the inside air flowing through the inside-air passage, and a heater for heating the inside air. The outside-air passage is independent from the inside-air passage. The heater is provided upstream of the heat-exchanging element in the inside-air passage.
