Abstract

A method of controlling a proportional solenoid valve whose valve opening degree is controlled by excitation of a proportional solenoid includes: generating a driving current (id) that excites a proportional solenoid (28); reversing a polarity of the driving current (id) at a cycle faster than movement of a valve body (18); and controlling the valve opening degree by a current level of the driving current (id). As a result, an alternating magnetic field is generated in the proportional solenoid so that a desired valve opening degree is obtained by the driving current level while obviating the influence of the residual magnetism.

Abstract

This proportional solenoid valve control method, in which a valve opening degree is controlled by excitation of a proportional solenoid (28), comprises the steps of generating a drive current (id) that excites the proportional solenoid (28), reversing the polarity of the drive current (id) in a cycle faster than the movement of a valve body (18), and controlling the valve opening degree via the current level of the drive current (id). The desired valve opening degree is thereby achieved via the level of the drive current (id) while an alternating magnetic field is generated in the proportional solenoid (28) and the effects of residual magnetism are avoided.

Abstract

A burner includes a first burner port that generates a first flame, a gap that surrounds the first burner port, and a plurality of second burner ports that are disposed on either side of the gap, the second burner ports generating second flames to hold the first flame. The first burner port combusts a first mixture (lean mixture) to generate the first flame (lean flame). The first mixture includes air more than fuel gas. A gap that surrounds the first burner port is formed. A plurality of the second burner ports are arranged on either side of the gap. The second burner ports combust a second mixture (rich mixture) to generate the second flames (rich flames) and hold the first flame. The air-fuel ratio of the second mixture is smaller than the first mixture.

Abstract

A combustion apparatus. Combustion means (burner) generates flame by combustion. Air supply means (intake fan) supplies air to the combustion means. Flame current detecting means (FRB) is set at a certain detection position and detects a flame current value included in the flame which is generated by the combustion means. Determination means (control device) determines a distribution where the flame current value that is detected is included for the flame current detecting means. Control means (control device), when the flame current value is not included in a distribution, which is set as normal values, outputs a control command of increasing or decreasing at least one of the supply of the air by the air supply means and the supply of fuel based on a determination result by the determination means.

A first heat medium is circulated in a first circulating path (engine cooling circuit) of a heat source (engine) to cool the heat source down by the first heat medium, and exhaust heat from the heat source is absorbed by the first heat medium. A second heat medium is circulated in a second circulating path (exhaust heat recovering circuit) to exchange heat of exhaust air with the second heat medium, and heat of the first heat medium is exchanged with the second heat medium circulating in the second circulation path. The heat of the second medium to which heat is applied due to these heat exchanges is stored in heat storage means (heat storage tank).

Abstract

A culture chamber which cultivates a culture object by using a culture liquid has a culture space part which houses the culture object together with the culture liquid, an introducing part (an introducing port) which introduces the culture liquid into the culture space part, a discharging part (a discharging port) which discharges the culture liquid from the culture space part, and a flow arrangement part (a vertical wall, a small space part). The flow arrangement part is formed in a side of the introducing part of the culture space part, and causes a liquid flow, which reaches to the discharging part, to the culture liquid introduced into the culture space part from the introducing part by diffusing from inner wall surfaces of the culture space part toward a direction which intersects a virtual line connecting the introducing part and the discharging part.

Abstract

A hot-water supply apparatus is an apparatus which has a primary heat exchanger absorbing sensible heat of combustion exhaust and a secondary heat exchanger absorbing latent heat of the combustion exhaust, and improves a freezing prevention function of the hot-water supply apparatus at a cold period. Further, this apparatus has a temperature detection means (temperature sensors) which detects a freezing prevention temperature, a combustion means (a burner group) which supplies combustion exhaust generated by combustion to the primary and secondary heat exchangers, an air supply means which supplies air to the combustion means, and a control means (a control unit) which makes the combustion means burn and drives the air supply means based on a detected temperature of the temperature detection means. When the temperature detection means detects the freezing prevention temperature, the combustion means is burned for a settled time to heat the primary heat exchanger, and the air supply means is driven to stream air from a side of the primary heat exchanger to the secondary heat exchanger for a given time after a combustion stop of the combustion means. By this, a side of the secondary heat exchanger is heated by remaining heat of the side of the primary heat exchanger.
