摘要:
A shaft-seal device for high-temperature fluid including a seal case (2) formed as a metallic cylindrical structure of a single unit and comprised of a main body portion (2a, 2b, 2c), first and second holding portions (2d, 2e), first and second partition portions (2f, 2h), a channel formation portion (2g) forming a minute annular channel (27) with the outer circumference surface of a rotary shaft (1), and an o-ring holding portion (2i). The seal case is installed in an apparatus housing (8) with first and second o-rings (2m, 2n) in between. The intra-seal case region (A1), in which sealing rings (31, 32, 41, 42, 51, 52) of mechanical seals (3, 4, 5) are provided, and the high-temperature fluid region, which is an intra-apparatus housing region (A), are partitioned by a cooling chamber (28) into and from which coolant (82) is supplied and discharged via feed/discharge coolant paths (80, 81).
摘要:
A cleaner-less image forming method includes forming an electrostatic latent image on a electrostatic latent image carrying member; developing the electrostatic latent image with a developer comprising a toner and a carrier to form a toner image; and transferring the toner image. The carrier has a median of an arithmetic average height distribution of from 0.45 to 0.65 μm, and the toner includes an external additive and has an average circularity of 0.975 or more.
摘要:
The present invention provides a static pressure type non-contact gas seal which, even when supply of seal gas 6 to the space between sealing end surfaces 3a and 4a has stopped unexpectedly, can be safely used with no possibility that the sealing end surfaces 3a and 4a collide severely against each other and consequently the sealing end surfaces 3a and 4a are damaged or destructed. In this static pressure type non-contact gas seal, the seal gas 6 is supplied to the space between the sealing end surfaces 3a and 4a from a seal gas passage 5, thereby generating an opening force that acts on the stationary sealing ring 4 in a direction that the space between the sealing end surfaces 3a and 4a is opened. An annular-spaced back pressure chamber 25 blocked by two O-rings 12 and 13 is formed between the facing peripheral surfaces of a seal case 1 and the stationary sealing ring 4, to introduce the seal gas 6 to be supplied to the seal gas passage 5 into the back pressure chamber 25, thereby generating a closing force that maintain the balance with the opening force, as a back pressure acting on the stationary sealing ring 4. A spring is not used as a means for generating the closing force.

A rotary valve comprising sliding members for supplying treatment gas containing water vapor to a plurality of treatment processes is provided. The rotary valve comprises sliding members (1, 2; 4, 6), through which open flow passages (8, 9, 10), having sliding surfaces slidable to each other and a mechanical seal mechanism for switching the flow passages (8, 9, 10) while sealing fluid by preliminarily pressing the sliding surfaces, wherein the sliding surface of each sliding members (1, 2; 4, 6) is made of hydrophobic material (2, 4) different in hardness from the other.
摘要:
A balance ratio for a stationary seal ring is designed to allow a seal face to be opened when, with a rotary seal ring at standstill, steam of a predetermined pressure is supplied to an endo-fluid region while a sealing-fluid region is brought into an exhausting state. On the other hand, an O-ring constituting a secondary seal portion is retained by a groove formed in a flange portion of a seal case, thereby preventing a force on the O-ring from affecting the stationary seal ring even when the steam is supplied to the endo-fluid region.
摘要:
A data recording medium having a well-recognizable recording layer which reversibly changes in degree of light scattering when externally stimulated. One embodiment of the data recording medium of the present invention comprises (a) a visible data recording layer, the degree of light scattering of which reversibly changes when externally stimulated, (b) a transparent substrate layer, (c) a low refractive layer having a lower refractive index than the transparent substrate layer, (d) a colored substrate layer and (e) a magnetic recording layer, laminated in this order. Another embodiment of the data recording medium comprises (a) a visible data recording layer, (b) a first transparent substrate layer, (c) a low refractive layer, (d) a second transparent substrate layer and (e) a colored magnetic recording layer, laminated in this order. Still another embodiment of the data recording medium comprises (a) a visible data recording layer, (b) a light reflective layer, (c) a magnetic recording layer and (d) a substrate layer. In the data recording medium, the visible data recording layer preferably comprises a liquid crystal polymer. The recording layer may have a protective layer laminated thereon.
