摘要:
In a combustion heater, at the time of ignition, a fuel supply amount is increased in a stepwise fashion. On the other hand, at the time of extinction, the fuel supply amount is decreased in a stepwise fashion. The fuel supply amount is increased stepwise using different fuel increasing amounts or different fuel increasing periods, both depending on heat quantities generated by a burner at respective fuel increasing time points. At the time of extinction, the fuel supply amount and an air supply amount are both reduced to given values, respectively, and held at the given values for a given time period. After lapse of the given time period, the fuel supply amount is reduced to zero, while the air supply amount is held at the given value for a further given time period. The air supply amount is changed with a given time delay relative to a change of the fuel supply amount. The time delay may be adjusted depending on a temperature in the burner.

In a combustion heater, a fuel feed unit supplies a fuel uniformly into a burner so as to prevent incomplete combustion in the burner. When a vaporization member is provided in the burner, the fuel feed unit supplies the fuel uniformly all over the surface of the vaporization member so that the incomplete combustion in the burner is also prevented. In addition or alternatively, the fuel feed unit includes a fuel feed pipe and a valve unit which is provided at a tip portion of the fuel feed pipe, so as to prevent emissions of an unburned fuel. In addition or alternatively, a temperature of the fuel supplied to the burner is monitored, and an operation of the fuel feed unit or an air feed unit for supplying combustion air to the burner is controlled based on the monitored fuel temperature so as to provide a desirable air-fuel mixture for preventing incomplete combustion in the burner. An amount of the fuel supplied to the burner or an oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas after combustion in the burner may be monitored instead of the fuel temperature.

A fuel burning heater comprises a housing 1 provided with a fluid passage 13 defined in a wall thereof, and a burner 2 accommodated in an inside space of the housing 1 to heat fluid filled in the fluid passage 13. A fuel supply device 3 supplies fuel into the burner 2. An air supply device 4, including an air supply pipe 41, supplies air into the burner 2. An exhaust gas circulating device 5 circulates exhaust gas, produced in the burner 2 by combustion of air-fuel mixture, to the air supply pipe 41. A control unit 7 increases an amount of the exhaust gas circulated by the exhaust gas circulating device 5 when an amount of fuel supplied by the fuel supply device 3 is reduced.

A catalytic combustion type heater set so as to reduce the exhaust emission at the time of ignition and the time of extinguishment by, at the time of ignition, providing a precombustion period and making the amounts of the fuel and air fed larger than the air-fuel ratio of the steady combustion period to prevent incomplete combustion and by, at the time of extinguishment, stopping the feeding of fuel and feeding only air in an amount lower than that before the fuel stops being fed so as to completely burn the remaining fuel, then feeding purging air.

A monitoring circuit of the present invention provides a monitor signal with which a magnitude of a current flowing across a photodetector, such as a photodiode, can be calculated accurately over a wide temperature range on the basis of a value of the monitor signal. The monitoring circuit of the present invention includes: a current mirror circuit for outputting a monitor current proportional to an input current, the current mirror circuit having an input point for receiving the input current, the input point being connected to a photodetector and a load resistor, which are connected thereto in parallel; and an output circuit for outputting a monitor signal indicating a difference between a monitor electric potential proportional to the monitor current, and an offset electric potential proportional to an offset current which flows across the load resistor concurrently with the monitor current.

In order to isolate and purify an endohedral fullerene, a solvent washing was performed using toluene to concentrate the endohedral fullerene in a residual, but endohedral fullerene could not be efficiently purified because impurities other than the endohedral fullerene could not be sufficiently removed. Thus, the endohedral fullerene is isolated and purified by using a solvent such as chloronaphthalene or tetralin having a high solubility for the endohedral fullerene and concentrating the endohedral fullerene in the solvent. The endohedral fullerene isolated and purified by solvent extraction has a cluster structure where the endohedral fullerene is surrounded with empty fullerenes. Thus, this endohedral fullerene is highly stable and is a useful material applicable to various fields such as medical care and electronics.

A light-receiving element device capable of receiving near infrared to mid-infrared light of 1.7 μm-3.5 μm is provided. A substrate is formed of InP, and a superlattice light-receiving layer is formed of a superlattice of a type 2 junction formed by alternately being stacked a falling layer of a Group III-V compound semiconductor including In, Ga, As, N and a rising layer of a Group III-V compound semiconductor including Ga, As, Sb. The film thickness of the falling layer and the rising layer is each 3 nm-10 nm. The entire thickness of the superlattice light-receiving layer is 2 μm-7 μm. The lattice mismatch of the constituent film of the superlattice light-receiving layer to InP is ±0.2% or less.

A peak voltage detector circuit detects a peak voltage of an input voltage. The input voltage is input into a first input terminal of a comparator. A counter circuit counts up a counter value in synchronization with a first clock signal, when a signal output from the comparator is in a first state. The counter circuit counts down the counter value in synchronization with a second clock signal. A digital-analog conversion circuit outputs an output voltage corresponding to the counter value, and the output voltage is input into a second input terminal of the comparator. The first clock signal has a wave period shorter than that of the second clock signal.
