Abstract

[Problem] To provide a spray rotator which can evenly clean the inside of a tank and which can be easily attached to any tank. [Solution] This spray rotator disposed inside a tank for cleaning the inside of the tank is provided with a plurality of cleaning injection holes formed in a rotator body that rotates. A part or all of the plurality of cleaning injection holes have different injection angles in an elevation angle direction. Furthermore, in a plane centered on a rotation axis, the cleaning injection holes are drilled in a side wall of the rotator body in a manner as to be inclined in a prescribed rotation angle direction with respect to a straight line orthogonal to the rotation axis. When cleaning is performed while rotating the spray rotator body, a plurality of water columns injected from the respective cleaning injection holes are sprinkled in an elevation angle direction of the upper hemisphere inside the tank.

Abstract

This sealing structure (1) comprises: a one-side member (20) having a first sealing surface (22); an annular sealing groove (40) provided in the first sealing surface (22); a sealing member (10) to be attached to the sealing groove (40); and an other-side member (20) which is disposed so as to be opposed to the one-side member (20) and which has a second sealing surface (32) to be brought into abutment with the sealing member (10) to thereby form a sealing structure. The sealing member (10) includes a first sealing member (11) and a second sealing member (12) more resilient than the first sealing member (11). The second sealing member (12) is covered with the first sealing member (11) such that the second sealing member (12) is not exposed to the second sealing surface (32) side in a state of being attached to the sealing groove (40). According to this configuration, it is possible to provide a sealing structure and a sealing member in which the anti-radical properties of the sealing member (10) can be further improved.

Abstract

This gasket is provided with outer cuts (4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4) in a non-restrained portion (2-2) disposed adjacent to a restrained portion (2-1) that is restrained between flanges (16-1, 16-2). The outer cuts change shape due to a load exerted on the restrained portion. The shapes of the outer cuts that have undergone a change under the aforementioned load are measured, and clamping of the gasket is controlled on the basis of the measured shapes. Accordingly, it is possible to directly observe a change in the shape of a gasket that is subjected to a load between flanges and to use the observation result for the purpose of controlling the clamping of the gasket so as to improve the gasket and control technology therefor.

Abstract

The present invention has an inner cut (4) in a non-restrained part (2-2) that is adjacent to a restrained part (2-1) that is restrained between flanges (16-1, 16-2), and the shape of the inner cut changes as a result of the load applied to the restrained part. Minimum information can be obtained from the change in shape of the inner cut. Thus, the change in shape of a gasket that is subjected to a load between flanges is observed directly, and the results of the observation are used in the management of the fastening of the gasket, improving the gasket and the management thereof.

Abstract

Tightening of a gasket (8) held between flanges (6-1, 6-2) is controlled on the basis of a step in which a load due to tightening is applied, a step in which a change in the shape of the gasket generated by the load is observed, and the change in shape. The change in shape includes a change in the gasket in at least the direction of the interval between the flanges, or a change in a direction orthogonal to the interval direction, or both of said changes. Thus, if a change in the shape of the gasket receiving the load is observed, tightening of the gasket can be controlled.

Abstract

This air conditioning method comprises: the step of activating an air conditioning device (6) and an air evacuation device (12) to evacuate air into an air evacuation passage (8) formed in a portion of a room defining a space (4), or into an air evacuation passage connected to the room defining the space, so that the air evacuated via the air evacuation passage flows in a circulation path (18); the step of catching the activation for the air conditioning device or for the air evacuation device, to activate a UV treatment device (10); the step wherein the UV treatment device irradiates a plurality of ultraviolet lights having different wavelengths onto the air in the air evacuation passage or in the circulation path; and the step of flowing the air irradiated with the ultraviolet lights from the air conditioning device into the space. In this manner, conversion of oxygen in the air into ozone and activation of ozone are used in combination, allowing for a high degree of measures against infection.

Abstract

The present invention addresses a problem of providing a composite seal material that has performances, such as a vacuum sealing performance, plasma resistance, and corrosive gas resistance, in combination, that does not require a strong pressing force during use, that does not have a possibility of generating particles, and that is capable of maintaining the vacuum sealing performance for a long period of time. Characteristics of a solution to the problem is a composite seal material having an annular shape and including a first member and a second member adjacent to each other on left and right. The first member includes a seal body portion, and a lip portion extending from the seal body portion upwardly in the thickness direction of the composite seal material. The lip portion of the first member extends in an inclined orientation outwardly on a side opposite to the second member adjacent thereto.
