Abstract

In an air conditioning system for a railway vehicle, when it is determined that refrigerant has leaked from refrigerant circuits (150A, 150B) on the basis of a detection result from a refrigerant leak detector (180), a control device switches an emergency damper (176d) from an inside air circulation state to an inside air non-circulation state while keeping an indoor fan (162) operating, and when a first fresh damper (172d) is in a non-ventilation state, the control device switches the first fresh damper (172d) from the non-ventilation state to a ventilation state. By controlling an exhaust fan and a second fresh damper (220d), the control device facilitates direct ventilation to a greater extent than when refrigerant is not leaking from the refrigerant circuits (150A, 150B). In direct ventilation, outside air is directly taken into the passenger cabin through a ventilation chamber (210r), while inside air in the passenger cabin is exhausted to the outside (EX) through an exhaust chamber.

Abstract

A metal support structural body is provided on the radially outer side of a phase ring for connecting a rotating electric machine armature winding at a stator end. An insulator ensuring an insulation distance to the ground is interposed between the phase ring and the metal support structural body. Thus, long-term reliability improves as compared to a conventional insulation-to-ground structure. Since the insulation distance to the ground is ensured by the insulator, the phase ring and the metal support structural body are configured with an insulation thickness smaller than needed for insulation to the ground, thereby improving cooling performance for the phase ring and the metal support structural body. Occurrence of induced current in the metal support structural body is suppressed, thus allowing application of a simple fastening structure such as metal bolts to a stator frame.

Abstract

A gas laser amplifier includes a housing, discharge electrode pairs, and an optical resonator. The housing includes an entrance window that allows entry of a first laser beam from outside and an exit window that allows exit of the first laser beam amplified. Each of the discharge electrode pairs excites a laser gas supplied between discharge electrodes facing each other in the housing. The optical resonator causes a second laser beam to oscillate with a gain of the excited laser gas in a non-incident state where the first laser beam from outside the housing does not enter the housing through the entrance window. In an incident state where the first laser beam enters the housing through the entrance window, the optical resonator suspends the oscillation of the second laser beam.
