The present invention relates to an SOEC system (1), comprising a fuel cell stack (2) having a gas side (3) and an air side (4), and an ejector (5) for supplying a process fluid to a gas inlet (6) on the gas side (3), wherein the ejector (5) comprises a primary inlet (7), for introducing a water-containing primary process fluid through a primary line (8) of the SOEC system (1) into a primary portion (9) of the ejector (5), and a secondary inlet (10), for introducing recirculated secondary process fluid through a recirculation line (11) of the SOEC system (1) from a gas outlet (12) on the gas side (3) into a secondary portion (13) of the ejector (5), wherein the SOEC system (1) further comprises a control gas supply portion (14) for supplying control gas into the primary portion (9) and into the secondary portion (13) in order to control a pressure and/or mass flow in the primary portion (9) and in the secondary portion (13), and wherein the control gas supply portion (14) comprises a valve arrangement (19, 20) for controlling the pressure and/or the mass flow in the primary portion (9) and in the secondary portion (13).

The invention further relates to a method for operating an SOEC system (1) according to the invention.

Pumps for noncontact tonometry are provided. In one embodiment, a pump for noncontact tonometry includes a compression pump, a compression chamber, a first pressure sensor in communication with the compression chamber, a surge chamber, and a valve separating the compression chamber and surge chamber. The compression pump compresses a first volume of gas into the compression chamber. When the first pressure sensor detects a threshold pressure in the compression chamber, the valve opens and releases the gas into a surge chamber, where it combines with a gas residing in the surge chamber to form a puff of gas that escapes from the surge chamber through a flow-limiting nozzle. The components of the pump, which relies on passive rather than active components to create the controlled puff, can be assembled to have a profile that is portable and fit for home use.

The present invention relates to a blower. A blower according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lower case having a suction hole in through which air flow; an upper case which is disposed at the upper side of the lower case and which has a discharge port through which the air is discharged; a fan motor for providing rotating force; and a fan disposed inside the lower case and fixed to a motor shaft of the fan motor, wherein the fan includes: a hub having an outer surface, which is extended to be inclined at a first angle with respect to the motor shaft; a plurality of blades coupled to the hub; and a shroud having an inner surface which is extended to be inclined, with respect to the motor shaft, at a second angle that is greater than the first angle, and which faces the outer surface of the hub with respect to the blade, and thus the air discharged from the fan can change into an ascending current.

A blower may include a first case and a second case provided above the first case and having a first tower and a second tower that have a passage therebetween. A display assembly is received in the second case at a position that does not interfere with air flowing in the passage. An inner surface of the second tower and an outer surface of a diffuser define a space in which the display assembly is received.

A blower is disclosed. The blower of the present disclosure comprises: a fan generating flow of air; a lower body providing an internal space in which the fan is installed, and having a suction hole through which air passes; an upper body being an upper body, which is installed over the lower body and forms a channel that communicates with the internal space of the lower body, and having a space formed through the upper body in a front-rear direction; a slit formed to pass through the upper body and discharging air flowing through the channel of the upper body to an outside of the upper body; and a vane or a door movably installed inside the upper body, and adjusting a flow direction of the air passing through the slit.

A ventilator includes a ventilation body, the ventilation body includes a ventilation cavity and an air inlet end and an air outlet end communicating with the ventilation cavity, the ventilation body further includes an annular shell configured to form the ventilation cavity, the annular shell is formed with an annular cavity inside, an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the annular cavity are disposed on the annular shell, the air outlet is communicated with the annular cavity and the ventilation cavity, the air outlet has a slit shape extending along a circumferential direction of the annular shell and is disposed to be capable to guide gas flows out towards the air outlet end. The ventilator may greatly increase the ventilation volume and the gas pressure, by using the ventilation body as mentioned above.

An eductor for an auxiliary power unit with a gas turbine engine and a load compressor incorporates an eductor housing having an cooling airflow inlet and a turbine exhaust inlet opening fluidly connected through a primary plenum to an outlet opening. A splitter plate is positioned in the primary plenum fixing a flow stagnation point with respect to a wall of the primary plenum.

First and second towers may discharge air. An airflow guide or converter may change a direction of the air discharged from the first tower and the second tower by moving a gate inside and outside of at least one of the first or second towers so as to block discharged air flowing forward and selectively facilitate an upward air flow. The airflow converter may include a guide motor to provide a driving force, the gate, which may reciprocate between the inside and the outside of the first and/or second towers; and a board guider connected to the gate to transmit a driving force of the guide motor to the gate as a linear motion force.

A fuel cell system is provided having a fuel cell and a jet pump control valve unit connected to an anode chamber with an intake connection and a pressure connection. A fuel gas control valve connecting a fuel gas source and the jet pump has a valve seat with a first sealing surface and at least two through-flow channels, and a moveable valve body with a second sealing surface. The valve body can be moved into a blocking position and a through-flow position using a valve body actuator. The sealing surfaces rest on one another in a common sealing plane and form a seal in the blocking position. A stroke gap is formed between the sealing surfaces in the through-flow position. The first or second sealing surface is arranged on a raised sealing level. A volume flow of a drive jet can be controlled by the valve body actuator.
