<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermooptical generator [TPV (thermoplastic vulcanizing) system] which improves the energy conversion efficiency, as a result of improving a combustion efficiency by efficiently premixing air and fuel gas. <P>SOLUTION: In a thermooptical generator for converting radiant light from an emitter 18 to a power by a photoelectric converter 10 by means of heating the emitter 18, by the combustion of the fuel gas in the presence of the air, the air is introduced into a fuel gas pipe 14, to thereby premixing the air with the fuel gas before the combustion. The generator includes a regulating means 30 for changing the opening area of an air introducing unit of the pipe 14. Furthermore, the generator includes a control means for controlling the regulating means in response to the measured value, by measuring the temperature and a flow rate of the air introduced to the pipe. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
