≪２級課題≫【問 1】[Background of the Invention][0002]
Biomass, which is a reusable organic energy resource derived from animals
and plants, has been noted as energy resources that contribute to theprevention of global warming and the development of a recycling society
associated with CO2 reduction.
In recent years, research and development relating to the effective
utilization of biomass, particularly energy utilization of woody biomass, hasbeen actively advanced.
[0003]
Examples of woody biomass include wood offcuts, wood scraps, such as wastematerial from lumbering, pruned materials obtained from parks andbotanical gardens, wood waste resulting from cutting, and wood waste
resulting from dwelling demolition.
Such woody biomass is a renewable resource and is also an excellent
resource in terms of global environmental conservation.
Therefore, the use of woody biomass reduces the use of fossil fuels and, at thesame time, reduces carbon dioxide and suppresses global warming.
[0004]
Examples of biomass power generation system using woody biomass include
a system that directly burns woody biomass in a boiler and generates electric
power by rotating turbines with high-pressure steam generated by heat
during combustion (direct combustion system.)
Further examples of biomass power generation systems includes a systemthat generates electric power by driving an engine using combustible gas(fuel gas) generated by thermal decomposition of the woody biomass in a
gasification furnace as fuel (gasification system.)[0005]
Since a power generation system using the gasification system can control
the power generation output in accordance with the amount of generation of
the combustible gas generated by the thermal decomposition, stable engine
operation becomes possible.

Thus, a gasification type power generation system employing, for example,
an up- draft-type gasification furnace can be more efficient than a direct
combustion- type power generation system, and can reduce the entire
system.

【問 2】[0020][Outline of dry ice cleaning apparatus]
Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the composition of the dry ice
cleaning apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, the dry ice cleaning apparatus 10 is provided with afeed section 20, a blowing machine 30, a compressor 40, a nozzle 50 and acontrol unit 60.
[0021]
The feed section 20 includes a hopper 21 for storing dry ice, and a crushingdevice 22 for crushing the dry ice, and supplies the dry ice used for cleansingof an object.
[0022]The dry ice fed into the hopper 21 is preferably in the shape of pellets (dry icepellets), and, for example, dry ice pellets having a diameter of about 1 mm
and a length of about 3 mm are used.
The dry ice pellets discharged from the hopper 21 are more finely crushed by
the crushing device 22 and subsequently fed as dry ice pellets having a
diameter of 1 mm or less.
[0023]The hopper 21 has a vibration device 100 for preventing coagulation ofcontained dry ice pellets. Details of the composition of the vibration device
100 will be described later.
[0024]The blowing machine 30 has a so-called blower, blows air (gas), generates an
air flow (blowing), and ejects the dry ice pellets supplied by the supply unit
20 from the nozzle 50.
[0025]The nozzle 50 ejects the dry ice pellets supplied by the feed section 20 onto
the object to be cleaned.

The dry ice pellets supplied by the supply unit 20 are sent to the nozzle 50 by
the blowing machine 30, accelerated by the compressor 40, and jetted onto
the object.
