Withdrew from the doctorate course of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Kyoto University Graduate School of Engineering in 1980. Assistant at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Kyoto University Graduate School of Engineering in 1980. Worked as planning officer, Hokkaido National Industrial Research Institute, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology and vice-director of Energy Technology Research Institute, Discussions with Reviewers1 OverallComment (Akira Ono, AIST)I think this study is a good example of a joint study with a local government, which is an entity with which the researchers do not regularly have contact, to diffuse the research result of the basic research to society. I also think it was difficult to conduct an experiment in an actual working building. I hope this will be referenced by many readers as a good case study of a methodology for Type 2 Basic Research or Product Realization Research.2 Significance of the demonstration research conducted by a public research instituteComment (Yasuo Hasegawa, Energy Technology Research Institute, AIST)In the process of introduction and diffusion of a new energy conversion technology, there are several factors that inhibit the process, and a long time is required. This paper describes the installation procedure and energy conversion effect conducted by a public research institute for a public facility, and it is particularly valuable because it contributes to further diffusion and promotion.I think you should present cases where the result of this demonstration led to the increase in the number of installations, and provide deeper consideration on the meaning of demonstrations conducted by a public research institute. Answer (Hiromi Takeuchi)The number of inquiries increased after the press release introducing the result of this demonstration, and this led to increased installations. I described the outline in chapter 7, and added considerations for the significance of the demonstration research by a public research institute.3 Joint research with a local governmentComment (Akira Ono)I think you should address the various factors unique to having the local government as a joint researcher, and how you solved the difficulty of conducting an experiment in a working building.Answer (Hiromi Takeuchi)Since any failure originating from the test was not allowed in the working building, we carefully studied the entire water circulation system and the location and performance of the component machinery. We also utilized the off-days of the office.I did not describe some factors directly in the text since many of them do not pertain to technology, but the most difficult points were to get the people of the local government to understand the importance of this demonstration test and to obtain approval for conducting the test in the building where these people work everyday.NotesNote ) Type 2 designated energy management factory: This is a facility in which the standard value for energy use per fiscal year is 1,500 kL to less than 3,000 kL by crude oil equivalent for fuel (heat), and 600 kWh to less than 1,200 kWh for electricity. Such facilities are required to reduce the specific energy consumption by annual average of 1 % or more.AIST. Upon retirement, assumed current position. Specialties are flow and heat transfer. This test was conducted while at the Energy Technology Research Institute. At the same time, also conducted the cogeneration demonstration research using the supercooling heat storage in Sapporo with over ten researchers from the Energy Technology Research Institute.
