Abstract: A pump, having a pump housing with an impeller arranged therein, features an anti-airlock valve assembly configured with a valve housing having a passageway configured with a vent hole to allow air to bleed out of the pump housing into the atmosphere so liquid can fill the pump housing, rise and engage the impeller in order to get the pump running; and a valve ball arranged in the passageway, the valve ball configured to rest against one part of the passageway so air can pass out of the vent hole, and also configured to be light or buoyant enough to respond to the liquid filling the pump housing, float upwardly and rest against another part of the passageway so as not to allow water to escape readily from the vent hole after the liquid rises to a sufficient level and substantially engages the impeller.

Abstract: An air operated diaphragm pump is provided featuring a housing, a fluid passageway and an indicator arrangement. The housing is configured with an orifice. The fluid passageway responses to a vacuum force and provides fluid, such as syrup from a bag or container to a beverage dispenser, through the air operated diaphragm pump via the fluid passageway, and is configured with a suction plenum or channel formed by an enclosed space with an inside pressure that is greater than an external pressure of the outside atmosphere when the fluid is being provided through the air operated diaphragm pump via the fluid passageway.

Abstract: Apparatus, including a pumping system, is provided featuring a pump and a control circuit. The pump has an impeller housing configured with a slit at the top for trapped air to leave the impeller housing once the pump has been submerged. The control circuit is configured to cycle the pump on and off for a predetermined number of cycles so that the trapped air will float to the top and be expelled out the slit when the pump is cycled off. The control circuit is configured to leave the pump on after the predetermined number of cycles.

Abstract: Una bomba presenta un dispositivo de detección de líquido (LSD, por sus siglas en inglés) en combinación con un alojamiento; el LSD detecta el nivel de una recolección de líquido fuera de la bomba y enciende/apaga la bomba para bombear el líquido; el alojamiento incluye una pared de alojamiento para contener el LSD; la pared de alojamiento tiene una superficie de pared exterior con una superficie exterior de detección; el alojamiento incluye una estructura de montaje interior para montar el LSD dentro del alojamiento en relación con la superficie exterior de detección; la superficie exterior de detección tiene refuerzos que se extienden o que se proyectan hacia el exterior desde la superficie de la pared exterior para evitar que un objeto se atore en la superficie exterior de detección, y permitir que el LSD detecte el nivel de la recolección de líquido fuera de la bomba y tocar la superficie exterior de detección, reducir un mal funcionamiento de la bomba debido al objeto que hace contacto con la superficie exterior de detección.

Abstract: A pump includes a signal processor that receives signaling containing information about a low level of a liquid sensed in an appliance reservoir to be supplied to an appliance that uses the liquid to dispense a flavored beverage, and also about when the appliance reservoir is refilled based upon an indication that forms part of an appliance reservoir refill level calibration procedure programmed by an appliance user; and determines corresponding signaling containing information about automatically refilling the liquid in the appliance reservoir, based upon the signaling received.

Abstract: A gas liquid absorption device (GLAD) features a gas inlet manifold, a liquid inlet manifold and a gas/liquid mixing foamer. The gas inlet manifold has a gas inlet that receives an inlet gas, and has a gas foamer cavity and coupled fluidically to the gas inlet to receive the inlet gas. The liquid inlet manifold has a liquid inlet to provide a noninfused liquid, and has a liquid foamer cavity and coupled fluidically to the liquid inlet to receive the non-infused liquid. The gas/liquid mixing foamer is between the gas inlet manifold and the liquid inlet manifold and arranged in the gas foamer cavity and the liquid foamor cavity. The gas/liquid mixing foamer has a gas foamer wall that forms a gas receiving foamer chamber that is fluidically coupled to the gas foamer cavity.
