Abstract:
A filtration system for an appliance includes a water source coupled with the appliance to provide an intake water flow. A filter unit is coupled with water source to receive the intake water flow and dispense a filtered water flow. An isolation valve is coupled between the water source and the filter unit and movable between a first position and a second position. A distribution valve is coupled with an ice maker and a water dispenser of the appliance. The distribution valve receives the filtered water flow when the isolation valve is in the first position, and the distribution valve receives the intake water flow via a bypass line when the isolation valve is in the second position. The isolation valve is configured to move to the second position upon expiration of the service life of the filter unit
Abstract:
A magnetic separator (10) for a central heating system comprises a housing (12), a separation chamber within the housing (12), inlet and outlet ports (20, 20a) extending from the housing, the inlet and outlet ports including push- fit connectors (30) having collets surrounding the mouth of each of the inlet and outlet for releasing the connectors (30), and a release tool (44), the release tool (44) having first and second bearing areas (46, 48) for bearing against the collets of the inlet and outlet connectors (30), and a handle region (50, 52) for enabling force to be applied, via the bearing areas (46,48), to both connectors (30) simultaneously.
Abstract:
A fuel filter for a diesel engine may include an upper cover forming inflow and outflow passages of diesel fuel, a housing integrally mounted in a vehicle body, coupled to the upper cover and housing a filter assembly, and a body penetrating a central portion of the filter assembly, disposed between the upper cover and the filter assembly and integrally forming the upper cover, a heater assembly, and a moisture sensor, in which the heater assembly may be configured to selectively operate according to a detection signal of a fuel temperature sensor that is provided in the engine body.
Abstract:
The seal consists of a lid that is rotary-mounted to the filter container base (10, 100) and has a body (11, 110) with at least two stub pipes (1, 2) and an internal part (12, 120) attached to the body. In the internal part (12, 120) are formed circulation ducts (5, 6) positioned as an extension of the stub pipes (1, 2) in opened position, and at least one bypass duct (3, 30) connecting the stub pipes (1, 2) in closed position. The internal part (12, 120) is attached to the body (11, 110) using a rotary bayonet mount by rotating to closed position in which the stub pipes (1, 2) are connected by the bypass duct (3, 30), and the body (11, 110) together with the attached internal part (12, 120) is attached to the base (10, 100) using a rotate-and-lock bayonet mount. In closed position the internal part (12, 120) is attached to the base (10, 100) in a stationary manner using a longitudinal head joint formed on the joined elements, and the changing to opened position occurs by rotating the body (11, 110) in the rotate-and-lock bayonet mount.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil deterioration suppression device which improves the collection efficiency of an oil-deteriorated component, and can suppress an increase of a pressure loss by reducing oil passage resistance.SOLUTION: An oil deterioration suppression device 1 comprises a filtering part 3 having a filtering material 10 for filtering oil, and a deterioration suppression part 4 having a powdery deterioration suppressing agent 17 for suppressing the deterioration of oil. The deterioration suppression part includes a mesoporous inorganic material, sends oil which is filtered by the filtering part out of oil sent from an oil accumulation part 9 to an object to be lubricated, and returns oil suppressed in deterioration by the deterioration suppression part to the oil accumulation part, or sends it to the object to be lubricated.
Abstract:
A device for forming at least part of a head part (1) of a liquid treatment apparatus is arranged to receive a connecting head (9) of a replaceable liquid treatment cartridge (2) and includes at least one ratio-setting valve. The ratio-setting valve is provided with at least two first ports (62-65), each placeable in essentially sealed liquid communication with respective cartridge ports (11-14) of a connecting head (9) of a replaceable liquid treatment cartridge (2) inserted into the device, and with at least one second port (99,111). The ratio-setting valve includes at least one movable regulating part (91,107) for setting a volumetric flow rate ratio between a first flow of liquid between a first of the first ports (62-65) and the at least one second port (99,111) and a second flow of liquid between a second of the first ports (62-65) and the at least one second port (99,111) at any of a plurality of values. The ratio-setting valve is placeable in a closed configuration, in which the at least one movable regulating parts (91,107) are positioned such that both the first and the second flows are blocked. The ratio-setting valve is placeable in the closed configuration independently of whether a connecting head (9) is inserted with its cartridge ports (11-14) in liquid communication with the first ports (62-65).
