Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple and cheap portable type leakage sensor which can detect leak on a floor and leak from any instrument with the sensor located under it. SOLUTION: This sensor 10 is to detect presence of liquid, provided with a housing 12 which has concave top surface 14, concave undersurface 16, and peripheral wall 18 connecting these top surface 14 and undersurface 16, where the peripheral wall 18 extends below the undersurface 16 while extending above the top surface 14. Plural apertures are formed on the wall 18. Two or more conductive members 24 and 26 extend below the undersurface 16 while extending above the top surface 14, separated from each other by clearance 36 which can collect liquid. Those conductive members 24 and 26 are designed so as to generate output signal when any conductive liquid contacts the conductive members to fill the clearance 36. An output connector 30 is connected with two or more conductive members 24 and 26, configured so as to carry the output signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Provided is a tank including a polymeric upper dome having a neck with a through passage, a polymeric lower dome having a neck with a through passage, a polymeric shell having a first end connected to the upper dome and a second end connected to the lower dome, and a connection attached to each of the upper and lower domes in the through passages of the necks, wherein the upper dome, lower dome, and shell form a cavity.
Abstract:
A fluid tank has a housing that has an upper end wall, a side wall, and a lower end wall that together define a cavity. A flexible diaphragm is connected to the side wall within the cavity and separates the cavity into an upper portion, which is sealed to contain a pressurized gas, and a lower portion, which is sealed to contain a pressurized fluid. An indicator is positioned in the upper wall of the housing and has an indicator arm and a visual indicator. The indicator arm is not visible and the visual indicator is visible with the indicator in a first position and the indicator arm is visible and the visual indicator is not visible with the indicator in a second position.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel is provided including an inner tank formed from a tank liner surrounded by a wound layer of composite filaments. A protective jacket is disposed on the inner tank that facilitates stacking and portability of the pressure vessel and helps to define an air passage for convective heat transfer between the hybrid tank and the environment.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device for causing turbulent flow in a tank assembly that includes, inter alia, a base portion and a vane element that extends in an axial direction from the base portion. The vane element has a curved surface formed at a distal end thereof which is adapted and configured to redirect fluid traversing the device axially in a non-axial direction. Still further, a plurality of shoulder elements extend radially outward from the axis of the vane element and are adapted and configured for limiting that axial insertion of the device into a fitting associated with the tank assembly. In an embodiment of the present invention, the vane element includes lateral edges which are adapted and configured for press-fit engagement with an inside diameter of the fitting associate with the tank assembly.
Abstract:
A stand for supporting a pressure vessel includes a body having an upper wall and a sidewall extending downwardly from the upper wall, an aperture defined in the upper wall configured to permit passage therethrough of a fluid conduit, the fluid conduit being in fluid communication with the pressure vessel, and a locking element provided in connection with the body configured to engage the fluid conduit when in a locked position to inhibit removal of the stand from the pressure vessel.
Abstract:
A well management system provides Internet-enabled monitoring, configuration, and control of a well system that includes a pump (120) and a pressure tank (130). A controller (110) is operatively coupled to the pump. The controller controls the pump based on pressure readings from a pressure sensor (112) to maintain a configured pressure range within the system. The controller can communicate with a management system via a communications network. The management system is further in communication with one or more client devices (160), which may be associated with a homeowner, a service provider, a manufacturer, or the like. Via the management system, the client devices can receive information from the controller and send commands to the controller.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an absorber system for absorbing pressure shocks and fluid volume shocks in a fluid system. In particular, the absorber system includes a housing with a joint for insertion within a fluid system, wherein the housing interior is in fluid communication with fluid in the fluid system. As such, when a pressure and/or fluid volume shock is developed within the fluid system, fluid is forced into the housing via the joint. A membrane is disposed within the housing in such a way that the fluid impacts the membrane which, in response, flexes to absorb and control the pressure and/or fluid volume shock within the fluid system. The absorber system, thus, controls pressure and/or fluid volume shock within a system and can prevent water hammer and other problems which can result from the development of pressure and/or fluid volume shock.
Abstract:
A handle assembly for a portable gas cylinder includes a first handle portion, a second handle portion and first and second locking members. The first handle portion includes an ergonomically configured upstanding gripping handle and a semi-circular shroud portion configured to couple to a first section of an upper portion of a portable gas cylinder. The second handle portion includes an ergonomically configured upstanding gripping handle and a semi-circular shroud portion configured to couple to a second section of the upper portion of the portable gas cylinder. First and second locking members are configured to selectively locking the first and second handle portions to one another about a periphery of the upper portion of the portable gas cylinder.
