| 20160091266 | MOBILE HYDRO GEOTHERMAL TESTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A fluid flushing and pressurization apparatus for use with geothermal systems, capable of delivering a reversible high-velocity flow of fluid through a system of buried PE pipe without introducing an overpressure condition or water hammer. The apparatus can be utilized with methods for installing, preparing, flushing, filling, testing, and certifying geothermal heating and cooling systems. A portable pumping and testing apparatus can include a high-volume pump, a high-pressure pump, a flow meter, and pressure sensors in wired or wireless communication with a processor or logic controller such that continuous or periodic monitoring of the system can be recorded. The system can be programmed to operate automatically under computer control such that reversal of the flow through the geothermal system does not shock or damage the equipment or buried piping. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160146647 | A GAS FLOW MEASURING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES - The present invention relates to a gas flow measuring system for electric household appliances—more particularly, for cooking equipments—that is based on pressure reading at specific points in the tubing in order to provide the user with data such as gas outflow and/or consumption (instantaneous and overall), providing for a more efficient, controlled and safer use of the cooking equipment. Said system comprises: at least one pressure sensor cooperating with main tubing | 05-26-2016 |
