| 20090283153 | BEVERAGE AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for separating air from a fluid, such as syrup, as the fluid enters a first chamber of a system; passing the fluid from the first chamber to a second chamber via a first device; passing the air from the first chamber to the second chamber via a second device so as to reintroduce the air back into the fluid and form a new fluid mixture having more uniform air bubbles; and discharging the new fluid out of the system. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100024897 | Fuel Line Air Trap for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - A fuel line air trap for an unmanned aerial vehicle has a vessel in-line with a fuel line, fuel line connectors, and fuel inlet and outlet stems. The vessel contains an inlet at a distal end and an outlet at a proximal end. The fuel line connectors are attached to the vessel at the inlet and at the outlet to connect the fuel line to the vessel. The fuel inlet stem attaches to the vessel at the inlet and a fuel outlet stem attaches to the vessel at the outlet. Both the fuel inlet stem and fuel outlet stem protrude into the vessel a predetermined distance such that a gap exists between them. As air bubbles enter the gap in the fuel line air trap, they separate from the flow of fuel and migrate to the exterior walls of the vessel. The air bubbles are purged during remain trapped refueling. | 02-04-2010 |

| 137178000 | With alternately operated inlet and outlet valves | 2 |
| 20100258201 | Condensate Collection System and Drain - A valve system for collection and removal of condensation from a gas-pressurized fluid system. In one embodiment a single valve is used, having inlet, outlet and condensate collection ports and a valve body capable of movement between a position which connects the inlet port to the condensate collection port and a position which connects the condensate collection port to the outlet port. The valve is formed such that the inlet port is not connected to the outlet port while the valve is moved between the two positions, so that the pressurized system is not depressurized. A second embodiment uses two coupled valves replacing the single valve. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20130056089 | CONDENSATE COLLECTION SYSTEM AND DRAIN - A condensate collection valve includes a valve body having an inlet port connected to an inlet passage and an outlet port connected to a drain passage. A collection chamber is rotatably connected to the valve body and rotatable between a collect position where the collection chamber is in fluid communication with the inlet passage, and a drain position where the collection chamber is in fluid communication with the drain passage. The collection chamber is prevented from simultaneous fluid communication with the inlet passage and the drain passage. | 03-07-2013 |
| 137179000 | With non-discriminating gas vent or liquid discharge | 2 |
| 137180000 | Abnormal pressure responsive liquid blow-off or drain | 1 |
| 20150129050 | AUTO FLOW STEAM TRAP - An auto flow steam trap has a hollow main casing having an inlet channel and an outlet channel, a float assembly mounted in the main casing, and a non-return valve assembly. With the non-return valve assembly mounted in the outlet channel of the main casing, the auto flow steam trap only needs one non-return valve assembly to control allowing the condensate to flow out of the main casing or not. Thus, the auto flow steam trap has advantages such as simple structure and low failure rate, easy assembling, and so on. | 05-14-2015 |
| 137181000 | Manual control | 1 |
| 20090250118 | SELF-CLEANING LOW EMISSION BLEEDER VALVE TYPE LIQUID LEVEL GAUGE - A self-cleaning bleeder valve comprises an annular housing that is mounted in an opening in a pressure vessel, and a valve member that screws into the housing for movement toward and away from an orifice opening in the housing. The valve member includes a gasket seal and orifice drill at an inner end of the valve member. The orifice is positioned such that when the valve member is screwed into the annular housing, the drill extends through the orifice, automatically cleaning the orifice while restricting the rate of gas flow out of the orifice to the space between the drill and the orifice. | 10-08-2009 |
| 137182000 | With auxiliary inlet or by-pass valve | 1 |
| 20090044867 | Mechanism for facilitating cleaning of filter of steam trap without shutting down boiler - A mechanism is adapted to clean a filter of a steam trap by opening a valve at one end of the filter by turning an adjusting screw secured to one end of the valve without shutting down a boiler in which a flow path is formed from one end of the filter to a drain via the valve and the adjusting screw after the valve opening. A stop projects into the valve for preventing the adjusting screw from disengaging the valve by stopping an annular flange of a valve cone in the valve opening operation. | 02-19-2009 |

The storage unit collects condensate and includes a storage main body defining a storage compartment within, and a storage panel sealing one side of the storage main body. The opening/closing member is provided at a side of the storage unit, to selectively open and close a passage through which condensate drains to an outside through an opening/closing valve. The adjusting member is provided at a side and within the storage unit, to adjust the opening/closing member. The opening/closing valve can be formed of an elastic material. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090044868 | Steam trap with capillary action based blocking arrangement - A steam trap is provided to remove condensed water from a steam pipe having an end to which the strap is connected.
