A fuel vapor generator capable of being incorporated within a carburetor having a housing defining a chamber at the bottom thereof. An input line is attached to the lower portion of the housing for introducing a liquid fuel into the chamber and a return line is also attached to the lower portion of the housing for removing any excess liquid from the chamber and returning the excess liquid to the chamber. Located within the chamber is a level regulating system which, by being operably connected to both the inlet and removal lines is capable of regulating the liquid level within the chamber. In addition, an atomizer is located within the chamber in order to spray the liquid fuel in mist form into the upper portion of the housing for vaporization thereof prior to introduction into the Venturi tube of a carburetor.

A guided-float accumulator suitable for use with a hydraulic system for an oil well blowout preventer utilizes an array of float elements of syntactic foam material. The float elements are sequentially inserted into the pressure vessel which forms the accumulator proper, and are then manipulated from the exterior of the vessel to be interlocked into a float array.

An apparatus is disclosed for regulating the flow of solution from a fluid reservoir to the vein of a patient. All of the embodiments of the present invention include a first fluid chamber having an inlet and a discharge port and means disposed within a first fluid chamber for maintaining the level of solution therein between upper and lower levels. In all of the embodiments of the present invention, an upper and lower valve seat is provided within the first chamber which interacts with a float or floats contained therein to from two valve mechanisms which maintain a constant rate of flow of solution independent of the initial height or variations in height of solution contained within the reservoir during its depletion. In two of the embodiments of the present invention, a second fluid chamber is coupled to the first fluid chamber by means of a drip chamber which permits the visual counting of the rate of flow of solution from the first chamber to the second fluid chamber. The second fluid chamber is also provided with an intake and a discharge port that have valve seats disposed in close proximity thereto. A float is disposed within the second chamber for regulating the level of solution contained therein between an upper and a lower level. The float in combination with the valve seats forms upper and lower valve mechanisms which prevent the intake or discharge of solution from the second fluid chamber when the level of solution contained therein respectively reaches the upper and lower levels and maintains the rate of flow of solution through the second fluid chamber at the same rate maintained through the first fluid chamber. Additionally, the second fluid chamber regulates the flow rate of solution at all times within a rate of flow which may be safely tolerated by the patient.

Apparatus for automatically timing the watering cycles of a sprinkling system. The apparatus includes a water tank with an inlet opening and a drain outlet and a float mechanism that opens and closes a master valve for the system in accordance with a fixed timing sequence. The float mechanism includes a center float flanked by first and second side floats, each slidably mounted to travel between upper and lower limits on a separate guide rod. Additionally, the float mechanism includes a first pivoted lever and a second pivoted lever. Slidably mounted on the top portion of the guide rod for the center float is a finger that extends upwardly into contact with the outer end of a control lever for the master valve. Water flows into the tank from a point downstream of the master valve and causes the side floats to rise. Eventually the first side float moves the first pivoted lever in a way which causes the center float to shut off the master valve by exerting force on the control lever through the finger. The tank then drains. When the tank is drained, the second side float moves the second pivoted lever in a way to effectuate opening of the master valve, and the tank starts filling again.
摘要:
Waste liquid is discharged pneumatically into a liquid sewage or disposal system through a discharge conduit from the outlet of a vessel which receives such liquid from sanitary conveniences. A body in the vessel, which is capable of floating in the liquid therein, is drawn by suction toward the outlet when the liquid falls to a first low liquid level above the outlet, so that flow of air from the vessel into the system will be prevented. The floating body is removed from the outlet by mechanism in the vessel when the liquid therein rises to a second higher level, so that liquid will be withdrawn pneumatically from the vessel.

A method of transporting oil by vessel which includes discharging an oil cargo at a destination and refilling the vessel with a water ballast, transporting the vessel to an oil supply area, discharging only the water ballast at the oil supply area while retaining any oil-water mixture within the vessel. Apparatus is provided which automatically maintains delivery of only a single density fluid by operating only within the fluid to be delivered and ceasing to operate when in a different fluid. In an alternative embodiment, conduits are fixed in the vessel with their ends a predetermined distance apart to withdraw selectively different density fluids by pump means selectively controlled by a float member.

This invention relates to a filling device for preventing overflow of liquid-containing tanks during the filling thereof and includes a liquid inlet unit having a float controlled valve designed to close to prevent further flow of liquid into the tank when the liquid therein has reached a predetermined level and an air inlet unit having a float controlled valve which prevents venting of air from the tank when the liquid therein has reached a predetermined level, so that the air pressure in the tank would build up quickly to prevent introduction of additional liquid.

IN A HYDROCARBON DETECTION SYSTEM FOR USE IN AN EXPLORATION SURVEY OVER WATER COVERED AREAS, SAMPLES OF WATER ARE TAKEN, IN WHICH HYDROCARBON GASES MAY APPEAR IN A DISSOLVED STATE. REMOVAL OF DISSOLVED GAS FROM THE SAMPLE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ADMITTING THE SAMPLE TO A CHAMBER, PASSING IT THROUGH A FOG NOZZLE, AND APPLYING A VACUUM TO REMOVE THE GAS FROM THE SAMPLE, THUS CREATING FOG, LIQUID, AND GAS ZONES IN THE CHAMBER. GAS IS REMOVED FROM THE TOP AND LIQUID IS DISCHARGED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAMBER BY PUMPS. VALVES ARE LOCATED IN THE LIQUID ENTRANCE LINE AND THE DE-GASSIFIED LIQUID EXIT LINE, AND ARE CONTROLLED BY LIQUID LEVEL RESPONSIVE DEVICES. THE REMOVED GAS IS SUBJECTED TO ANALYSIS.
摘要:
A cistern for connecting to a low pressure hot water supply network containing two float valves, one float valve being positioned above an ejector contained within the cistern and arranged to eject water from the cistern upon opening of that float valve to thereby further lower water level and open that float valve still further, so that kinetic energy of flow of discharge from the float valve is utilised in lieu of elevation of the cistern to provide head for hot water flow, the second float valve being arranged to discharge directly into the cistern after the first has partially opened to thereby prevent hunting of the first float valve.
