  • Patent number: 11653603
    Abstract: The emitter attachable to a fluid conduit comprises a fluid inlet portion capable of taking in fluid from the fluid conduit. The fluid from the inlet portion moves to the pressure compensating or reducing portion which comprises a set of teeth which are arranged in a way so as to impede the flow of liquid thereby reducing the pressure. Downstream the pressure compensating portion is the output portion which communicates with an aperture in the fluid conduit to enable distributing the fluid to the environment. The base of the emitter is flexible allowing movement of the base by virtue of the pressure gradient. When the pressure of the fluid is reduced in the pressure compensating portion, a pressure gradient is created across the base and this result in the fluid in the fluid conduit moving the base towards the fluid conduit thereby reducing the volume of the cavity of the emitter.

  • Patent number: 10688418
    Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for cleaning circular filter screens comprising at least one suction chamber fitted to a conduit of the dirt collection conduit system extending along a central axis of the housing of the filter screen. The suction chamber comprises a central nozzle through which fluid is forced to flow by virtue of a pressure differential between the outer surface of the filter screen and an extremity of the dirt collection conduit system. The fluid flow through the central nozzle creates a low pressure regime near the mouth of the central nozzle such that fluid is forced through a plurality of peripheral suction nozzles arranged around the central nozzle from the outer surface of the filter screen to the inside of the suction chamber, thereby forcing the dirt and retentate accumulated along the inner surface of the filter screen to be washed away.
