  • Publication number: 20230250823
    Abstract: A pump includes a motor housing configured to support a motor and a pump head coupled to the motor housing. The pump head includes an inlet configured to receive a fluid, an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet, and a bypass assembly configured to facilitate a path for fluid removal. The bypass assembly includes a bypass housing defining a channel in fluid communication with the inlet, a bypass vent in fluid communication with the channel, and a sealing member movably supported within the channel. The sealing member movable between a closed position where the sealing member blocks flow of the fluid from the inlet through the bypass vent and an open position where the inlet is fluidly connected to the bypass vent. An impeller positioned within the pump head and the bypass assembly is positioned downstream of the inlet and upstream of the impeller and the outlet.

  • Patent number: 11719353
    Abstract: A pressure valve includes a housing having bottom portion defining a bottom opening configured to be in communication with a vessel and a sidewall defining an internal cavity. The housing includes a vent aperture configured to provide fluid communication between the internal cavity and ambient air surrounding the pressure valve and an accessory aperture configured to couple an accessory to the housing. A seal seat is positioned within the internal cavity fluidly between the vent aperture and the bottom opening. A pressure control assembly is coupled to the housing. The pressure control assembly breaks a sealing engagement with the seal seat to provide fluid communication between the vessel and the vent aperture in response to a desired positive pressure being reached within the vessel or in response to a negative pressure being reached in the vessel. The accessory aperture is positioned between the bottom opening and the seal seat.

  • Patent number: 11428335
    Abstract: A pressure valve is configured to be selectively coupled to a vessel and includes a housing including a vent aperture configured to provide fluid communication between an internal cavity of the housing and ambient air surrounding the pressure valve, an accessory aperture configured to couple an accessory to the housing, and a seal seat positioned within the internal cavity fluidly between the vent aperture and the accessory aperture. The pressure valve includes a pressure control assembly including a seal configured to break a sealing engagement with the seal seat to provide fluid communication between the vessel and the vent aperture in response to a desired positive pressure being reached within the vessel. The seal is configured to break the sealing engagement with the seal seat to provide fluid communication between the vessel and the vent aperture in response to an operator moving an actuator of the pressure control assembly.
