Publication number: 20220403633Abstract: An accumulator assembly having a wastewater retention tank defining an interior chamber. A fluid level sensor is coupled to the waste retention tank and configured to sense a level of liquid in the chamber. An extraction pipe extends into the chamber and is coupled to an extraction valve. Coupled to the fluid sensor is a controller that is also coupled to the fluid level sensor and to the extraction valve. The controller is configured to open the extraction valve upon receipt of a signal from the sensor. The accumulator assembly also includes an odor mitigation subassembly in fluid communication with the chamber. The odor mitigation subassembly further includes an air displacement port, an odor filter and an overflow prevention device, the overflow prevention device being in fluid communication with the chamber and located downstream of the air displacement port and upstream of the filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Thomas K. Zinn, Carlos J. Galeazzi

Patent number: 10968614Abstract: An accumulator for a vacuum drainage system. The accumulator includes a body having a bottom wall, sidewalls and top wall, the bottom wall, sidewalls and top walls all cooperating to define a reservoir within the body. A first inlet port and a first outlet port are provided toward a first end of the body, and a second inlet port and a second outlet port are provided toward a second end of the body. The first and second inlet ports respectively define first and second inlet openings into the reservoir, and the first and second outlet ports respectively define first and second outlet openings from the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Acorn Engineering CompanyInventors: Thomas K. Zinn, Carlos J. Galeazzi

Patent number: 10288189Abstract: A pneumatic controller for connecting to a vacuum source and providing a vacuum output signal. The pneumatic controller includes a valve body defining a number of different chambers. At least two of the chambers that are separated by diaphragm and one of these chambers is maintained at vacuum pressure. In response to a pressure differential between the two chambers, the diaphragm deforms causing a valve to move from a first position, where an output port is coupled to atmospheric pressure, to a second position, where the output port is coupled to vacuum pressure. The valve is inhibited for moving between the first and second positions unless a sufficient vacuum pressure is present. Movement of the valve from the second position to the first position is also delayed until the two chambers are substantially equalized.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Acorn Engineering CompanyInventors: Carlos J. Galeazzi, Thomas Kent Zinn, Ronald T. Hahn

Patent number: 6687922Abstract: A stainless steel toilet resistant to corrosion by sea water. The toilet has a toilet bowl portion which is butt-welded to a rim. The welding is carried out while the inside surface of the weld line is flushed with argon gas. Similarly, a P-trap is butt-welded to an exit opening at the bottom of the bowl portion. A flush ring assembly is supported below the rim member. The result is a toilet which can be operated with sea water without corrosion for a period of years.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Acorn Engineering Co.Inventors: Keith D. Marshall, Carlos J. Galeazzi, Darryl M. Boeltl
