  • Patent number: 7665314
    Abstract: A refrigerated container having an air compressor for maintaining a controlled atmosphere includes provisions for cooling the ambient air being drawn in by the air compressor to thereby prevent corrosion in the air compressor. A condensing line heat exchanger is connected between an inlet port and the compressor and is so disposed that the evaporator fan passes air thereover to provide cooling to the ambient air passing therethrough such that condensation forms within the tube. A water separator is included in the system to remove condensate and allow the drier air to pass to the compressor. The water separator is so constructed as to allow for the free flow of air therethrough with very little restriction. A drain fitting in the water separator is so constructed as to prevent spattering that might otherwise occur.

  • Patent number: 7600989
    Abstract: A leak detector includes an inlet, a high-vacuum pump, and a test gas detector, which is connected to the entry of the high-vacuum pump. A backing pump is connected to an outlet area of the high-vacuum pump, and a test gas line extends between the inlet of the leak detector and the backing pump, the test gas line being connected to the outlet area of the high-vacuum pump via a line section. In order to shorten the response time of the leak detector, the line and the backing pump are connected via separate connections to the outlet area of the high-vacuum pump.
