Abstract: Apparatus has a body with a conduit defined therein. Body is mounted between, and connected to, a charging system containing pressurized fluid and a pressurized system. One apparatus has a retractable discharge tube inserted into a first end of the body. Once the body is connected to both the charging system and the pressurized system, a force is applied on the charging system toward the pressurized system. The force causes the charging system and the pressurized system to mate with the body urging the discharge tube to retract to release fluid into the conduit, and actuates the fitting to permit the fluid in the conduit to enter the pressurized system. Another apparatus has a manually deformable charging system and an adapter with a check valve to permit manual urging of fluid in the charging system through deformation of the charging system.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and method for urging fluid from a charging system to a pressurized system. The apparatus has a rigid body with a conduit defined therein. The body is mounted between, and connected to, a charging system containing pressurized fluid and a pressurized system. More specifically, a retractable discharge tube for actuating a first valve to allow the release of fluid held within the charging system, is inserted into a first end of the body. A depressor mounted at a second end of the body is inserted into a tubular fitting connected to the pressurized system. The fitting has a retractable pin for actuating a second valve to permit entry of the fluid into the pressurized system. Once the body is connected to both the charging system and the pressurized system, a force is applied on the charging system toward the pressurized system. The force causes the charging system and the pressurized system to mate with the body.

Abstract: An air powered flush machine capable of circulating a highly volatile flushing solvent through an air conditioning system or system components and then also capable of circulating a high volume of air through the system or components, to blow the solvent out of the components and thoroughly dry the system or components, without emitting an objectionable level of odour or hazardous level of fumes through the machines air exhaust outlet. The machine utilizes a receiving tank design which separates liquid solvent from the air flow before exhausting the air through its exhaust filter.

Abstract: A lamp system is for use in non-destructive testing to illuminate luminescent materials, such as fluorescent dyes. The lamp system has a control unit and a lamp. The lamp has a bulb and a filter. The bulb generates at least a first wavelength of invisible energy and the filter limits other visible wavelength light from the lamp. The lamp has a handle with a trigger. The control unit pulses the lamp on and off when the trigger is depressed. The lumiescent material absorbs the first wavelength of energy and pulses in response when the lamp illuminates the material. The system can be AC or DC operated. It can be operated from an automotive battery. A fault locating system for use with fluorescent dyes to detect faults in a body has a handheld D-type battery flashlight configuration with a casing having a handle at one end and a flared lamp housing at the other. A reflector fits within the lamp housing, and a bulb rests in the reflector.
