  • Patent number: 4673006
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a liquid transfer apparatus. The apparatus draws a first liquid from a container to a low pressure region created when a second pressurized liquid is directed through a venturi nozzle. The first and second liquids combine downstream from the venturi nozzle to flow to a destination tank. The apparatus includes a T-shaped conduit structure wherein the pressurized liquid passes through the first or cross conduit. The first liquid in the container is drawn up the second conduit which forms the leg of the structure. A bypass conduit connects between the first conduit near the inlet end and a sleeve surrounding the second conduit. The sleeve includes openings around the periphery such that when valves are appropriately positioned, pressurized liquid is forced out the openings and may be used to flush and clean the interior of the container of the first liquid.
