Abstract: A containment sleeve for use with a pressurized piping system including a pliable fabric sheet having first and second opposing longitudinal edges, first and second opposing transverse edges, and first and second opposing major surfaces respectively defining an interior and exterior surfaces. At least one pleat extends between the first and second transverse edges, the pleat being in a normally closed position to define the interior surface with a first surface area. The sheet of pliable fabric to secure about a portion of a pressurized piping system with the interior major surface facing the pipe so as to form a sleeve having an initial interior volume there about. In response to a rupture of the pressurized piping system within the interior volume, the pleat to expand to an open position to expand the interior surface to a second surface area to increase the interior volume from the initial volume.

Abstract: A machine lubrication system includes a bellows-type container filled with lubricant that connects to a support base of a pump of the lubrication system. The container includes a neck extending from a convex bottom surface of the container. The support base includes a concave mounting surface and a passageway in communication with an inlet of the pump. The neck sealingly attaches the container to the passageway with the bottom surface of the container on the mounting surface the support base.

The main body includes an exterior major surface and an opposing interior major surface, first and second opposed transverse edges, first and second opposed longitudinal edges, and a number of pleats extending from the interior major surface, each pleat having opposing sides of the longitudinal pleat being sewn together with breakaway stitching at a base of the pleat at the interior major surface. A number of transversely extending straps disposed on the exterior major surface between the first and second longitudinal edges, the straps to secure the main body about a portion of the piping system with the interior major surface facing the piping system.

Abstract: A fluid separator for a compressed air system including a head cap defining an inlet port and an outlet port, a first body defining an inner air shaft extending from an upper end to an opposing lower end, the upper end in fluid communication with the inlet port, and a vortex baffle disposed about the lower end of the inner air shaft. A second body forms an outer air shaft about the inner air shaft and vortex baffle, the outer air shaft extending from a lower end proximate to the vortex baffle to an upper end in fluid communication with the outlet port.

Abstract: A modular valve cartridge for a regenerative air dryer including a housing having a dry air passage and a desiccant canister having a desiccant bed. The modular valve cartridge includes a cylindrical body having an air passage extending axially there through between a first opening and second opening, a first end of the cylindrical body, including the first opening, to releasably couple to the housing to place the cartridge air passage in communication with the dry air passage via the first opening, and a second end of the cylindrical body, including the second opening, to releasably couple to the desiccant canister to place the cartridge air passage in communication with the desiccant bed via the second opening. A check valve is disposed within the cartridge air passage, the check valve biased to be in a normally closed position to close the cartridge air passage and to open the cartridge air passage in response to receiving a pressurized air via the second opening.

Abstract: A regenerative air dryer system including a plurality of air dryer modules, wherein air dryer modules of the plurality of air dryer modules have different air flow rates. A controller selectively operates different combinations of air dryer modules of the plurality of air dryer modules so that a selected combination of air dryer modules has a combined air flow rate based on system air flow requirements.

Abstract: A regenerative air drying system including at least one dryer module including a housing having a inlet air passage, an outlet air passage, and a wash air passage. The air dryer system further includes a desiccant canister mounted to the housing and in communication with the inlet, outlet, and exhaust air passages, and a single controllable valve selectively moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein the single controllable valve, when in the first position, forms a supply air flow path from the inlet air passage, through the desiccant canister in a first direction, and to the outlet air passage, and when in the second position, forms a wash air path from the outlet air passage, through the desiccant canister in a direction opposite the first direction, and to the exhaust air passage.

Abstract: A reusable hose bundling sleeve is provided that is made of a tightly-woven nylon material coated with urethane. Strips of hooks and loops are adhered and stitched to opposite ends of opposite sides of the sleeve. The reusable hose is installed by wrapping the sleeve around the hoses or cables to be protected such that the strips of hooks and loops align and engage. Notches can be cut along the length of the reusable hose bundling sleeve to allow for shorter hoses or cables traveling within the sleeve to exit. Because of the materials used, the notches will not weaken the fibers and cause fraying. The reusable hose bundling sleeve is removed by separating the strips of hooks and loops and unwrapping the sleeve. The reusable hose bundling sleeve can be installed, removed, and reinstalled quickly and without diminishing the durability of the sleeve. Alternatively, the sleeve may be adapted to be secured and/or hanged.

Abstract: A one piece valve body incorporates a built in strainer and a ball valve which can be used for cleaning out the strainer without any disassembly, and also serves the purpose of the manual drain that has to be in the system for code. Also the orifice to the valve is mounted on top of the strainer so gravity will help in keeping any debris that might get through the filter screen from entering and causing the valve to fail. The design of the inlet is such that a chamfer is machined on the inside so a standard female swivel fitting can be installed without adding a separate union. This valve body design can work for both direct acting or diaphragm operated valves.
