  • Patent number: 11828302
    Abstract: A jet valve includes a valve body, a juncture operatively coupled to the valve body. The juncture having a first fluid connection fluidly coupled to a header tank and a second connection fluidly coupled to a storage tank. A spool is movably disposed within the valve body. A jet pump is fluidly coupled to a fuel pump of the header tank via a bleed line. Operation of the fuel pump pressurizes the bleed line and moves the spool to a first position to (i) close a first fluid path between the header tank and the storage tank and (ii) provide a second fluid path between the header tank and the storage tank, the second fluid path through the aperture. Depressurization of the bleed line enables the spring to move the spool to a second position to close the second fluid path and open the first fluid path.

  • Patent number: 11802568
    Abstract: A vacuum pump includes a linked-type thread-groove spacer which is a structure for linking a Siegbahn pump portion and a thread-groove pump portion, and when an outlet position of a thread groove which is an exhaust channel portion of this linked-type thread-groove spacer is in a vicinity of the stator portion (stator bolt) of the stator column, conductance of the exhaust channel is lowered. Thus, phases in a circumferential direction of installation positions of a thread ridge of the linked-type thread-groove spacer and the stator portion of the stator column are aligned as much as possible. In other words, the thread groove of the linked-type thread-groove spacer which is the exhaust channel is provided between the installation positions of the stator portions in the circumferential direction of the stator column so that lowering of the conductance of the exhaust channel is suppressed.
