  • APPLIANCE FOR BREWING BEER
    Publication number: 20160326471
    Abstract: An appliance includes an appliance for the home-brewing of beer that includes a brewing unit including a heating unit, a recirculation pump, a first steeping chamber having an inlet and a flow-controlled outlet, a supply line in fluid communication with the inlet, and a collector in fluid communication with the outlet. The recirculation pump has a draw line in fluid communication with the collector. The appliance further includes a fermenting unit physically separate from the brewing unit and having a vessel adjacent a temperature control assembly. The fermenting unit is selectively fluidically coupleable with the brewing unit for transfer of fluid from the brewing unit to the fermenting unit and fluidically decouplable from the brewing unit.

  • Method and apparatus for determining the thermal status of fuel in a line leak detection system
    Patent number: 9347849
    Abstract: A method of determining the thermal status of fuel in a fuel distribution system (10) includes pressurizing the distribution line (16) by activating a submersible pump (14) in an underground storage tank (12). Once the distribution line (16) is pressurized, the pump (14) is switched off, and the reverse flow rate out of the distribution line back into the tank (12) is monitored. The test is repeated after a period of time, and the reverse flow rates of the separate tests are compared to determine if the fuel in the distribution line (16) is in thermal stability with the surrounding environment based on flow rate changes between tests.
