Patent number: 6883526Abstract: There is provided methods for servicing a vehicle's transmission cooling system having inlet and outlet ports. An example method comprises the steps of pumping air into an inlet port of the transmission cooling system to cause transmission fluid to flow out of the outlet port of the transmission cooling system; cycling a solvent through the transmission cooling system, where the solvent enters through the inlet port and exits through the outlet port of the transmission cooling system; re-cycling the solvent exiting through the output port through the transmission cooling system; and pumping air into the inlet port to cause the solvent in the transmission cooling system to exit through the outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Motorvac Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eduardo Betancourt, John Rome

Patent number: 6539958Abstract: Method and apparatus for servicing a vehicle's transmission cooling system, where the apparatus includes a source valve with inlet and outlet ports, a pump with inlet and outlet ports, and a return valve with inlet and outlet ports. The pump inlet is connected to the source valve outlet. The pump pumps fluid from the source valve inlet through the source valve outlet and the pump inlet to the pump outlet for servicing the transmission cooling system. The fluid returns from the return valve inlet to the return valve outlet and the pump then re-pumps the fluid into the transmission cooling system. The service apparatus may also include a fluid source and a filter interposed between the fluid source and the source valve, where the fluid returns to the fluid source prior to re-pumping the fluid. The service apparatus may also include a flowmeter interposed between the return valve and the fluid source and a filter interposed between the return valve and the flowmeter.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2000Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: Motorvac Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eduardo Betancourt, John Rome

Patent number: 5447184Abstract: A portable fluid exchanger for flushing the used transmission fluid from a vehicle engine as it replaces it with new fluid is mounted on a wheeled undercarriage and contains a tank of new transmission fluid, hoses, and a 12-volt electrical system which connects to the battery of the vehicle being serviced to power a fluid delivery pump, an output and return flow control system, and means for visually checking the condition of the fluid being pumped from the transmission. The normal continuous-flow circulation system of the vehicle is interrupted by interposing the exchanger in a cooling line of the transmission system, and the vehicle's own pump is used to expel fluid from the transmission while the exchanger introduces new fluid, as the vehicle engine idles. The fluid level in the transmission is gauged by monitoring inflow and outflow to and from the transmission to insure that it remains reasonably full during the flushing process.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1994Date of Patent: September 5, 1995Inventor: Eduardo Betancourt

Patent number: 5289837Abstract: An internal combustion engine purging system cleans out deposits of carbon and other substances that accumulate over time in the fuel system by delivering a mixture of fuel and cleaning solution into the fuel intake ports while the engine is running, so that the engine pulls the mixture through the carburetor jets or injectors. This purging system is characterized by its virtual universal application with substantially any commercially produced gasoline or diesel engine. It is in part comprised of two separate but overlapping systems, one for gasoline and one for diesel, which are selectable by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1992Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Inventor: Eduardo Betancourt
