  • Publication number: 20220241804
    Abstract: An electrostatic spray system (10) includes a supply module (14) configured to store a supply of charged liquid for spraying by an electrostatic sprayer (26). A feed module (12) is connected to the supply module to fill the supply tank (44) of the supply module as needed during spraying to provide a continuous supply of liquid for the electrostatic sprayer. The feed module is controlled such that the feed module is electrically isolated from a main reservoir (18) connected to earth ground potential when the feed module is providing liquid to the supply module, and the feed module is electrically isolated from the supply module when the feed module is receiving liquid from the main reservoir. The feed module transfers the liquid from the main reservoir to the supply module without electrically connecting the supply module to the main reservoir (18).

  • Patent number: 10914304
    Abstract: A pneumatic timing valve includes a spool and seal system having a first seal cartridge and a spool. The first seal cartridge has an annular body with radial ports. The spool is positioned within the first seal cartridge and movable between a first and second position. The spool has a central bore and radial ports that intersect the central bore. The radial ports of the spool complement the radial ports of the seal cartridge. The seal cartridge radial ports, the spool radial ports, and the central bore of the spool define fluid flow passages.
