Patent number: 10323848Abstract: Disclosed is an expansion tank having an internal cavity separated by a flexible diaphragm to form an upper pressurized gas portion and a lower pressurized fluid portion, and an indicator positioned at an upper part of the expansion tank in communication with the contents of the upper pressurized gas portion. The indicator is configured so as to display a first color if the operating conditions are normal in the pressurized gas portion, and a second color if the amount of moisture detected in the pressurized gas portion greater than or equal to a predetermined amount. Further disclosed is a method for detecting whether there is an excessive amount of moisture in a pressurized gas portion of an expansion tank by allowing pressurized gas from the pressurized gas portion to come into contact with the indicator, and viewing the color displayed by the indicator. As such, the tank can be simply visually inspected to determine whether there is a potential failure in the tank.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: AMTROL LICENSING INC.Inventors: Christopher A.

Patent number: 10323850Abstract: A dehumidifier for air is provided. The dehumidifier includes a housing with an inlet for process air, an outlet for process air, and an opening for regeneration air. The dehumidifier includes a dehumidification element, a fan for bringing process air to flow through at least a first portion of the dehumidification element, and a heating element to heat a part of process air flowing through the dehumidification element for regeneration of the dehumidification element by using the heated process air. A controller controls the amount of air that flows though the outlet for process air and the opening for regeneration air and the sensor/meter to calculate consumed power for the heating element, wherein the heating element is a PTC heater. The controller allows a user in a simple way to adjust the operating parameters to a desired operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Corroventa Avfuktning ABInventors: Knut Claesson, Anders Lindelöw, Johan Edström, Marcus Malmström, Per Ekdahl

Patent number: 10323851Abstract: A UV tube for killing microorganisms in a fluid generally includes a hollow tubular body, a UV isolation layer, and at least one UV light source. The hollow tubular body has an inlet port, an outlet port, and a fluid channel portion between the inlet port and the outlet port. The fluid channel portion has an inner surface. The UV isolation layer is disposed at the inner surface of the hollow tubular body for sheltering the inner surface of the hollow tubular body. The fluid is allowed to flow through the UV isolation layer. The UV light source is provided at the hollow tubular body and/or the UV isolation layer. The UV isolation layer can absorb and/or reflect the ultraviolet light emitting from the UV light source, so that the possibility of the fluid channel portion being irradiated by the UV light can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Sentec E&E Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jason An-Cheng Huang, Tzu-Chi Cheng
