  • Publication number: 20010007058
    Abstract: A remote control sub-system for use in controlling a fluid circuit wherein the fluid circuit includes at least one tubing segment which is operatively engaged with a flow control device such as a pump so that the pump is operable to force fluid to flow in and through the tubing segment. The remote control sub-system has a remote control device with a switching member operatively connected thereto; the remote control device being disjoined from the flow control device yet being disposed in operative communication therewith such that activation of the switching member is effective to turn on or off the flow control device to start or stop the flow of fluid through the tubing segment.

  • Patent number: 6230690
    Abstract: A subtank is connected to a bracket fitted in an opening of a fuel tank via a L-shaped sliding plate. The L-shaped plate is movably supported by the bracket, and the subtank is rotatably supported by the L-shaped plate. A spring force is applied to the subtank toward the fuel tank by a spring via the L-shaped plate. Accordingly, a fuel supply apparatus is easily installed in a flat fuel tank without enlarging the opening of the fuel tank.

  • Patent number: 6227222
    Abstract: A gas compressor system draws and compresses gas from a well, wherein the gas has entrained liquid and vapor. The apparatus has a scrubber vessel for receiving the gas and separating at least a portion of the liquid. A storage vessel integral with the scrubber stores seal liquid. The seal liquid is injected into the gas before a single stage liquid ring pump which uses the seal liquid to compress the gas. The compressed gas along with entrained seal liquid is routed to a separator vessel having a coalescing filter. The entrained seal liquid is separated from the gas and routed back to the storage vessel.
