Patent number: 11193504Abstract: A centrifugal pump to improve the efficiency of fluid flow, and minimize long term wear on the pump by progressively increasing fluid pressure as fluid moves from an eye of an impeller towards diffuser blades, into the volute and out through an outlet that is medio-laterally aligned with an inlet. The fluid pressure is increased by progressively increasing the volume through which the fluid travels. A tear-drop shaped volute casing surrounding the diffuser and impeller creates a pocket of maximum pressure just below the outlet. A dampener dampens the vibration of the motor. A cylindrical basket strainer is provided with a flat face abutting against the volute casing to distribute pressure evenly. A clamp ring is provided to easily seal and access the basket strainer using a plain rod.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: AQUASTAR POOL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Olaf Mjelde

Suction pulser intended for a heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device of a motor vehicle
Patent number: 10421336Abstract: The invention relates to a suction pulser (1) intended for a heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device of a motor vehicle, including a turbine (2), separation means (14) capable of defining a first air-flow channel enabling the flow of a first air stream intended to pass through a first axial portion (5) of the turbine (2) and a second air-flow channel enabling the flow of a second air stream intended to pass through a second axial portion (6) of the turbine (2). The separation means comprise a tubular member (14) defining an inner space forming at least one portion of the first air-flow channel, the second air-flow channel extending outside of the tubular member (14). A filter (35) is mounted upstream from the turbine and the tubular member in a housing (21).Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Valeo Systemes ThermiquesInventor: Philippe Vincent -
Patent number: 8206126Abstract: A pump unit (12) includes a pump housing (14), a pump cover (16), and an impeller (18) between the pump housing and pump cover. The pump housing and pump cover define a first channel (32) and a second channel (34) each having an inlet and an outlet. The impeller has first vanes (36) cooperating with the first channel and second vanes (38) cooperating with the second channel. The outlet of the second channel is constructed and arranged to provide fuel to an engine upon rotation of the impeller. A jet pump (38) is fluidly connected with the outlet of the first channel such that as the impeller rotates, the jet pump causes fuel to be drawn into the reservoir (37). Connecting structure (44, 44?) fluidly connects the first and second channels such that upon rotation of the impeller, fuel in the second channel flows into the first channel to prime the first channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems US, Inc.Inventors: John Wattai, Matthias Vogel

Patent number: 6797401Abstract: Electromagnetic wave absorbing materials comprising magnetic alloy particles and an insulating matrix are disclosed. The magnetic alloy particles comprise a transition metal such as Fe and/or Co, and further comprise at least one refractory metal such as Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta and W. The magnet alloy particles may further include Ni and/or Al, or other alloying additions which provide the desired absorption characteristics. In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic alloy particles comprise an Fe—Cr—Ni—Al alloy. The insulating matrix of the electromagnetic wave absorbing material may comprise a water miscible polysilicate or a refractory cement. The materials may be provided in the form of coatings that are applied to a substrate, such as the hot engine exhaust area of an aircraft. The electromagnetic wave absorbing materials are capable of functioning at very high temperatures for extended periods of time while retaining satisfactory electromagnetic wave absorbing properties.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2002Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Lockheed-Martin CorporationInventor: Dale P. Herron

Patent number: 5593112Abstract: The nacelle of the aircraft is purged and the sidewall of the vector nozzles of the gas turbine engine in the nacelle is cooled by utilizing the engine fan air to drive ejector pumps mounted in series flow relationship, a rectangular mixing zone and a diffuser with a rectangular cross section and a step in the exhaust nozzle gaspath. This results in minimizing the amount of fan air for driving the system and enhancing engine thrust and enhanced sidewall cooling because the temperature of the mixed air is lower than heretofore known systems.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1994Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Mark S. Maier, Eric J. Gamble, Jack W. Wilson, Eliott L. Calzadilla, Gerald F. Goetz

Patent number: 4883410Abstract: A liquid fuel pump arrangement for delivering fuel to an engine comprises a liquid-ring pump including a motor driven bladed impeller rotor which is located eccentrically within a cylindrical bore of a chamber forming part of a hollow pump body structure. The hollow pump body structure also accommodates a motor-driven prime pump impeller which pumps fuel within the pump body structure to an aircraft or other engine. An inner end wall of the liquid ring pump provides the liquid ring with access to the liquid fuel within the pump body structure while an outer end wall of the liquid ring pump has an air/vapor inlet port through which the bladed impeller of the liquid ring pump during rotation thereof draws air/vapor and an air/vapor outlet port the flow of air/vapor expelled therefrom by compression of the air/vapor within the liquid ring in response to rotation of the bladed impeller being restricted by flow restriction means.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1989Date of Patent: November 28, 1989Assignee: Plessey Overseas LimitedInventors: John Goddard, Peter Taylor

Patent number: 4431377Abstract: A compressor which compresses a principal flow at low pressure and recompses a secondary flow at medium pressure to deliver a common flow at high pressure. The compressor includes, in addition to compression devices for the principal flow, static devices forming an induction nozzle housed in the scatterer and devices to introduce therein the secondary flow, the principal flow constituting the drive flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1981Date of Patent: February 14, 1984Assignees: Hispano-Suiza, Societe Nationale d'Etude et de Construction Moteurs d'Aviation SNECMAInventors: Joseph Plotkowiak, Herve A. Quillevere
