Beer dispensing system with gas pressure reservoir

A home beer dispensing apparatus has a keg having a self-contained bag filled with a beer and a pressure system. The pressure system creates a pressurized air space between the keg inner walls and the bag to assist in the dispensing of the beer. The pressure system has a keg one-way air valve mounted to a top wall of the keg to permit entry of pressurized air into the keg. The pressure system has a pressure reservoir mounted in the dispensing apparatus outside the keg and in fluid flow communication with the keg one-way valve. The reservoir stores a charge of pressurized air and supplies at least a portion of this charge to the keg through the keg air valve when the dispensing apparatus is operated to dispense the beer. The reservoir provides a reserved charge of pressurized gas that is on hand to reduce dampening pressure fluctuations during beer dispensing which can result in beer frothing, especially during the early stages of beer dispensing when the air head space in the keg is small. Further, the apparatus may also have a pressure sensing system adapted to measure time rate of pressure change in the keg. The apparatus has a signaling device responsive to the time rate of pressure change in the keg to produce a signal related to volume of beer remaining in the bag. Preferably, the signal is displayed visually on the dispensing apparatus.

Flow rate control apparatus

A flow rate control apparatus is constructed by integrally assembling a pulsation-attenuating mechanism for balancing a regulated pilot pressure from a pressure-regulating section and a primary pressure of a pressure fluid flowing through a fluid passage to attenuate pressure fluctuation caused by pulsation of the pressure fluid, and a flow rate control mechanism for controlling a flow amount of the pressure fluid flowing through the fluid passage by adjusting a valve lift amount of a valve plug with a linear actuator controlled based on a rotary driving control signal from a controller.

Two Engine System With A Gaseous Fuel Stored In Liquefied Form

A gaseous fuelled two-engine system comprises a high pressure direct injection engine as the main power source and an auxiliary fumigated engine that can be fuelled with vapor removed from a storage tank that stores the gaseous fuel in liquefied form at cryogenic temperatures. The fuel supply system comprises a cryogenic pump for raising the pressure of the fuel to the injection pressure needed for the high pressure direct injection engine, and the cryogenic pump is powered by the auxiliary fumigated engine.

Apparatus and method for producing hydrogen

An apparatus and method for producing a hydrogen-enriched reformate. The apparatus includes a fuel processor for converting a fuel to a reformate having fluctuations in pressure and or flow rate, means for reducing the fluctuations, a compression unit for compressing the reformate and one or more of a purification unit and a storage unit downstream of a compression unit. Means for reducing the fluctuations in the reformate can include one or more of a buffer and a conduit for providing a controlled flow of a supplemental fluid to an inlet of the compression unit. The supplemental fluid can include the compressed reformate, a hydrogen-enriched reformate, and mixtures thereof. The apparatus can include means for regulating power to the compression unit that can incrementally increase power to the compression unit particularly during start up. The purification unit can include one or more of a hydrogen selective membrane and a pressure swing adsorption unit. Methods for producing hydrogen are also disclosed.

Internal combustion engine having a hydraulic device for adjusting the rotation angle of a camshaft relative to a cranks haft

ActiveUS20050274344A1Reduce pressure fluctuationEliminate pressure peakFluid couplingsValve drivesStatorEngineering
A hydraulic device for adjusting the rotation angle of a camshaft relative to a crankshaft in an internal combustion engine. The device has a rotor, with blades arranged around its periphery. A stator is connected in a rotationally secure manner to a drive wheel. The rotor and the stator together form pressure chambers, which can be filled with hydraulic fluid via a hydraulic fluid system, in which there is disposed a volume accumulator.

Method and device for cleaning filters for dust-laden waste gases

InactiveUS7300481B2Minimize installationMinimize productionCombination devicesAuxillary pretreatmentExhaust fumesFilter element
The invention relates to a method for cleaning filters for dust-laden waste gases, including several filter elements (2) which are arranged vertically in a filter housing (1) and which have an upper open end (16) and a lower closed end (15) with at least one feed line (9) for the dust-laden waste gases and at least one discharge line (11) for the cleaned waste gases, in addition to a device for injecting surges of compressed air into the open end (16) of the filter elements (2). In order to reduce pressure fluctuations in the filter and to provide efficient cleaning with pulsations of compressed air in the low pressure range i.e. from approximately 0.8 to 3 bars, the filter is divided into several filter modules (1) respectively including at least one filter element (2). At least two filter modules (1) are arranged in a filter housing (10) or a filter chamber. The filter modules (1) are cleaned alternately and each filter module (1) is associated with a discharge line (11) with a shut-off element (3) for the clean gas. A control device (19) is provided for the shut-off elements (3), whereby when the filter modules (1) which are to be cleaned are changed, the shut-off element (3) of the cleaned filter modules (1) is open and the shut off element (3) is closed in a diametrically opposed manner for the filter module (1) to be cleaned. As a result, any pressure fluctuations in the filter are minimised.
