Abstract: A potted timer and circuit board assembly for use in a regenerative desiccant air dryer. The potted timer and circuit board assembly comprise a support member of a predetermined size and shape having a first surface and a second surface. A conductive pattern of a predetermined material and thickness is disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the support member. A predetermined quantity and arrangement of electronic components of a predetermined voltage is disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the support member for providing a timed electronic signal to a solenoid valve that pneumatically operates an air dryer. A non-conductive material of a predetermined composition encases the electronic components on the support member for insulating the electronic components from environmental elements. The support member has at least one exposed member on a side of the support member for engagement with at least one receptacle on such air dryer for creating an electrical current in the potted timer and circuit board assembly. An alignment means is disposed on at least one of opposing sides of the support member for engagement with at least one slot in such air dryer for aligning and holding the potted timer and circuit board assembly in a predetermined position in such air dryer.

Abstract: A valve seal system for passageway through a valve body emerging through a first generally flat and rigid surface, having a valve member including a resilient seal with generally flat exposed surface adapted to be brought into contact with the generally flat rigid surface, and having a generally circular, raised resilient ring portion extending from the generally flat exposed surface, the raised resilient ring portion adapted to be compressed against the generally flat rigid surface to seal the resilient seals against the generally flat rigid surface when said valve member is moved to a closed position by virtue of the raised resilient ring portion being compressed against the generally flat rigid surface.

Abstract: A desiccant canister assembly for use in an air dryer system includes a pair of concentrically disposed casings, top and bottom end caps, top and bottom porous plates and moisture absorbing material. A cylindrical opening is defined in between the casings. The top end cap affixes to the upper ends of the casings. The bottom end cap affixes to the lower ends of the casings. Each end cap features openings that allow air to flow through the cylindrical opening. The bottom porous plate is situated at a bottom of the cylindrical opening against the bottom cap. The top porous plate is slidably disposed within the cylindrical opening near the upper ends of the casings. The absorbing material is disposed within the cylindrical opening between the porous plates. The desiccant assembly also includes a mechanism for compacting the absorbing material between the porous plates. The desiccant assembly further includes a mechanism for aligning and securably retaining the desiccant canister assembly within a canister housing of the air dryer system. The latter mechanism includes a positioning bore defined within an inner one of the casings and through a center of each end cap. The positioning bore receives a threaded rod extending from a center of an upper base of the housing about which the desiccant assembly securably retains through a lock washer and a stop nut so that an outer ring portion of the top cap aligns with and seals via an o-ring against a sealing flange of the housing.
