Abstract: In a centrifugal separator for separating a liquid from a compressed gas, a baffle is provided to separate the centrifugal chamber into an upper sub-chamber and a lower sub-chamber but does not contact the walls of the chamber thereby being insufficient to prevent downward flow of separated liquid along the interior wall of the two sub-chambers, and insufficient to prevent flow of compressed gas from one sub-chamber to the other sub-chamber, the baffle nevertheless being sufficient to prevent turbulent gas flow in the lower sub-chamber when collected liquid is drained therefrom.

Abstract: An energy collector allows flow of electrical energy between a vehicle and a rail of a railway track. The energy collector includes a vehicle mounting device for mounting the energy collector to such vehicle; a collector shoe for sliding electrical contact on such rail; and a lever arm having a first end and a second end. The energy collector also includes a bottom torsion unit connected to the collector shoe and connected to the second end of the lever arm. The bottom torsion unit is disposed so that the collector shoe is forcefully and generally aligned upon such rail even as the collector shoe encounters physical deviations along a surface of such rail. The energy collector further includes a top torsion unit connected to the vehicle mounting device and connected to the first end of the lever arm. The top torsion unit is disposed so that a generally downwardly oriented force is applied to and conveyed by the lever arm to and through the bottom torsion unit to the collector shoe so as to encourage contact between the collector shoe and such rail. The energy collector additionally includes a shunt engageable at an initial end to such vehicle and connected at a terminal end to the collector shoe. When a potential is applied across such vehicle and such rail, the energy collector permits electrical energy to flow from such vehicle through both the shunt and the collector shoe to such rail during both static and dynamic operation of such vehicle.

Abstract: An aftercooler apparatus condenses vapor in untreated gas discharged from a compressor of a gas drying system. The apparatus includes a radiator, a bypass line and a bypass valve. The radiator features a first inlet, a second inlet and an outlet. The first inlet connects to the compressor from which it receives the untreated gas. The outlet connects to the next component in the gas drying system. The radiator condenses the vapor suspended in the untreated gas and passes aftercooled gas resulting therefrom via its outlet to the next component. The bypass line, through which the untreated gas may flow, connects at one end between the compressor and the first inlet and at another end to the second inlet. The bypass valve senses the difference in pressure between the first inlet and the outlet. The bypass valve also controls the flow of the untreated gas in response to the difference in pressure. When the difference in pressure is below a preset value, the bypass valve closes thereby allowing the untreated gas to flow into the first inlet and through the radiator wherefrom the aftercooled gas passes to the next component while carrying therewith the condensed moisture for expulsion from the system. When the difference in pressure reaches or exceeds the preset value, the bypass valve opens thereby diverting the flow of the untreated gas through the bypass line and into the second inlet so as to defrost in the radiator frozen moisture accumulated therein that caused the difference in pressure.

Abstract: An air dryer includes two desiccant chambers, a control system and a cover member into which a shuttle valve mechanism has been incorporated. Secured atop the chambers, the cover member defines an outlet port, first and second passages, and a horizontal chamber between the passages in which a shuttle valve can be moved reciprocatingly. The horizontal chamber has two ends, a first interconnected to the first desiccant chamber by the first passage and a second interconnected to the second desiccant chamber by the second passage. The outlet port of the dryer extends from the horizontal chamber. Governing the flow of air into and out of the dryer, the control system periodically switches the incoming flow of untreated air between the two desiccant chambers. The control system thus determines which desiccant chamber will operate in a drying mode, with the other being operated in a purge mode. The desiccant chamber from which dried air is provided determines the end of the horizontal chamber to which the shuttle valve is moved. When moved to the second end, the shuttle valve opens the first passage to the outlet port. When moved to the first end, the shuttle valve opens the second passage to the outlet port. The shuttle valve defines a by-pass port that allows dried air from the drying chamber to be diverted to the purging chamber. This allows moisture collected in the purging chamber during the previous drying mode to be evaporated and expelled so as to regenerate the desiccant therein.
