An electric priming pump device detachably couples to a centrifugal water pump on the suction side of the water pump, for priming thereof. The device comprises an enclosure and a base, wherein the enclosure contains a rotary vane peripheral bypass vacuum motor which is pressed against the base to form an air-tight seal. The device generates a vacuum for priming through use of a rotary vane peripheral bypass vacuum motor, which can remove large volumes of air quickly. An opening in the base receives a check valve fitting to protect the motor from water and slows loss of vacuum pressure after use. Additionally, a cone shaped protective cover protects components in the device and provides space for branding or advertisement.

A dual priming system connected with a centrifugal pump to evacuate gas therefrom includes a positive displacement pump fluidly connectable with the centrifugal pump and a venturi fluidly connectable with the centrifugal pump in parallel with the positive displacement pump. The dual priming system is operational in a first mode, wherein the positive displacement pump is inactive and the venturi is activated, and a second mode, wherein the positive displacement pump is activated and the venturi is activated.

A sewage discharge device detachably and hermetically connected to a sewage tank includes a drain pipe and a main box body. A drain control valve and a self-priming drain pump are provided inside the main box body. One end of the drain control valve is detachably and hermetically connected to the drain pipe. The other end of the drain control valve is detachably and hermetically connected to the self-priming drain pump. The self-priming drain pump is provided with a drain nozzle and a cleaning coupling. The drain nozzle is detachably and hermetically connected to a sewage pipe. The drain nozzle and the cleaning coupling protrude outside the main box body. The sewage discharge device of the present invention prevents users from contacting fecal matter and wastewater. Manual cleaning of the drain pipe is also eliminated, which is convenient to use.

A quick no-water startup apparatus for a centrifugal pump includes, from top to bottom in sequence, one-way passages (1), a self-priming chamber housing (41), sliding devices (5), a self-priming chamber (4), chamber partition plates (2) a concave-convex impeller (3), inlet channels (6) connected on two sides of the self-priming chamber (4), a spring device (7) of an upper-side x-shaped gas-liquid separation device, the upper-side x-shaped gas-liquid separation device (8), upper and middle-side gas-liquid separation device connecting shafts (9), a middle-side gas-liquid separation device (10), lower-side backflow-type gas-liquid separation devices (11), v-shaped backflow channels (122), an inverted v-shaped inlet channel (121), and an inlet. The quick no-water startup apparatus of the present invention enables the centrifugal pump to directly enter a normal operating condition after no-water startup, and 36 times of air exhaust can be completed while the concave-convex impeller (3) in the self-priming chamber (4) rotates by a circle in the early stage. Besides, the apparatus is provided with the upper, middle, and lower gas-liquid separation devices to fully realize separation of gas and liquid, so that gas can be exhausted more quickly and the chamber is filled with water. Therefore, the working efficiency is significantly improved and the operation process is greatly simplified.

A ventilator, including an enclosure; a tubing configured to receive an input gas; a flow outlet airline in fluid communication with the tubing, wherein the flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet, and the flow outlet airline is configured to supply an output gas to a user via the airline outlet; a breath detection airline including an airline inlet, wherein the airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outlet airline, and the breath detection airline is configured to receive breathing gas from the user during exhalation by the user via the airline inlet; a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline, wherein the pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user, and the pressure sensor is configured to generate sensor data indicative of breathing by the user.

A sealing ring gland receives a sealing ring. The sealing ring gland includes an inner wall surface which seals against an inner periphery of the sealing ring. An outer wall surface is radially offset from the inner wall surface and seals against an outer periphery of the sealing ring. The sealing ring is axially compressed between an upper wall surface and a lower wall surface of the sealing ring gland. At least one of the upper wall surface and the lower wall surface includes an expansion volume which provides space for the sealing ring to expand upon swelling of the sealing ring.

A ventilator includes an enclosure, a tubing configured to receive an input gas, and a flow outlet airline in fluid communication with the tubing. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet. The ventilator further includes a breath detection airline including an airline inlet. The airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outline airline. The ventilator further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The ventilator includes a controller in electronic communication with the pressure sensor and an internal oxygen concentrator in fluid communication with the tubing. The internal oxygen concentrator is entirely disposed inside the enclosure.

Systems and methods described herein provide a vacuum priming system for close-coupled pumps. The vacuum priming system is mounted separately from a centrifugal pump and powered by an electric motor. An auxiliary vacuum pump pulls prime (e.g., water or another liquid) through a solenoid valve that is in turn connected to a connecting tube. At one end of the connecting tube is a screen and prime sensor. The screen filters particulates to protect the vacuum pump, and the prime sensor may detect when the centrifugal pump is primed. The vacuum priming system includes a self-contained control panel with an auto operation mode to only pull power during priming, reducing power consumption over the lifetime of the pump system and improving efficiency.
