A blower is provided that may include a fan that creates airflow; a lower body forming a lower space therein in which the fan may be disposed, and having at least one suction hole through which air passes; a first upper body positioned above the lower body, and forming a first inner space that communicates with the lower space of the lower body; a second upper body positioned above the lower body, and forming a second inner space that communicates with the lower space of the lower body, the second upper body being spaced apart from the first upper body; and a space formed between the first upper body and the second upper body, and opened in a frontward-rearward direction. The first upper body may include a first slit formed through the first upper body such that air in the first inner space may be discharged into the space, and the second upper body may include a second slit formed through the second upper body such that air in the second inner space may be discharged into the space.

A fuel system for a vehicle comprising a fuel tank having a fuel tank reservoir. A lift pump is outside of the fuel tank and includes an inlet, and first and second outlets, with the inlet being configured to receive fuel from the fuel tank. The lift pump is configured to output fluid from the first outlet at a first prescribed pressure. A venturi pump is located within the fuel reservoir and defines a venturi pump reservoir. The venturi pump includes a venturi jet including a drive inlet configured to be fluidly connectable to the first outlet of the lift pump to receive fluid therefrom. A suction inlet is configured to be placeable in fluid communication with the fuel tank reservoir and to draw fluid from the fuel tank reservoir into the venturi pump reservoir in response to fluid flowing through the venturi jet at the first prescribed pressure.

In a vacuum ejector provided with a seal valve mechanism between a vacuum generation mechanism and a break flow path, the seal valve mechanism includes a valve plug that is biased toward a sealing opening from the break flow path side to block the seal opening, and is configured to open the seal opening by moving the valve plug away from the seal opening using a piston portion that operates according to supply air supplied from the vacuum generation mechanism.

The first upper body may include a first slit formed through the first upper body such that air in the first inner space may be discharged into the space, and the second upper body may include a second slit formed through the second upper body such that air in the second inner space may be discharged into the space.

A blower includes a first tower and a second tower spaced apart from each other each having discharge ports that face each other. A gate is movably installed in at least one of the first tower or the second tower to protrude into and out of the space between the first and second towers to change a flow of air discharged out of the discharge ports. A guide motor may be configured to move the gate. The discharge ports may be provided at a rear side of the space to discharge air toward a front of the space, while the gate may be moved to cover the front side of the space to guide air upward.

A blower includes a lower case provided with an inlet; a first tower that extends upward from the lower case and is formed with a first outlet; a second tower that extends upward from the lower case and is provided with a second outlet; a fan that is rotatably disposed on the lower case; a first air flow converter that is disposed at the first tower; and a second air flow converter that is disposed at the second tower, each of the first air flow converter and the second air flow converter including: a guide board that is disposed inside the first tower or the second tower or protrudes through a first wall or a second wall; an upper gear that rotates in engagement with an upper portion of the guide board; a lower gear that rotates in engagement with a lower portion of the guide board; a shaft that is connected to each of the upper gear and the lower gear to rotate together; and a motor that is connected to one of the upper gear and the lower gear to provide a driving force.

A hydrogen fuel system for an aircraft is configured to provide hydrogen fuel to the engines for propulsion. The fuel system also may provide hydrogen fuel to a fuel cell arrangement to generate electricity for use on the aircraft. The fuel cell arrangement may be selectively coupled to the feed lines for the engines. A ventilation system regulates the pressure within the one or more fuel tanks and the feed lines. The ventilation system can vent hydrogen vapor to atmosphere or can transfer hydrogen vapor between the fuel tanks and the fuel cell arrangement. A jet pump and accumulator may pull vapor from the feed lines as needed.

A jet pump comprising a jet nozzle for accelerating a propellant. The jet nozzle has a convergent inlet part and an outlet part connected to the convergent inlet part. The outlet comprises an inner wall diverging at an opening angle. The opening angle is designed such that a propellant flowing through the outlet part at subsonic speed is detached from the inner wall and a propellant flowing through the outlet part at supersonic speed is guided by the inner wall. An automatic, cost-effective and simple changeover of the jet pump to different pressure ratios is hence provided.
