Automated fluid handling system comprising a housing and two or more fluid handling units arranged as interchangeable modular components with an external fluidics section and an internal non fluidics section, and wherein the housing comprises a liquid handling panel with two or more of component positions for receiving said interchangeable modular components such that the external fluidics section is separated from the non fluidics section by the liquid handling panel.

A device for transporting a fluid medium to a metering module for metering a liquid reducing agent into an exhaust gas system in order to reduce pollutants in an exhaust gas. The device has at least one heated transport line and at least one system component with a heated internal region. The transport line has a line connecting piece, and the system component has a module connecting piece that is directly or indirectly coupled to the line connecting piece. The device includes at least one heat conducting sleeve that can be inserted in the line connecting piece and the module connecting piece. The heat conducting sleeve is thermally coupled to the heated transport line and/or the heated internal region in order to transmit heat.

The invention relates to a tank insert module (1) for extracting liquid from a vehicle tank, comprising a basic body (2) composed of a plastic, on which basic body are arranged a liquid extraction device (23), which comprises an extraction opening (4) which can be assigned to the tank interior space, and at least one electric heating element (7), wherein the electric heating element (7) comprises a heating body (8) with an extrusion-coated plastic encapsulation (9). It is provided here that the plastic encapsulation (9) has a plastic which can be welded to the basic body, in particular high-density polyethylene, and/or the same plastic as the basic body (2), and also at least one filler material with high thermal conductivity, and is welded to the basic body (2) at at least one contact point (17). The invention also relates to a liquid tank for vehicles.

An EUV light source target material handling system is disclosed which may comprise a droplet generator having a target material reservoir in which the target material may be replenished while a nozzle portion of the droplet generator is maintained at temperature. Also disclosed is a system for selectively draining spent target material.

The temperatures of fuel oils stored in fuel tanks 12a, 12b, 12c are separately detected by temperature sensors 52a, 52b, 52c, respectively. Based on the detection results, a CPU 49 heats a heat resistant fuel oil among the fuel oils using a heat exchanger 54, such that the temperature of an oil mixture generated by mixing the fuel oils satisfies a predetermined temperature condition. After the fuel oils including the heated heat resistant fuel oil are mixed in a blender 13, the CPU 49 detects the viscosity of the generated oil mixture using a viscometer 33. Thereafter, based on the detection result, the CPU 49 controls the mixture ratio or a heating temperature of the heat resistant fuel oil, such that the viscosity of the oil mixture satisfies a predetermined viscosity condition.

A system is provided that allows relatively low temperature water to be withdrawn from a pipeline, heated and then returned to the pipeline. At least one embodiment includes a device for adjusting the rate of flow through a primary pipe so that desired temperatures are maintained during the heating process.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for pressurizing delivery of a low-temperature liquefied material, and more particularly, to an apparatus for pressurizing delivery of a low-temperature liquefied material, which can convert the low-temperature liquefied material into a high-pressure gas and easily deliver the gas without causing changes in a composition and flashing phenomenon.

A shallow fluid extractor is configured to remove a low level of a fluid from a designated area. The shallow fluid extractor includes a vacuum pump assembly further including an electrical power source connected to a vacuum and a pump. A pipe pick up assembly is configured within the designated area and connected to the vacuum pump assembly. When the low level of the fluid is reached the vacuum draws the fluid through the pipe pick up assembly into the vacuum pump assembly which is then pumped away by the vacuum pump assembly.

A medical treatment system, such as peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a peritoneal dialysis system may include a control system that can adjust the volume of fluid infused into the peritoneal cavity to prevent the intraperitoneal fluid volume from exceeding a pre-determined amount. The control system can adjust by adding one or more therapy cycles, allowing for fill volumes during each cycle to be reduced. The control system may continue to allow the fluid to drain from the peritoneal cavity as completely as possible before starting the next therapy cycle. The control system may also adjust the dwell time of fluid within the peritoneal cavity during therapy cycles in order to complete a therapy within a scheduled time period. The cycler may also be configured to have a heater control system that monitors both the temperature of a heating tray and the temperature of a bag of dialysis fluid in order to bring the temperature of the dialysis fluid rapidly to a specified temperature, with minimal temperature overshoot.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a water management system for use on board a passenger transport vehicle. The water management system may be used to address and manage excess humidity, water leaks, or any other instance when water or other liquid may collect at a certain location. The disclosure provides a system for managing excess water and for optionally delivering the water to another location. The removal location may be a disposal outlet or it may be a beneficial use of the collected water on-board the vehicle.
