The present disclosure provides a valve (123), comprising a channel body (1231) defining a bent channel space, an elastically flexible membrane (1233), which separates a control space (Sc) from a flow space (Sf) in the channel space, a control connection (1232), providing a fluid connection to the control space (Sc), The control space (Sc) is provided at a radially outermost portion (Co) of the channel space, as per a channel bending radius (Ro), such that the membrane (1233) is flexible between an open position, whereby a cross section of the flow space (Sf) is substantially that of the channel, and a closed position, whereby the membrane substantially seals against a radially innermost portion (Ci) of the channel, as per the channel bending radius (Ri). Use of the valve in a separator is disclosed, as well as a separator comprising such valve and a method of cleaning a separator body.

A separator tank and a gas compressor having a separator tank are provided. The separator tank includes a tank body defining an inner volume, a tank inlet pipe providing fluid communication with the inner volume of the tank body, wherein the tank inlet pipe tangentially penetrates the tank body and is oriented to direct fluid entering the tank body in a spiral fluid flow pathway, and a sump tube positioned to collect fluid flowing within the tank body, the sump tube comprising a vertically oriented opening oriented to align and capture fluid flowing along the spiral fluid flow pathway.

A dust filter is configured to filter air drawn into a vehicle canister. The dust filter includes a filtration member and a case. The case has an inner chamber for accommodating the filtration member. The case has a drainage port for draining liquid that has infiltrated the inner chamber. The drainage port is at least one opening formed at the bottom of the inner chamber. The case includes a cover that covers the drainage port. The cover has an outlet that opens to the outside. The outlet is lower than the drainage port. At least one baffle plate is disposed inside the cover. The baffle plate has a slope on the side of the baffle plate facing the drainage port, thereby forming a ramp.

A control system for turbine systems configured to utilize an intelligent model of particulate presence and accumulation within turbine systems to address engine maintenance, erosion, corrosion, and parts failure mitigation is disclosed. The control system may build an intelligent model of fluid flow based on the data value measured by at least one sensor and based on a database of known data values to provide an estimation of amount of ingress of air intake particles into the turbine system, fouling within the turbine system, erosion of at least a portion of the turbine system, and performance degradation rate of the turbine system.

A filter element including a filter media, an end cap, and a baffle. The filter media is configured to be secured within a housing. The housing includes an inlet configured to accept a fluid for filtering and the filter media including a circumferential outer surface. The end cap is positioned at and coupled to one end of the filter media. The baffle is positioned relative to the filter media at a position such that, when the filter element is correctly installed within the housing, the baffle is proximate the inlet of the housing. The baffle extends around only a portion of the circumferential outer surface of the filter media in a radial direction.

The present disclosure relates to dust extractor (1) comprising a dust cyclone container (3) having a contaminated portion downstream an air inlet (2) and a clean portion downstream the contaminated portion, and a dust separating part (9) there between. The contaminated portion is provided with a dust container (59). The dust extractor (1) comprises a fine filter section (12) arranged adjacent to the dust cyclone container (3) and having a contaminated section and a clean section downstream the contaminated section, and a fine filter part (15) is adapted to be provided between the contaminated section and the clean section. An air channel (47) runs between a clean side of the dust cyclone container (3) and a contaminated side of the fine filter part (15). The dust extractor also comprises a mobility section (66) comprising wheels and a blower/fan motor (10) for drawing air from the air inlet (2) through the dust extractor. The dust cyclone container (3) has a center axis (48) along its longitudinal extension, and the fine filter part (15) is provided at a radial distance from the dust cyclone container (3) along a plane (P) perpendicular to the center axis (48) of the dust cyclone container (3), the plane (P) coinciding with the dust cyclone container (3) and a portion of the fine filter part (15). The blower/fan motor (10) is adapted to be powered at least partly by at least one onboard battery (61), and preferably two batteries (61), wherein the at least one battery (61) is arranged to be received in at least one battery slot (62) provided in the fine filter section (12) or in the mobility section (66).

An air cleaner assembly is disclosed. In one aspect, the air cleaner assembly includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet, and including an access opening between the inlet and outlet. The air cleaner also includes a filter cartridge received within the housing and covering the access opening. The air cleaner also includes a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism is movable between an unlocked position in which the filter cartridge can be installed and removed from the housing and a locked position in which the filter cartridge is secured within the housing. The filter cartridge and lock mechanism include interacting features allowing the lock mechanism to be moved from the unlocked position to the locked position only when the filter cartridge is installed within the housing.
