A moisture condensate separator for use with an air compressor and a pneumatic machine includes a body, a separation assembly, and a valve assembly. The body may define an interior chamber including a condensate accumulation zone, a compressor supply inlet, a machine supply outlet, a cylinder, an auxiliary inlet, and a drain hole. The separation assembly may be located in the interior chamber and fluidly communicated with the compressor supply inlet and the machine supply outlet so as to accumulate moisture condensate in the accumulation zone. The valve assembly may include a piston movable between an open and closed position. A biasing member may bias the piston toward the closed position. Auxiliary pressure provided through the auxiliary inlet may act on the piston and move the piston to the open position, thereby allowing the accumulated moisture condensate to drain.

An apparatus for dispensing pressurized air and/or tire sealant from a pressurized can. The apparatus comprising a nozzle and a locking element for the nozzle and/or a cap including a free length of hose that is positioned within the cap. The locking element locks the nozzle in the non-dispensing position for safety during non-use or in a dispensing position for ease of use. The hose provides an extension for the nozzle for hard to reach places, and stores fully wound within the cap, such as along the inner circumference of the cap.

A central tire inflation system configured to monitor and maintain an air pressure on the tires of a vehicle includes a housing, a central processing unit, a controller, and a valve. The housing has a plurality of walls and a bottom forming an interior volume. The central processing unit has the necessary electronics to receive, store, transmit and manipulate data. The controller has a plurality of modes of operation wherein the modes of operation include default parameters for air pressure within the tires of the vehicle. The valve is configured to direct air flow as required into or out of the tires, the valve being operably coupled to the controller. The central tire inflation system is configured to monitor air pressure of the tires and provide inflation or deflation thereof based the mode of operation.

A bicycle rim has rim a pair of rim flanges that defines a tire channel. A rim strip extends across the tire channel. The rim strip includes a pair of flange bumpers configured to cover the rim flanges. The flange bumpers each define a flange channel in which one of the rim flanges is received. A pair of safety humps define corresponding tire seating sections where a tire is seated when inflated. The rim strip further includes a drop seal that seals with the beads of the tire to facilitate seating of the tire during inflation.

A rotary union having a housing, a shaft rotatably disposed within the housing, and a tube having a first end sealingly disposed within the shaft and a second end sealingly coupled to the housing. A tire inflation system may comprise a rotary union externally mounted to a vehicle wheel end or mounted to a vehicle fairing.

An inflation manifold connected to dual pneumatic tires by air hoses provides a central location for tire inflation and location of pressure sensors. A hose block connected to dual pneumatic tires by air hoses provides a central location for location of pressure sensors. The pressure sensors may be TPMS sensors or a combination of TPMS sensor and pressure gauge.

An apparatus for transferring air from one vessel to another vessel that includes a hose of predetermined diameter and length having a first end and a second end; a first device attached to the first end of the hose for removing air or other gas from a first vessel; and a second device attached to the second end of the hose for dispensing the air or other gas from the first vessel into a second vessel or out of the second end of the hose.

An apparatus for transferring air from one vessel to another vessel that includes a hose of predetermined diameter and length having a first end and a second end; a first device attached to the first end of the hose for removing air or other gas from a first vessel; and a second device attached to the second end of the hose for dispensing the air or other gas from the first vessel into a second vessel or out of the second end of the hose.

A pump system includes a pneumatic pump, a hose, a nozzle that can attach to a tire of a vehicle, and a processing device. The processing device receives a target tire pressure for the tire, receives a current tire pressure of the tire, and controls the operation of the pneumatic pump according to the target tire pressure and the current tire pressure. A method includes receiving a target tire pressure for a tire of a vehicle, receiving a current tire pressure of the tire, and controlling operation of a pneumatic pump according to the target tire pressure and the current tire pressure.

A control system for a motor vehicle includes a central tire inflation system (CTIS) electronic controller, the CTIS controller being configured to control the CTIS to cause inflation and deflation of one or more tires, the CTIS controller being configured to cause the CTIS to operate in a selected one of a plurality of operating modes in each of which the system is configured to set a pressure of one or more tires of the vehicle to a predetermined tire pressure value, the CTIS controller being configured to receive data indicative of a type of tire fitted to the vehicle, the controller being configured to prevent operation in a predetermined at least one of the plurality of operating modes in dependence on the data indicative of tire type.
