A fluid exchanger may exchange a fluid (e.g., coolant) in a reservoir (e.g., vehicle radiator) by removing or withdrawing a first fluid (e.g., old, spent, used, etc.) and by introducing a second fluid (e.g., new, clean, etc.). For example, the fluid exchanger may use a negative pressure, suction, or vacuum to draw the first fluid from the reservoir, and subsequently, the second fluid may be transferred into the reservoir using a negative pressure held in the reservoir, a positive pressure applied to the second fluid, or a combination thereof. The fluid exchanger may also include a multi-purpose, hand-held nozzle that can change an operation of the fluid exchanger from a withdrawing mode to a dispensing mode.

Provided is a connector including a plug and a socket. The socket includes: a socket body in which a second liquid outflow passage and a second liquid inflow passage are formed; a ball lock mechanism that is attached to the socket body and fixes the socket body to a key ring; and a switching mechanism that switches an open state and a closed state of a rotary valve. The switching mechanism includes an opening/closing arm that regulates releasing of the fixation of the socket body to the key ring by the ball lock mechanism in the open state.

A fluid distribution system includes an input tube, a plurality of vessels, and a distribution hub. The input tube is configured to extend from a supply vessel. Each vessel of the plurality of vessels includes an inflow conduit. The distribution hub includes a single inlet and a plurality of outlets. The single inlet is defined in a bottom of the distribution hub and is in fluid communication with the input tube such that the distribution hub is configured to receive fluid from the input tube through the single inlet. Each outlet of the plurality of outlets is in fluid communication with the single inlet and in fluid communication with a respective inflow conduit such that the distribution hub is configured to provide an equal portion of the fluid received through the single inlet to each of the inflow conduits.

A system whereby a mobile fuel station may refuel vehicles is disclosed. Fuel reservoirs are provided in a mobile fuel station that may store fuel and dispense fuel through a hybrid fuel line. Fuel nozzles are provided which can be detachably connected to the hybrid fuel line and can measure and display fuel dispensed from the mobile fuel station. Communication devices and a network are provided that allow a vehicle and a mobile fuel station to communicate location and status information wirelessly with the network. Refueling services and maintenance services that may be carried out using the mobile fuel station are also disclosed and claimed herein.

A transfer system for supplying a receiving tank of a receiving spacecraft with a supply gas from a supply spacecraft. A transfer tank is disposed on the supply spacecraft and configured to retain a supply gas. A transfer line is coupled to the transfer tank, and one end thereof maybe coupled to the receiving tank. A transfer valve is operatively coupled to the transfer line. A heating system is thermally coupled to the transfer tank. A control system is operatively coupled to the transfer valve and the heating system. The control system is operable to cause a transfer quantity of the supply gas to be heated, and to open the transfer valve, such that a difference between the increased pressure of the supply gas in the transfer tank and a pressure in the receiving tank causes the transfer quantity of the supply gas to flow to the receiving tank.

A system for high pressure processing of bulk, high viscosity flowable product includes a carrier having openings therein for receiving high pressure fluid into the carrier. A flexible product bag is disposed in the product carrier, the bag having a fitment for filling and emptying the bag with high viscosity, flowable product. An opening in the product carrier for access to the fitment. An emptying system cooperates with the carrier to act on the filled product bag to increase the pressure on the product in the product bag to assist in forcing the high viscosity product out of the product bag. A control system controls the operation of the emptying system.

The present invention relates to a liquid injection system for a vehicle, including: at least one or more consoles adapted to check a leakage on a vehicle moved along a production line and to supply liquids to the vehicle; and a circulation rail having a working section disposed in parallel with the production line and a pit section in which the consoles are repaired and the liquids are refilled to the consoles, so as to allow the consoles to be circulated along the working section and the pit section thereof. accordingly, the liquid injection system can circulate the consoles using the track type circulation rail, thereby minimizing the time loss generated in liquid injection processes to improve the productivity of the vehicle.

A pneumatic drum emptying station locates a lance over an opening in a container. A lance can be inserted into the container to remove material from the container. Pneumatic cylinders may lock a carriage supplying the lance at a desired position along an arm. The arm, rotatable relative to a base post, may be locked in a specific position with pneumatics. Supports may assist in reloading/repositioning containers relative to the base.

A fuel-urea injection apparatus including a common inlet for a vehicle may include a filler neck including the common inlet, into which a fuel injection nozzle and a urea injection nozzle, are inserted, a detector detecting whether the injection nozzle inserted into the filler neck is the fuel injection nozzle or the urea injection nozzle, a switchover valve mounted at a common injection pipe connected to the filler neck, a urea injection pipe connected between a urea outlet of the switchover valve and a urea tank, a fuel injection pipe connected between a fuel outlet of the switchover valve and a fuel tank, and a controller controlling an operation of the switchover valve in accordance with the injection nozzle detected by the detector as being inserted into the filler neck to supply either fuel or urea to the corresponding outlet of the fuel and urea outlets.
