COLLECTION AND USE OF WATER FROM AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

A structure having an area to be conditioned includes an air conditioning system having a heat exchanger and a condensate drain pan positioned adjacent to the heat exchanger such that a condensate will gravitate from the heat exchanger to the condensate drain pan. A system is associated with the area to be conditioned. The system is arranged downstream from and in fluid communication with an outlet of the condensate drain pan. The condensate from the condensate drain pan is deliverable to the system automatically.

Animal Water Reservoir with Replaceable Inserts
20230172160 · 2023-06-08 ·

An animal drinking reservoir with replaceable inserts is presented. The animal drinking reservoir with replaceable inserts consists of a reservoir body and a replaceable reservoir insert. The reservoir body serves as a mounting fixture that attaches along a hamster case or any other suitable surface or body. The replaceable reservoir insert is installed along the mounting fixture, where the replaceable reservoir serves as a water dispensing unit suitable for supplying drinking water for animals. Once the reservoir insert is due for a water change, a user can easily swap the spend reservoir insert with a fresh reservoir insert.

AUTOMATIC FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A fluid delivery system for delivering a fluid from an automatic water source to animals housed in cages in high density caging systems may comprise a flexible, non-metal, hose-type manifold line having a plurality of circular apertures and a plurality of injection molded plastic saddle fittings each configured to fit into an aperture. Each cage location may comprise two apertures opposite one other and two saddle fittings fit thereto. The saddle fittings may further comprise a U-shaped portion configured to fit around the flexible manifold line, an inward-facing protrusion sized and configured to penetrate and seal to an aperture, and one or more ribs to seal the aperture and/or grip the flexible manifold.

Pet fountain assembly with lift tube

A pet drinking fountain assembly having a pump forming part of a fountain mounting arrangement that includes a lift tube coupling a cover to the pump coupled to a lower basin by a mount. The mount and lift tube attenuate pump noise and vibration by providing isolation from the basin and cover and can function as dampeners. In a preferred embodiment the pump is part of a pump module that includes a module housing to which the pump is attached by another noise-attenuating mount. Each mount is formed by one or more suction cups with the cups and lift tube made of vibration dampening material, such as a resilient vibration dampening or isolating material that can be an elastomeric material. The module includes a lift tube coupling discharge that registers in fluid flow communication with a pump outlet and can include a ring or bushing therebetween providing additional noise attenuation.
