A drain valve for a pressurised fluid chamber comprises a collection chamber for collecting pressurised fluid from the pressurised fluid chamber; a vent chamber for venting the pressurised fluid from the collection chamber; a master valve between the collection chamber and the vent chamber; and a slave valve between the pressurised fluid chamber and the collection chamber. The master valve is configured to open the slave valve when the master valve is closed, and to close the slave valve when the master valve is open. The master valve is configured to open the slave valve to allow pressurised fluid from the pressurised fluid chamber to enter the collection chamber, and configured to close the slave valve to allow pressurised fluid from the collection chamber to enter the vent chamber. The master valve and the slave valve cannot be shut at the same time.

A fuel filter has a filter housing and a fuel filter insert exchangeably arranged in the filter housing and provided with a prefilter element and a main filter element. Prefilter element and main filter element are positioned one behind the other in the filter housing in axial direction of the filter housing. A fuel discharge channel is arranged in the filter housing below the fuel filter insert. In operating position of the fuel filter insert in the filter housing, the raw sides of prefilter element and of main filter element are sealed relative to the fuel discharge channel by seal-tight contact of the fuel filter insert on the filter housing. The raw side of the main filter element, when the fuel filter insert is moved by axial movement away from the operating position, is fluidically connected with the fuel discharge channel via the raw side of the prefilter element.

A fuel filter insert for a fuel filter has a low-pressure region with prefilter element arranged therein. A high-pressure region arranged fluidically downstream of the low-pressure region has a main filter element arranged therein. Prefilter element and main filter element are arranged one atop the other axially in the fuel filter insert. A wall element projects away from the main filter element in axial direction and extends at least partially through the prefilter element. Low-pressure region and high-pressure region at least over sections thereof are separated from each other by the wall element. A fuel filter is provided with a filter housing in which the fuel filter insert is arranged. The filter housing has a fuel outlet and a fuel inlet for fuel prefiltered by the prefilter element. Fuel inlet and fuel outlet are fluidically positioned between low-pressure region and high-pressure region and a fuel pump is connectable thereto.

A hydronic system separator has an air separator with a vent release mechanism to remove air from the fluid within a hydronic system. The separator includes a magnetic assembly for collecting ferrous particles from the fluid. One or more screens are used to remove other particles from the fluid. The separator housing includes a removable debris collection receptacle that has a drain assembly.

A filter system for filtering a fluid has a filter housing with filter housing head module and housing cover. The filter housing accommodates a filter element with raw side and clean side. A fluid inlet is in fluid connection with the raw side of the filter element. A fluid outlet is in fluid connection with the clean side of the filter element. The filter housing head module has a tube section as a main channel connecting the clean side of the filter element to the fluid outlet when the housing cover is attached to the filter housing head module. The tube section projects into the clean side of the filter element and has a ball valve seat of a ball valve for closing or opening the main channel. The filter housing head module has a pump chamber of a pump as a bypass channel bypassing the ball valve seat.

A water separation group is for a fuel filtration and separation assembly of a vehicle fuel circulation system. The assembly extends along a longitudinal axis positionable in the vehicle in a horizontal position having a filtration group. The water separation assembly is associable to the filtration group for receiving filtered fuel, being positioned in series along the longitudinal axis. The water separation assembly has a main body defining a separation chamber and at an axial end, an outlet wall with an outlet mouth. A separator is accommodated in the separation chamber. A blocking device is below the separator to prevent the return of water to the separator. The blocking device has a blocking surface extending longitudinally forming an angle that inclines at least a portion of the blocking surface to allow water separated from the fuel to flow towards the outlet wall from which the blocking surface extends.

Fluid storage testing systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed. One or more embodiments include a closed-circuit storage volume testing system for testing a storage volume. The system may include a water tank, a pump and an oil/water separator.

A fuel water separator comprises a housing that defines an internal volume that receives a mixture. The fuel water separator further comprises a filter element that is positioned within the internal volume. The filter element comprises a first endplate and a second endplate that is located opposite the first endplate. The filter element further comprises a filter media that is coupled to the first endplate and the second endplate. The filter media is structured to separate a dispersed phase from a continuous phase of the mixture. The filter element further comprises a collection sump that is located below the first and second endplate and structured to receive the dispersed phase. The filter element further comprises a retention barrier disposed above the collection sump. The retention barrier comprises a drain opening structured to discharge the dispersed phase through the retention barrier into the collection sump.

A system for recovering gel-mass from a gel-mass-containing waste material. The system includes mangle rolls, a heated accumulator for receiving and melting the gel-mass-containing waste material to provide an oil phase and a non-oil phase; a pumping system; an optional mixer; and a control system.

A kitchen garbage processor, includes: a processor body, a dewatering component, and an oil-water separating component, the processor body has a working platform disposed thereon, an inlet for dumping kitchen garbage is disposed on the working platform, a fore end of the dewatering component is communicated with the inlet and configured to send a kitchen garbage that to be processed to the dewatering component to separate a solid garbage from a liquid garbage; a solid garbage outlet configured for sending out a processed solid garbage and a liquid garbage outlet configured for sending out a residual liquid garbage are disposed at a rear end of the dewatering component; a fore end of the oil-water separating component is communicated with the liquid garbage outlet so as to send liquid garbage that to be processed to the oil-water separating component to separate oil from water; an oil outlet configured for sending out separated oil and a water outlet configured for sending out separated water are disposed at a rear end of the oil-water separating component. Purpose of separating solid garbage, oil and water simultaneously is realized.
