An oil separator for a compressor comprising a tank and a lid for the tank, which comprises, in an integral manner, a valve body defining an outlet duct of the separator, a head of a coalescence filter, a body of an anti-condensate valve, a body of a minimum pressure valve and the relative connection ducts.

A filter for use at an airflow opening of bellows of a shock absorber. The filter device includes a filter body through which a gas, in particular air, can flow in in the direction of an air inflow direction and out in the direction of an air outflow direction. The airflow opening is a joint air inlet and air outlet opening. A fastening means is disclosed that is fitted with a filter, in particular a fastening ring fitted therewith, for fastening bellows to a shock absorber.

This document discloses a valve comprising a main valve closure body, arranged on a low pressure side of the valve and moveable to open towards the low pressure side, a control body, fixedly connected to the main valve closure body, such that a position of the main valve closure body is fixed relative to a position of the control body, a control chamber, partially defined by the control body, whereby a volume of the control chamber is variable in relation to the position of the control body, and a control fluid connector for controlling a pressure in the control chamber. The document also discloses use of the valve in a separator for separating dust and debris from an airflow, a separator comprising such a valve and a method of operating a separator.

A filtration system comprises a filter head assembly comprising an outlet slot, valve element, and latch element. The valve element is in fluid communication with the outlet slot and includes an open position and a closed position. In the open position fluid flow travels through the outlet slot. In the closed position fluid flow is prevented through the outlet slot. The latch element is configured to lock the valve element in the closed position. The filtration further comprises a filter cartridge structured to engage the filter head assembly. The filter cartridge comprises a first and second filter end. The filter cartridge comprises filter media and a keyed element disposed on the first filter end. The keyed element is structured for engagement of the latch element, wherein the engagement unlocks the valve element causing the valve element to be in the open position.

An apparatus to allow or stop a flow into an enclosed environment or piping system comprises: (a) a housing having an upper flow passage, a middle flow passage, a lower flow passage; (b) a first valve seat, wherein the first valve seat is between the upper flow passage and the middle flow passage, and wherein a first opening is formed on the first valve seat; (c) a first rotary valve inside the housing, moving inside the upper flow passage and above the first valve seat; (d) a second valve seat, wherein the second valve seat is between the middle flow passage and the lower flow passage, wherein a second opening is formed on the second valve seat; and (e) a second rotary valve inside the housing, moving inside the middle flow passage and above the second valve seat.

A vacuum cleaner including a suction inlet, a conduit in fluid communication with the suction inlet, a filter having a valve releasably connected to a filter inlet, the filter configured to collect debris drawn through the suction inlet. The vacuum cleaner further comprising a release mechanism moveable from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the filter is in fluid communication with the conduit to collect debris with the valve being open, and in the second position, the filter is disconnected from the conduit with the valve being closed. Movement of the release mechanism between the first and second positions closes the valve.

An air cleaner is includes a housing defining an interior cavity, the housing having an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The air cleaner also includes a filter cartridge with a media arrangement extending between first and second end caps. In one aspect, the first end cap defines a first opening to the interior volume of the media arrangement and the second end cap defines a second opening to the interior volume of the media arrangement. In one aspect, the first opening has a dimension that is less than half a corresponding dimension of the second opening. The air cleaner can also include a valve arrangement in fluid communication with the first opening that allows airflow through the first opening in a first direction from the interior volume to the exterior side and prevents airflow through the first opening in a second direction from the exterior side into the interior volume.

An apparatus to allow or stop an air flow into an enclosed environment or piping system comprises (a) a housing, (b) a first valve seat, (c) a first sealing member, (d) a second valve seat, (e) a second sealing member, (f) at least one locking mechanism configured to limit a movement of the first sealing member and/or the second sealing member; wherein the first sealing member moves away from the first valve seat when the second pressure is greater than the first pressure in a predetermined pressure difference; wherein the second sealing member moves away from the first valve seat when the third pressure is greater than the second pressure in a predetermined pressure difference; wherein the first pressure communicates with a system pressure in the piping system; and wherein the third pressure communicates with an ambient air pressure.

Embodiments of air admittance valve assembly and plumbing system incorporating the same are provided herein. In some embodiments, a valve assembly comprising a housing, a first valve comprising a first valve sealing member and a first valve seat, and a second valve comprising a second valve sealing member and a second valve seat, and a pipe, an inlet, an outlet, a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, the first and second valve sealing member is closed by gravity and open based upon the pressure differential between the first zone, second zone and third zone.
