US Patent:

52778274, Jan 11, 1994

Filed:

Dec 4, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/986122

Inventors:

William T. Osborne - Torrance CA

International Classification:

B01D 17038

US Classification:

210787

Abstract:

Apparatus is described for use in an industrial plant that contain machines (14) having oil reservoirs (12), which facilitates cleaning of the oil. The apparatus includes a stand (20) and equipment mounted on the stand, including input and output hoses (36,38) whose ends can be dropped into a machine oil reservoir. The equipment on the stand also includes a centrifuge (24), pump (26), valve (34), and porous filter device (40). In a first mode of operation, the pump draws oil from the reservoir to flow through the input hose into the centrifuge, and then to the output hose to flow back to the reservoir. The valve can be switched to a second mode wherein fluid from the input hose is directed through the pump to the porous filter device, for final cleaning of the oil before returning it to the reservoir. The stand has wheels to enable it to roll to another machine and clean its oil.

Appl. No.:

8/953954

Inventors:

William Osborne - Torrance CA

International Classification:

B01D 3600
B01D 2933
B01D 2952

US Classification:

210168

Abstract:

A system is provided for changing hydraulic oil in vehicles such as airplanes, which enables rapid replacement of dirty oil and rapid cleaning of oil to meet military/commercial aircraft specifications for reuse. The apparatus includes a frame (40), dirty and clean oil tanks (14, 16) mounted on the frame, a filter tank (30) with filters (32) mounted on the frame, and pump and valve means (20) for controlling the flow of oil. Initially, the apparatus is rolled up to an airplane, dirty oil in the hydraulic reservoir of the plane is pumped into the dirty oil tank, and clean oil from the clean oil tank is pumped into the airplane reservoir. Thereafter, while the apparatus is moved or is stationary, dirty oil from the dirty oil tank is pumped through filters of the filter tank and into the clean oil tank for an initial cleaning, and thereafter the oil is continually circulated from the clean oil tank through the filtered tank and back to the clean oil tank to polish the oil. The filter tank includes a filter region divider (64) that divides the filters into two groups (90, 92), a manifold divider (66), and a series conduit (84) that connects the first manifold region part (74) to the second filter region part (72).

William T. Osborne - Severn MD

Assignee:

Baltimore Aircoil Company, Inc. - Jessup MD

International Classification:

F25B 1500

US Classification:

62101

Abstract:

A method and apparatus combining absorption refrigeration and mechanical expansion refrigeration to chill an air conditioning medium wherein a mechanical refrigeration system is alternately (1) connected in series with an absorption refrigeration system during a cooling cycle to cool an external air conditioning medium, and (2) connected to drive the absorption system during a storage cycle to concentrate and store a strong internal liquid absorbent solution and to store an internal diluent refrigeration liquid which liquids are utilized during the cooling cycle.

Filed:

Aug 29, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/520639

Inventors:

William Osborne - Torrance CA

International Classification:

B01D 2954

US Classification:

2103232

Abstract:

A high flow filter system uses readily available filters of moderate capacity to provide a high capacity flow in a reliable and easily maintained structure. The system includes a pressure vessel (20, FIG. 2) with inlet and outlet ports (16, 42), and an outlet conduit structure (68) which holds multiple moderate capacity filters (50). The filters are exposed to the inside of the vessel, and pressured fluid in the vessel flows through the filters with the filtered fluid flowing into center conduits (54) that extend vertically through a central passage of each filter. In one system, the filtered fluid flows through the lower end of each center conduit, through radial conduits (60, 61) and a manifold or spider hub part (62) to a pipe (44) that extends through the vessel outlet port. In another system, the lower ends of the center conduits are connected through holes of a manifold plate, to a manifold region. A plurality of fittings (64) are each connected to the top of a central conduit with each fitting having an upper end received in a stabilizer (70).

Appl. No.:

8/167395

Inventors:

William T. Osborne - Torrance CA

International Classification:

B01D 17038

US Classification:

210787

Abstract:

A system is described for use in an auto maintenance shop which receives oil from the changing of vehicle oil and oil filters, to recycle the oil. The system includes an apparatus (10) that has a tank reservoir (12) for receiving contaminated oil. The apparatus also includes equipment mounted on the housing, comprising a centrifuge (24), a pump device (26), a valve (34), and a porous filter device (40). In a first mode of operation, the pump draws oil from the reservoir to flow through an input tube (36) into the centrifuge, and then to an output tube (38) to flow back to the reservoir. The centrifuge is operated long enough so the amount of oil flowing through it is at least ten times the amount of oil in the reservoir. The valve is then switched to a second mode wherein fluid from the input tube is directed through the pump to the porous filter device, for final cleaning of the oil before returning it to the reservoir.
