14 results about "Gravity feed" patented technology

Gravity feed is the use of earth's gravity to move something (usually a liquid) from one place to another. It is a simple means of moving a liquid without the use of a pump. A common application is the supply of fuel to an internal combustion engine by placing the fuel tank above the engine, e.g. in motorcycles, lawn mowers, etc. A non-liquid application is the carton flow shelving system.

Gravity Fed Smoker

A gravity fed smoker includes a smoking enclosure and an external stack. The stack is double walled with an inner wall, and an outer wall. A vented cooling space exists between the inner wall and the outer wall. An inner chamber of the external stack includes a fire box with a fire grate and a feed hopper positioned above the fire box. A smoke tunnel with a series of openings for releasing smoke into the smoking enclosure extends along the bottom of the food smoking enclosure and is connected to the external fire box at one end. Fuel, including charcoal, lump coal, or wood pellets, is loaded into the feed hopper. As the fuel burns on the fire grate and turns to ashes, the fuel is fed from the hopper onto the fire grate by gravity. A fan and dampers controls air flow through the fire grate and into the smoke tunnel.

Apparatus and method for optimized conduit line sanitation

Described herein relates to an apparatus and method for optimized dispensing of conduit cleaning agent(s). The apparatus may be configured to dispense cleaning agent(s) (e.g., vinegar and / or acetic acid) into a conduit line (e.g., a condensate drain) at predetermined timed intervals. The apparatus may be adapted for multi-unit dwellings where conduit pathways are shared between different units and air conditioning systems. The apparatus may include a plurality of timer-controlled valves (e.g., motorized valves), which may be synchronized to simultaneously release the cleaning agent(s). Additionally, the apparatus may comprise a reservoir that may gravity feed the cleaning agent(s) into these integrated timer / release valves. As such, activation by the timer may cause the release of the cleaning agent(s) into the conduit line via tubing. Accordingly, the system may be configured to prevent substance accumulation / occlusion in the conduit line of a HVAC, refrigeration, and / or septic systems, and / or minimize the need for regular maintenance.
