Abstract

Disclosed is a system, method and apparatus operating on a high-pressure working fluid with high efficiency. The device has a reservoir of high-pressure working fluid. A fluid connection supplies the high-pressure working fluid at a controlled working pressure to a dose chamber to contain a volume of the high-pressure working fluid. A dose valve, biased to close, and able to be triggered open, is present between the dose chamber and a working chamber. A charge of the high pressure working fluid can be released from the dose chamber via the dose valve at a first end of the working chamber, to undergo a first expansion in the working chamber and do work therein to or towards a second end of the working chamber distal from the first end. The dose valve closes again before a pressure front of the charge in the working chamber has travelled less than or equal to halfway between the first end and the second end. This allows a second expansion of the charge to continue doing work. When the work is complete, the working chamber pressure is less than or equal to half the working pressure.

Abstract

Disclosed is a pressure relief valve with inlet and outlet ports, to hold pressure from outlet until a set pressure is achieved at the inlet. The valve has a valve member located between the inlet and outlet ports, movable between an open position to allow a fluid flow between the ports, and closed position to prevent fluid flow. Inlet pressure acts on the valve member to increase its closing force. Provided is a movable sensing spindle in fluid communication with the inlet pressure and a reference pressure, the sensing spindle having a first position, and a second position. Increased pressure difference between the inlet pressure and reference toward the set pressure moves the sensing spindle to eventually acts on the valve member to move it away from it's sealing position and thus provide an opening for fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet.

Abstract

Disclosed is a device and method to operate on and control a high pressure fluid. The device has a dump chamber to receive high pressure fluid from a high pressure fluid source, and a dose chamber, to receive a flow of the high pressure fluid from the dump chamber via a flow path from the dump chamber to the dose chamber, having an outlet. Present also is a working chamber having an inlet end at an end thereof, and a dose valve member with an annular sealing surface surrounding the inlet end. When the dose valve member in a closed condition the sealing surface meets with an annular seat to seal the outlet; and with the dose valve member in an open condition a gap is presented between the annular sealing surface and the seat to allow high pressure fluid to move from the outlet to the inlet. The high pressure fluid in the dump chamber, at least in part, holds the dose valve member in the closed condition, until the high pressure fluid pressure in the dump chamber is reduced, whereby the high pressure fluid in the dose chamber unseats the dose valve member to the open position.

Disclosed is a device and method to operate on and control a high pressure fluid. The device has a dump chamber to receive high pressure fluid from a high pressure fluid source, and a dose chamber, to receive a flow of the high pressure fluid from the dump chamber via a flow path from the dump chamber to the dose chamber, having an outlet. Present also is a working chamber having an inlet end at an end thereof, and a dose valve member with an annular sealing surface surrounding the inlet end. When the dose valve member in a closed condition the sealing surface meets with an annular seat to seal the outlet; and with the dose valve member in an open condition a gap is presented between the annular sealing surface and the seat to allow high pressure fluid to move from the outlet to the inlet. The high pressure fluid in the dump chamber, at least in part, holds the dose valve member in the closed condition, until the high pressure fluid pressure in the dump chamber is reduced, whereby the high pressure fluid in the dose chamber unseats the dose valve member to the open position.

Abstract

Disclosed is a self-resetting pest control apparatus to incapacitate a target pest species and reset itself after such incapacitation. The trap has a kill engine to at least in part deliver incapacitating energy to the target species, whereby the kill engine does not require electricity, the kill engine using an inflammable gas charge, the kill engine when triggered, will actuate and then reset itself. Present also is a source of compressed inflammable gas, connected to and supplying the kill engine. A force delivery hammer, driven by the kill engine, that when actuated linearly delivers the incapacitating energy to the target pest species by impacting thereon. There is also a trap enclosure from which the kill engine is at least in part mounted, the trap enclosure having an entry point for the target pest species into an interior of the trap enclosure, a bait station, and trigger mechanism to trigger the kill engine. A species adapter connects at least in part to the trap enclosure to adapt the trap enclosure to the target pest species, the species adapter based on the size, habits or travel nature of the target pest species. Such that when a target pest species enters the apparatus it triggers the trigger mechanism, causing the kill engine to actuate and deliver incapacitating energy to the target pest species.

Disclosed is a method of incapacitating a target pest species. The method having the steps of providing a trap enclosure, the trap enclosure having an entry point for the target pest species into an interior of the trap enclosure, and a bait station to attract the target pest species. Provided also is a kill engine, at least in part mounted from the trap enclosure, to at least in part deliver incapacitating energy to the target species, whereby the kill engine does not require electricity, the kill engine using an inflammable gas charge, the kill engine when triggered actuates and then resets itself. A source of compressed inflammable gas is connected to and supplies the kill engine. Present is a species adapter connected at least in part to the trap enclosure to adapt the trap enclosure to the target pest species, the species adapter based on the size, habits or travel, nature of the target pest species. A kill zone is defined within an interior of the trap enclosure and or the species adapter. A trigger mechanism actuates the kill engine when triggered by the target pest species when in the kill zone. A force delivery hammer, driven by the kill engine, delivers the incapacitating energy, such that when the target pest species enters the apparatus and the kill zone it triggers the trigger mechanism to in turn actuate the kill engine to deliver the incapacitating energy by impacting the pest.
