Safety System For Fluid Conduit
US Patent:
2009024, Oct 1, 2009
Filed:
Mar 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/079865
Inventors:
Robert D. Cardona - Cinnaminson NJ, US
International Classification:
F16K 31/12
US Classification:
137486
Abstract:
A safety system for a fluid conduit includes an elongated flexible conduit having a first end and a second end and a central opening running therethrough and capable of transporting a first fluid under pressure. A first valve is located near the first end of the conduit and a second valve is located near the second end of the conduit. Each of the valves is moveable between a closed position and an open position so as to control the flow of the first fluid through the conduit. The central opening of the conduit is surrounded by a conduit wall which extends substantially the entire length of the conduit. A plurality of enclosed channels are located within the conduit wall and extend at least a substantial length of the conduit. A second fluid under pressure is contained in the channels and a sensor is provided for monitoring the pressure of the second fluid within the channels. One or both of the valves are operatively associated with the second fluid and close when the monitored pressure falls below a predetermined level.
High-Pressure Fluid Conduit
US Patent:
8336570, Dec 25, 2012
Filed:
Mar 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/047842
Inventors:
Robert Cardona - Cinnaminson NJ, US
Assignee:
Zena Associates, LLC - Folcroft PA
International Classification:
F16K 17/36
US Classification:
137 6814, 13761404, 137312, 138104, 138109, 138110
Abstract:
A high-pressure fluid conduit that conducts high-pressure fluid from a high-pressure fluid source to a high-pressure fluid container. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature is activated by the fracture of an annular ring that is positioned at either end of the high-pressure fluid conduit and is calibrated to fracture when exposed to the predetermined force. Fracture of the annular ring closes valves at each end of the high-pressure fluid conduit, thereby stopping the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source as well as the escape of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid container.
