Abstract
Abstract A condenser for a compressed air braking system has a check valve (13) in its output connection and a dump valve (22) which is signalled by a fluid pressure signal or an electrical signal for dumpinng the fluid pressure contained in the condenser where the air pressure at the output connection attains a set valve.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A condenser for a compressed gas system including a housing (1) of a thermally conducting material with an input port (6) at an upper end -and a baffle (7) for directing the flow of incoming gas over the interior surface of the wall of the housing (1) to an interior region (29) which communicates with an output port (14), and with a drain valve (22) situated at the lower end of the housing for receiving condensed moisture characterised by the output port 14 of the condenser having a check valve 13 and by the drain valve (22) being part of a fluid pressure operable or electrically operable dump valve for dumping the pressure in said housing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A condenser for a compressed gas system including a housing (1) of a thermally conducting material with an input port (6) at an upper end -and a baffle (7) for directing the flow of incoming gas over the interior surface of the wall of the housing (1) to an interior region (29) which communicates with an output port (14), and with a drain valve (22) situated at the lower end of the housing for receiving condensed moisture characterised by the output port 14 of the condenser having a check valve 13 and by the drain valve (22) being part of a fluid pressure operable or electrically operable dump valve for dumping the pressure in said housing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A condenser as claimed in claim 1 for a compressed air system characterised by the dump valve being of sufficient capacity to act as an unloader valve for a compressor connected to the input port.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A condenser for a compressed gas system substantially as described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A condenser for a compressed gas system substantially as described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A compressed gas system characterised by a condenser (1) connected in a charging path (42, 14) between a compressor 4 and a reservoir and including a governor (48) conneeted to sense the changed pressure of the reservoir to operate the dump valve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A compressed gas system characterised by a condenser (1) connected in a charging path (42, 14) between a compressor 4 and a reservoir and including a governor (48) conneeted to sense the changed pressure of the reservoir to operate the dump valve.
