A wind turbine system includes a variable blade assembly including adjustable sails and wing shaped masts expanding the wind velocity capture envelope. The blade assembly turns a hydraulic pump, which pressurizes fluid and stores the pressurized fluid in a chamber in the support tower. Pressurized fluid is directed via an electronically controllable proportioning valve to a hydraulic motor which is coupled to an electric generator. A computer control module operates the proportioning valve regulating pressure to the hydraulic motor, maintaining generator rotational speed, and providing consistent output frequency to the power grid. Stored energy in the high pressure tank is used to continue generator operation after the winds cease, allowing early warning notification to the power management system of impending power loss. Residual pressure maintained in the high pressure tank allows restart operations via hydraulic pressure rather than power grid energy drain. On site high energy capacitors store additional energy.

A high-pressure connector for an electrical power cable segment having a central stranded conductor encased in a polymeric insulation jacket with an interstitial void volume in the region of the conductor. The connector confines a fluid within the interstitial void volume at a residual pressure above atmospheric, but below the elastic limit of the insulation jacket. A housing interior chamber receives the conductor in fluid communication with the interstitial void volume. Some embodiments have the chamber sized to receive and overlap a portion of the insulation jacket with a housing end portion swaged thereto. A seal seals the insulation jacket with respect to the housing and a retaining member secures the cable segment to the housing to prevent pushback of the insulation jacket at the residual pressure.

A valve timing control device includes a purge path communicating between a hydraulic chamber allowing the entry of hydraulic pressure on starting an engine and a backward pressurized section in an accommodation hole. When the hydraulic chamber allowing the entry of hydraulic pressure on starting the engine is the retardation side hydraulic chamber, a hydraulic pressure derived from an oil pump is supplied to the retardation side hydraulic chamber on starting the engine. On the way, air-mixed oil is discharged to outside of the device by way of a purge path, a backward pressurized section in the accommodation hole and the discharge hole. When the air is discharged, a residual pressure is produced in the backward pressurized section due to oil supplied thereto. The residual pressure results in the increase of an unlocking hydraulic pressure to prevent a locking member from being unlocked. When the application of a retardation side hydraulic pressure is switched to that of an advance side hydraulic pressure, the pressure presses a front end of a locking member against only a biasing force of a biasing means to unlock a locking relation. The valve timing control device allows the use of any kinds of locking pins, and prevents the occurrence of beat noise (abnormal noise) when air-mixed oil unlocks a locking relation on starting the engine.

A mixed refrigerant re-circulated liquefaction process for precooling coalbed methane (CBM) by residual pressure of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) belongs to the technical field of chemical industry and low temperature. The invention provides an integrated process of adsorption and liquefaction of CBM with high nitrogen content. The process comprises the following steps: before liquefaction, firstly desorbing most nitrogen in the CBM by the PSA process, adopting the residual pressure of adsorption in the above nitrogen to precool the CBM after expanding the residual pressure and liquefying the CBM by the mixed refrigerant re-circulated liquefaction process which is widely applied in the natural gas liquefaction industry. The precooling process of the nitrogen with residual pressure saves the mixed refrigerant flow used for providing cooling capacity, thus reducing the overall power consumption of the system. With the increase of the nitrogen content of the CBM and the residual pressure of adsorption in the nitrogen, the temperature of the precooled CBM gradually decreases, the number of cooling stages of mixed refrigerant cycle can be correspondingly lessened and more power consumption is saved.

A constant-residual-pressure valve is disposed in a communication passage connecting a high-pressure fuel passage through which pressurized fuel flows with a low-pressure fuel passage through which the fuel flows toward a high-pressure pump. The constant-residual-pressure valve includes a valve body, a spring, and a spring stopper. The valve body can sit on a valve seat formed in an inner passage. The spring biases the valve body toward the valve seat. The spring stopper has a downstream-orifice of which flow passage area is smaller than that of a passage upstream of the valve seat. Thereby, cavitation between the valve body and the valve seat is less generated.

A fuel pressure relief valve includes a body defining a passageway having an inlet end in communication with a fuel pump and an outlet end in communication with a fuel rail. The valve also includes a seal member moveable between a first position in which the seal member is seated against the outlet end, and a second position in which the seal member is unseated from the outlet end. The valve further includes a biasing member biasing the seal member toward the second position. The seal member moves from the second position to the first position immediately after fuel pump shutoff to maintain pressure in the fuel rail. The seal member moves from the first position to the second position when fuel in the fuel rail drops to a residual pressure substantially less than the operating pressure to provide a leak path between the fuel pump and the fuel rail.

The invention establishes a method for treating waste concentrated saltwater of reverse osmosis systems. The method mainly comprises the following steps that: the residual pressure of concentrated water produced by the self of a reverse osmosis system during water production is utilized to form high-salt spray so as to save power needed by conventional atomization; tiny water droplets quickly evaporate in floating air so as to separate water, salt and other impurities; meanwhile, organic matter contained by the water is oxidized to be carbon dioxide; vapor is input into a condensing chamber to turn into pure water, while salt and high-power tail water fall to the bottom of a separation chamber; the tail water and initial inflow water are mixed and circulated and then continue to be atomized and concentrated to a saturation state; the contained salt is subjected to heat-exchange condensation and then crystallization and precipitation; and water purification and salinity removal of reverse osmosis concentrated water are finally realized. The desalting and pollutant-reducing method for reverse osmosis concentrated water is suitable for the separation of the waste concentrated saltwater produced by every type of reverse osmosis systems.

A liquid feed valve unit is configured to switch between a releasing mode for forcibly opening a valve and a blocking mode for closing the valve, and the valve can therefore be opened and closed in a short time as needed. Since the releasing mode is implemented by pushing the peripheral part and the pressure-receiving part of the flexible member, the flexible member can be prevented from flexing toward the outside of the liquid accommodating chamber even in the case that the pressure-receiving part is pushed. In this case, since a residual pressure can be prevented from forming in the liquid accommodating chamber, there is no need to suspend operation, and it is possible to immediately proceed to the next operation. A fast-operating liquid feed valve unit can thereby be obtained.
