Abstract:

Wick material is included along the length of the interior and exterior walls of vapor recovery and product hoses, respectively, the product hose being carried within the length of the vapor recovery hose, whereby the wick material absorbs liquid entrapped between the hoses, and substantially increases the surface area of evaporation for the liquid, thereby substantially preventing liquid from blocking a portion of the vapor recovery path between the hoses.

US Classification:

222 22

Abstract:

A liquid dispensing system for dispensing fuel such as gasoline, for example, includes a nozzle to which is mounted an actuator controlled transducer. The extent of movement of the actuator from a rest position causes the transducer to produce a flow rate signal having a magnitude proportional to the degree of movement of the actuator. The flow rate signals are electrically connected to a remotely located controller which responds to the signals by providing driving signals for operating a proportional flow control valve opening for attaining the called for flow rate of fluid to be dispensed from the remotely located valve, through a hose, to the nozzle for dispensement therefrom.
