Idle down control for a pressure washer

Номер: US20120020809A1
Автор: Richard J. Gilpatrick
Принадлежит: Individual

A method of controlling the speed of an engine includes positioning a throttle at an operating position between an idle position that reduces the engine speed to an idle speed, and a normal speed position at which the engine runs at a speed greater than the idle speed, collecting a fluid within a manifold, sensing a pressure within the manifold, and adjusting the operating position of the throttle in response to the sensed pressure. When the sensed pressure is low, the throttle is moved toward the idle position and when the pressure is high, the throttle is moved toward the normal speed position. The method further includes positioning an unloader downstream of the manifold, the manifold configured in one of a first position in which the unloader directs fluid from the manifold to the pump, and a second position in which the unloader directs fluid to a point of use.

Pressure spray washer and control

Номер: US20130092745A1
Автор: Brian G. Karp
Принадлежит: Champion Power Equipment Inc

A method and apparatus is provided for starting and stopping a high pressure spray washer having a combustion engine driving a pump to provide high pressure fluid to a spray gun activated by a trigger. Pulling the trigger causes water to flow through the nozzle and pump and a sensor by the pump sends a flow start signal to a control module that activates an electric starter when an engine switch is turned on, thus starting the engine when it wasn't running. When the trigger is released flow to the pump stops and the sensor sends a flow stop signal to the control module. If a predetermined time passes before the sensor detects fluid flow to the pump as occurs when the trigger is pulled, then the engine is shut off. The time can be varied to adjust the time between releasing the trigger and shutting off the engine.

A wetting tool that provides improved wettability and debris removal from features defined by a patterned resist layer on a substrate. The substrate wetting tool relies on a wetting solution having a pH of 2.0 or less and/or a temperature ranging from 20 to 50° C. With a pH of 2.0 or less, the resist material used to form features chemically reacts, making it more hydrophilic. The wetting solution is therefore attracted into the features, beneficially reducing the chance of bubble formation and removing debris. At elevated temperatures, the heated wetting solution improves particle de-lamination and aids in dissolving debris and oxides from the substrate surface. 1. A substrate wetting tool , comprisinga chamber;a substrate pedestal for supporting a substrate within the chamber;a wetting solution distribution system for introducing a wetting solution into the chamber, the wetting solution having a pH of 2.0 or less and a temperature ranging from 20 to 50° C.2.
