Patent ID: 8186818

Claim:
A fluid transport apparatus comprising: a fluid transport conduit for transporting fluid, the fluid transport conduit having an inlet end that is coupled to a fluid supply and an outlet end that is coupled to a receiving port; a compressor conduit positioned proximate the fluid transport conduit; a thermal conductor configured to achieve a non-ambient temperature for the fluid within the fluid transport conduit as the compressor conduit is operated to move the fluid through the fluid transport conduit; a fluid pump that is fluidly coupled to an inlet of the compressor conduit to inject fluid into the compressor conduit to a pressure that deforms the fluid transport conduit; and a venting valve fluidly coupled to the compressor conduit, the venting valve being configured to relieve selectively the pressure in the compressor conduit that deforms the fluid transport conduit, the fluid pump and venting valve being configured for alternating operation to pressurize the compressor conduit and deform the fluid transport conduit and to relieve the pressure in the compressor conduit in order to pull fluid from the fluid source into the fluid transport conduit and move the fluid through the fluid transport conduit to the receiving port.
