Patent number: 8684219Abstract: A tank for holding liquid having internal partitions. The partitions have enlarged bottom ends fillable with liquid and restable on the bottom wall of the tank to limit sideways movement of the partitions. The partitions are mounted to the tank only above the liquid within the tank by a channel that loosely receives the top ends of the partition.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2013Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Advantage Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Ronald A. Wolfe, Andrew J. Sander

Publication number: 20120193303Abstract: A system is described herein which provides an ozonated liquid. The system comprises a liquid inlet arranged to continuously accept a liquid into the system at a desired flow rate; a liquid outlet to dispense ozonated liquid out of the system, the ozonated liquid having an oxidation-reduction potential of at least 450 mV due solely to ozone dissolved in the liquid, the liquid outlet being in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and arranged to dispense the ozonated liquid out of the system at the desired flow rate. The system has a tank-less ozonation flow path between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, the flow path adapted to ozonate the accepted liquid, producing the ozonated liquid to be dispensed out of the system. The accepted liquid has a fluid residence time in the ozonation flow path of less than 5 minutes prior to being dispensed as the ozonated liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2009Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING INC.Inventors: Steve L. Hengsperger, Justin L. Namespetra

Patent number: 5960857Abstract: A machine for circulating cooling water through manufacturing process equipment includes a combination pump and heat exchanger assembly. The machine has a cast metal pump case with two upwardly opening sockets receiving the lower ends of two tanks, one of them "the suction tank" communicating through the case with the pump impeller intake, and the other "the discharge tank" communicating with the impeller discharge. The tanks are constructed to function as heat exchangers, and they are readily and removably secured to the pump case by threaded fasteners and are sealed therein by compression seals. The discharge tank has electrical heating elements. The suction tank has a motor-operated modulator valve precisely fixed thereon, so as to enable discharging excessively warm water from the process to drain while cool make-up water from city water supply is admitted through the suction tank to the pump.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1996Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: Advantage Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Philip D. Oswalt, Steven E. Wash, Ronald A. Wolfe

Patent number: 5761916Abstract: A portable, wheel-mounted, mechanically-refrigerated chiller for water used to cool a heat generating manufacturing process machine, has a process cooling water flow sensor assembly with conventional connections into the process water circulation portion of the chiller. The assembly includes a magnetically impregnated plastic vane operated by water flow through it, and a Hall-effect motion sensor responsive to vane operation to provide a signal to a computer. Water temperature to the process and from the process is monitored by sensors producing signals to the computer. The computer combines this information to produce a front panel digital read-out of the percent of capacity at which the chiller is operating or, upon selection, the refrigeration tonnage applied by the chiller to the process water.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Advantage Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Philip D. Oswalt, Steven E. Wash, Ronald A. Wolfe

Patent number: 5113931Abstract: A combination pump and heat exchanger assembly in a manufacturing process temperature controller uses a cast metal pump case with two upwardly opening sockets receiving the lower ends of two tubes, one of them communicating through the case with the pump impeller intake and the other with the impeller discharge. Closed circuit and open circuit versions are shown. In both types, the tubes are constructed to function as tanks, at least one being a heat exchanger unit, and they are readily and removably secured to the case by threaded fasteners and are sealed therein by compression seals. The heat exchanger tubes employ electrical heating elements or chilled liquid piping units therein. A controller including a microcomputer responds to temperature of liquid pumped from the assembly through a process to be temperature controlled, and returned to the assembly, to control an electric heater and/or a motor-operated modulator valve discharging to drain while cool make-up water is admitted.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1991Date of Patent: May 19, 1992Assignee: Advantage Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Philip D.
