Patent number: 6543395Abstract: A bi-fuel control system and assembly for modifying and operating a diesel engine to the extent that the engine is capable of running in either a full diesel fuel mode or a bi-fuel mode, where bi-fuel is defined as a mixture of a methane based gas and diesel fuel. The control system and assembly are designed to provide for either manual or automatic transfer between modes for continuous engine operation without interruption in output and at substantially equivalent efficiency levels. A gas control sub-system and sub-assembly are provided to control the amount of gas supplied to the diesel engine in the bi-fuel mode, and an electronic control sub-system and sub-assembly are provided to control the overall system and assembly based on engine load as determined from the intake manifold air pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2001Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: Gas Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jason E.

Patent number: 6305302Abstract: An apparatus for providing waste tire gasification in a negative ambient pressure environment includes a gasification unit, a combustion unit, and a connection pipe. The gasification unit includes a gasification chamber, at least one air vent, at least one gasification igniter, and a fan. The combustion unit includes a combustion chamber, and an exhaust pipe. The connection pipe connects the output of the gasification unit with the combustion unit. In operation, tires are placed inside the gasification chamber. The tires are ignited using the gasification igniter. The rapid oxidation of the tires is fed with the air entering the at least one air vent. Combustion gases generated from the oxidizing tires are pulled out of the gasification chamber through a vacuum pipe with the fan. The gases are pushed through the connection pipe in to the combustion chamber. The combustion gases are ignited in the combustion chamber with at least one combustion igniter.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2001Date of Patent: October 23, 2001Assignee: Waste Tire Gas Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Richard L.

Patent number: 5386699Abstract: Method for liquifying natural gas comprising regulating the pressure of the natural gas from a pressure ranging from 0-25 psig. Contaminants are filtered out of the regulated natural gas. The natural gas is then compressed to a higher pressure. At least a one-stage heat exchange is performed with the compressed natural gas by utilizing a coolant to provide a cooled compressed natural gas. A Joule Thompson valve is used to liquify at least a portion of the cooled compressed natural gas. The liquified natural gas is stored in a dewar. Unliquified natural gas passing from the dewar is utilized to provide cooling of the natural gas during the heat exchange. The unliquified natural gas is then recompressed. The recompressed natural gas is subjected to the same steps to liquify an additional portion of the recompressed natural gas.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1994Date of Patent: February 7, 1995Assignee: American Gas & Technology, Inc.Inventors: Albert H. Myers, Raymond E. Tate, Jr., Harold M. Lee, Dragos Sfinteanu
