Filip Van Kenhove has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Field test apparatus and method for analysis of coolants and heat-exchange fluids
    Patent number: 6495372
    Abstract: A test method and apparatus for determining the content of carboxylic acid-based corrosion inhibitors in a coolant or heat exchange fluid. The amount of acidic reagent added to the coolant or fluid between two pH equilibrium points is measured to determine the amount of inhibitors. The refractive index can be measured to determine the amount of freezing point depressant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 1999
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2002
    Assignee: Texaco Inc.
    Inventors: Jean-Pierre Maes, Peter Roose, Filip Van Kenhove
