Patents by Inventor Jay Allen Hammond

Jay Allen Hammond 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).

  • Publication number: 20120151952
    Abstract: A modular water source geothermal heat pump unit is provided. The water source geothermal heat pump unit comprises separate fan, compressor and coil modules. In one embodiment, the compressor module may be located between the fan and coil modules. In another embodiment the water source geothermal heat pump unit may be a monolithic unit that includes a fan that directs air through a chute located adjacent a compressor. The chute may also be located between the fan and a coil.

  • Publication number: 20080156468
    Abstract: The present invention is a water source heat pump using various modular components to determine and locate the air flow pattern through and around in multiple patterns as assembled post production in the heat pump system. The current invention uses conventional water source heat pump components, assembled in modules including a refrigerant system using a heat exchange medium existing in both the gaseous and liquid form during operation and includes all other necessary components for control, air movement, and commonly occurring processes as in conventional water source heat pumps. The current invention will use an industry standard geothermal or geoexchange source as with the earth as a heat source for heating and a heat sink for cooling in a commonly referred to as an “open loop” or “closed loop” fashion, or as a water source heat pump utilizing a mechanical means for heating or cooling a source liquid.
