Patents by Inventor ANDRE STEINHOEFLER

ANDRE STEINHOEFLER 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: 20220065677
    Abstract: A measuring system for measuring a mass flow rate, a density, a temperature or a flow velocity. The measuring system includes a main line, a first Coriolis measuring device arranged in the main line, a second Coriolis measuring device arranged in series with the first Coriolis measuring device in the main line, a bypass line which bypasses the second Coriolis measuring device, a first valve arranged in the bypass line, and a computing unit which is connected to the first Coriolis measuring device and to the second Coriolis measuring device. The first valve opens depending on a pressure. The first Coriolis measuring device is designed for a higher maximum flow rate than the second Coriolis measuring device.

  • Publication number: 20210063221
    Abstract: A conditioning device for regulating a gaseous or a liquid fluid to a constant target temperature includes an inlet fluidically connected to a supply system, an outlet fluidically connected to a consumer, a first fluid line arranged between the inlet and outlet, a heater arranged in the first fluid line, a second fluid line arranged to branch off from the first fluid line upstream of the heater and to open out into the first fluid line downstream of the heater, a regulating valve which regulates a fluid flow arranged either in the first fluid line or in the second fluid line, a temperature sensor arranged in the first fluid line downstream of where the second fluid line opens out into the first fluid line, and a check valve arranged either in the first fluid line or in the second fluid line in which the regulating valve is not arranged.

  • Publication number: 20200217284
    Abstract: A pressure-regulating device for a fuel consumption measurement system includes a fuel supply line which supplies fuel to a consumer, a fuel return line, a bypass line which branches off from the fuel supply line, a pressure regulator which sets a free flow cross-section in the bypass line, a pressure sensor arranged at the fuel supply line downstream of where the bypass line branches off, a control unit electrically connected to the pressure sensor, and a pressure-reducing element arranged in the fuel supply line upstream of the pressure sensor and downstream of the branch of the bypass line. The bypass line fluidically connects the fuel supply line to the fuel return line and feeds fuel from the fuel supply line to the fuel return line while bypassing the consumer. The pressure sensor provides pressure measurement values. The control unit regulates the pressure regulator depending on the pressure measurement values.
