Bernhardt R. Bruns 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).

  • Method of increasing volumetric throughput of an internal combustion engines used in vapor destruction applications
    Patent number: 9856770
    Abstract: A method and device for controlling emissions of VOC's comprises transporting VOC's to an engine and transporting the exhaust from the engine into a manifold. Supplemental air is transporting into the manifold and heat is transferred from the exhaust to the supplemental air within the manifold. The supplemental air is mixed with the exhaust and the mixture is transferred to a pollution abatement device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2018
    Assignee: BRB/Sherline, Inc.
    Inventor: Bernhardt R. Bruns
