Patents by Inventor Carl Brian Kimbrough

Carl Brian Kimbrough 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: 20040250841
    Abstract: Currently, there are no products available which allow a user to treat microbial and bacterial growth inside a HVAC condensate drain pan without first, gaining access to the drain pan by removal of the front cover of the HVAC unit. Our HVAC Enviro-Clean Condensate Drain Pan and Coil Cleaning System will accommodate the introduction of non-corrosive algaecides and/or biocides and cleaner fluids via an internal reservoir and plastic hosing system that can be easily used and maintained by the consumer. A reduction of microbial and bacterial growth will have a positive impact of Indoor Air Quality.

  • Patent number: 6584995
    Abstract: Currently, there are no products available which allow a user to treat microbial and bacterial growth inside a HVAC condensate drain line or clear a clogged line without cutting into the drain line. Our valve is an in-line condensate drain line valve that can be installed easily, quickly and economically, either during new construction or onto existing HVAC systems. The HVAC user can add household bleach to the condensate line, which inhibits microbial and bacterial growth without cutting into or disassembling the drain line. The design of our valve allows the user to perform safe routine maintenance to the HVAC drainage system without having to resort to expensive and repetitive service call repairs over the lifetime of the HVAC system. The valve is further designed to prevent undesirable reverse airflows into the HVAC system and home or building, caused by a dry water trap in the condensate drain.
