Patents by Inventor Garrett J Shivo

Garrett J Shivo 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 and apparatus for enhancing heat pump and refrigeration equipment
    Patent number: 7340919
    Abstract: A vapor compression apparatus and a method for operating a vapor compression system are provided. A working fluid is conveyed through a vapor compression system having a fluid line. A charging element is connected to the fluid line to direct an electric charge into working fluid. The electric charge is operable to disrupt intermolecular forces and weaken intermolecular attraction to enhance expansion of the working fluid to the vapor phase, increasing the capacity, performance and efficiency of the system components, and reducing system cycling mechanical wear and energy consumption.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 11, 2008
    Assignee: Magnetizer Industrial Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Samuel Sami, Peter A Kulish, Ronald J Kita, Garrett J Shivo
  • Method and apparatus for using magnetic fields for enhancing heat pump and refrigeration equipment performance
    Patent number: 6662569
    Abstract: A vapor compression apparatus and a method for operating a vapor compression system are provided. A working fluid is conveyed through a vapor compression system having a fluid line. A magnetic field generator is connected to the fluid line to direct a magnetic field through the working fluid. The magnetic field is operable to disrupt intermolecular forces and weaken intermolecular attraction to enhance expansion of the working fluid to the vapor phase, increasing the capacity, performance and efficiency of the system components, and reducing system cycling, mechanical wear and energy consumption.
