Joerg Fandrich 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).

  • Patent number: 10315234
    Abstract: A method for conditioning the circulatory system (1) of a power plant is especially suited for a nuclear power plant. An amine, which is a film-forming agent, is metered into the working medium circulating in the circulatory system. The film-forming agent forms a hydrophobic film on the surfaces of the circulatory system. During the process, the concentration of the film-forming agent is monitored in at least one measuring point by way of measurement, and metering of the film-forming agent is stopped once its concentration in the working medium has reached a value of 1 ppm to 2 ppm in at least one measuring point M1.

  • Patent number: 9943890
    Abstract: A method for cleaning and conditioning the water-steam circuit of a power plant, especially of a nuclear power plant, uses an amine as a film-forming agent. The amine is metered into the working medium circulating in the water-steam circuit. The film-forming agent forms a hydrophobic film on the surfaces of the circuit. During the process, the concentration of at least one impurity contained in the water and the concentration of the film-forming agent in at least in the feed water of the steam generator are measured and monitored. The concentration of the film-forming agent is varied, as needed, subject to the concentration of the impurity.

  • Patent number: 5625574
    Abstract: The method and the data processing system of the invention monitor the operating states of a technical plant. The operating states of the technical plant are characterized with measured values measured or modeled at a lowest level of the system. The plant is monitored with the measured values and with technological knowledge relevant to the operation of the technical plant stored in a memory of the data processing system. First, the measured values are processed and converted into plant symptoms specific of the associated operating states. Next, a diagnosis of the operational state of the plant is established from the plant symptoms and a significance value is assigned to the diagnosis, or a significance value is first assigned to the plant symptom and the diagnosis is prepared therefrom. The assignment of the significance is based on the technological knowledge. The diagnostic information is thus rated before it is appropriately forwarded to the user surface.
