Publication number: 20240359996Abstract: Methods and systems for producing ammonia, urea, and UAN are described herein. The methods can include providing a hydrocarbon feed stock and an oxygen-containing stream and reacting the hydrocarbon feed stock with the oxygen-containing stream to provide a syngas containing carbon dioxide and blue hydrogen. The methods can also include electrolyzing water to provide green hydrogen and blending the blue hydrogen with the green hydrogen to provide a blended hydrogen. The blended hydrogen can be introduced to an ammonia synthesis system to provide an ammonia product, which can be further processed to provide urea and/or UAN. The ratio of green to blue hydrogen in the blended hydrogen can be based on available green credits.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventor: John Walton Douglas

Patent number: 11621611Abstract: An electric machine having a housing with the rotor and stator disposed within the housing. The housing defines at least one housing opening allowing the inflow of air into the housing. A baffle is mounted on the housing and controls the inflow of air into the housing opening. The baffle member defines an inlet in communication with the ambient air, an outlet in communication with the housing opening, and a passageway extending from the inlet to the outlet. The baffle defines at least one impact surface within the passageway for changing the direction of air flow between the inlet and the outlet and the baffle further defines a drain port wherein the passageway directs moisture collecting on the impact surface to the drain port where it is discharged from the baffle. The electric motor may be an axial flow air-cooled alternator having a fan for generating the air flow.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventor: John Walton
