Patent number: 11649909Abstract: The present invention is a differential pressure loss valve comprising a valve housing that incorporates: a sleeve that incorporates a continuous cylindrical helical thread formed in the inner surface thereof; and a cylindrical channel carrier incorporating a cylindrical helical thread formed in the outer surface thereof. When the channel carrier is positioned within the sleeve a portion of the sleeve cylindrical helical thread integrates with the channel carrier cylindrical helical thread, and a composite channel is formed there-between. The geometric configuration of the composite channel is consistent throughout such composite channel, although the geometric configuration may differ in individual embodiments of the present invention. Fluid can flow within the valve between an inlet port incorporated in the sleeve and an outlet port incorporated in the valve housing and through the composite channel, or any portion thereof between the inlet port and outlet port, if any.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Inventor: John Faiczak

Patent number: 11340637Abstract: The present invention is a fluid distribution system comprising connected conduits (e.g., lines) wherein fluid flows, such as pipes within a building. The lines may be configured to: (i) include multiple lines that connect at intersections (some of the intersections will be identified as nodes); and (ii) incorporate node units associated with line pressure loss simulation assemblies (“LLSAs”). Activities of a node unit incorporating a LLSA can result in alterations in fluid pressure, such as by a loop control process to reposition balancing valves or other valves of one or more LLSAs, and/or by alteration of the speed of the system pump. These activities adjust fluid pressure to cause the system to produce a balanced and high efficiency energy transfer (e.g., heating or cooling), and do not involve or require any identification or use of any specific, fixed or absolute pressure value.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Inventor: John Faiczak

The lines may be configured to: (i) include multiple lines that connect at intersections (some of the intersections will be identified as nodes); and (ii) incorporate node units associated with pressure assemblies (“PSAs”). Activities of a node unit incorporating a PSA can result in alterations in fluid flow, such as by a loop control process or other processes to operate one or more pumps. Each PSA has a pump incorporated therein. These alterations adjust fluid flow to cause the system to produce a balanced and high efficiency energy transfer (e.g., heating or cooling), and do not require any: addition of any line (conduit) pressure losses, measuring of differential pressure, or identification or use of any specific, fixed or absolute pressure value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2020Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventor: John Faiczak

Patent number: 4061185Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for controlling the temperature in a building having a heat transfer load, a temperature control circuit containing a temperature control fluid for transferring heat energy to or from the building load, and a heat energy storage reservoir for storing heat energy. Energy is transferred between the storage reservoir and the fluid in the control circuit at optimum times to reduce the external energy required to control the temperature of the building. The amount of heat energy required to be transferred to or from the building load during a predetermined interval is predicted from load profiles. The amount of energy in the reservoir is measured to determine the amount of existing available energy to be transferred between the building load and the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1976Date of Patent: December 6, 1977Assignee: Canada Square Management Ltd.Inventor: John Faiczak
