Patents by Inventor MITCHELL WESTWOOD

MITCHELL WESTWOOD 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: 10962012
    Abstract: A positive displacement rotary compressor is designed for near isothermal compression, high pressure ratios, high revolutions per minute, high efficiency, mixed gas/liquid compression, a low temperature increase, a low outlet temperature, and/or a high outlet pressure. Liquid injectors provide cooling liquid that cools the working fluid and improves the efficiency of the compressor. A gate moves within the compression chamber to either make contact with or be proximate to the rotor as it turns.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 30, 2021
    Assignee: HICOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
    Inventors: Pedro Santos, Jeremy Pitts, Andrew Nelson, Johannes Santen, John Walton, Mitchell Westwood, Harrison O'Hanley

  • Patent number: 8794941
    Abstract: A positive displacement compressor designed for near isothermal compression. A rotor includes a curved sealing portion that coincides with a in an interior rotor casing wall. Liquid injectors provide cooling liquid. A gate moves within the compression chamber to either make contact with or be proximate to the rotor as it turns. Gate positioning systems position the gate in this manner, taking into account the shape of the rotor. Outlet valves allow for expulsion of liquids and compressed gas. The unique geometry and relationship between the parts provides for efficiencies and higher pressures not previously found in existing compressor designs.
