Patents by Inventor Phil Childers

Phil Childers 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: 10239018
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a reagent vaporization system. The reagent vaporization system includes a vaporization chamber located within a stream of hot exhaust gas. An aqueous reagent source located outside of the stream of hot exhaust gas provides aqueous reagent to the vaporization chamber. The heat from the hot exhaust gas vaporizes the aqueous reagent, which is then introduced into the stream of hot exhaust gas.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190017698
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a system and method for determining saturated steam quality. The system includes a liquid inlet in communication with a pre-boiler stream of liquid creating a liquid inlet flow. An inlet chamber is in communication with the liquid inlet flow and has a inlet temperature compensated conductivity probe that is submerged in the liquid inlet flow and configured to measure the conductivity of the inlet liquid. A liquid outlet is in communication with a post-boiler outlet flow creating an outlet liquid flow. An outlet chamber is in communication with the outlet liquid flow. The outlet chamber has an outlet temperature compensated conductivity probe that is submerged in the outlet liquid flow and configured to measure the conductivity of the outlet liquid. A processor is in communication with the inlet and outlet temperature compensated conductivity probes and configured to calculate steam quality.
