Patents by Inventor ROBERT KAMPFL

ROBERT KAMPFL 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: 12163908
    Abstract: A moisture measuring device for gases, in particular compressed gases, compressed air and the like, for moisture content detection in a gas supply system, includes a gas sampling input for the test gas which is connected to the gas supply system. A separate gas channel used only for the moisture measurement branches off from the gas sampling input. The separate gas channel is connected with a measuring cell in which a dew point sensor is arranged. A drying cell with a drying agent is connected downstream of the measuring cell. The drying cell is substantially hermetically sealed against the outside environment. Lastly, the output side of the drying cell is connected to an outlet channel leading to the outside environment. A gas supply system may have the form of a compressed gas system, a compressor station, a storage system and the like.

  • Publication number: 20230106998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter unit (10) for a compressor, comprising a housing (12) with an inlet (14) and an outlet (28) for gas to be compressed, a particle pre-filter (16) arranged downstream of the inlet (14) in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, an ultraviolet irradiation unit (22) which is configured to emit ultraviolet light and is arranged downstream of the particle pre-filter (16) in the flow direction of the gas to be compressed, and a ballast (40) which is configured and arranged to control the ultraviolet irradiation unit (22). The filter unit (10) is designed in such a way that the gas to be compressed which is fed in at the inlet (14) first passes through the particle pre-filter (16), is then irradiated by the ultraviolet irradiation unit (22) and can finally be fed to the compressor through the outlet (28). The invention also relates to a compressor comprising such a filter unit (10) and to a method for compressing breathing air using such a compressor.

  • Publication number: 20230077827
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an analysis apparatus for compressed gases in a compressed-gas tank, such as a breathing-air cylinder or the like, for determining gas components, in particular CO, CO2, O2, VOC, SO2, NO, NO2, helium and moisture, having a removal device which can be connected to the compressed-gas tank, characterised in that the removal device comprises a connection element which is under the pressure of the compressed gas to be analysed in the compressed-gas tank and can be coupled to a gas treatment device having a gas measuring and evaluating device for determining the desired gas components, the connection element is also pressurised when not connected to the compressed-gas tank, preferably by means of a shut-off valve, and the gas treatment device and the gas measuring and evaluating device are further also configured to monitor and analyse the compressed gases dispensed by a compressor to fill a compressed-gas tank.
