Patents by Inventor Ulf Kretschmer

Ulf Kretschmer 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: 9863816
    Abstract: A measurement circuit according to the invention for temperature monitoring has a quantitative temperature sensor and at least one qualitative temperature sensor, the quantitative temperature sensor and the at least one qualitative temperature sensor being connected in series, the quantitative temperature sensor having a consistent characteristic line which increases in a strictly monotonous manner or a consistent characteristic line which decreases in a strictly monotonous manner and being dedicated to the precise temperature measurement, and the qualitative temperature sensor having a nominal response temperature at which the resistance value changes in a non-linear manner and being dedicated to the monitoring of limit temperatures.

  • Patent number: 9746227
    Abstract: Process for regulating a compressor with motor for a refrigerating system, where the temperature of the cooling site is regulated through an on-off motor mode if the temperature in the compressor exceeds an upper temperature threshold. In addition, the temperature of the cooling site is regulated through a continuous on mode of the motor as soon as the motor has cooled to a lower temperature threshold. The controller converts a variable corresponding to the cooling requirement of the cooling site into a switch signal for a valve, which results in clocked opening and closing of the valve, or uses a frequency converter, which controls the cooling liquid flow through the compressor by regulating the voltage and the frequency of the motor in that the frequency converter converts a variable corresponding to the cooling requirement of a cooling site into a voltage and a frequency for the motor.
