  • Patent number: 12098667
    Abstract: Heat from a rotating prime mover(s) driving a fluid shear pump, heat from the prime mover and any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover is collected. The heat energy collected from all of these sources is transmitted through heat exchangers to a fluid where heat energy is desired. This fluid heating process is performed in the absence of an open flame.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2022
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2024
    Assignee: ConleyMax Inc.
    Inventors: Patrick G. Bell, William N. Beckie
  • Patent number: 11874069
    Abstract: A fluid heating process which does not utilize an open flame, heat is created by a rotating prime mover(s) driving a hydraulic heat generator. Heat is also collected from the prime mover cooling system, and any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover. The heat energy is collected from all these sources, and transmitted through heat exchangers to generate a hot fluid, which can be used to heat other fluids and used for any application where heat is required.

  • Publication number: 20220145827
    Abstract: A dual heating process is performed in the absence of an open flame. Heat is created by a rotating prime mover(s) driving a fluid shear heater. Heat is also collected from a cooling system of the prime mover, and from any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover. The heat energy collected from all of these sources is transmitted through heat exchangers to a fluid where heat energy is desired. The fluid being heated may be glycol or air, depending on the type of heat desired.

  • Patent number: 10746465
    Abstract: A grain dying system for a grain bin that includes a heating unit arranged in a proximity of the grain bin and ducting connected at one end to the heating unit and another end to a grain drying adaptor. The grain drying adaptor is connected at one end to the ducting and at another end to a fain unit of an aeration system for the grain bin. The fan unit is attached to the grain drying adaptor. The grain drying adaptor is configured to introduce a blend of heated air from the heating unit and ambient air from outside the grain drying adaptor into the aeration system of the grain bin.
