Patent number: 11061392Abstract: The smart HVAC manifold system for servicing air conditioning systems is designed to dynamically manage the data acquisition process and to measure and calculate the performance indicators and output as the load conditions and or equipment operation change taking into account variables in the installation that can impact performance. Both visually and by a very specific data set the performance of the equipment and the installation can quickly be assessed and specific problems identified along with suggestions of typical faults or problems that may need addressed by the technician. The smart HVAC manifold system provides a means of quickly and electronically handling the manual data acquisition process which would include component and or system model and serial numbers, equipment location (GPS tagging), customer name, environmental conditions that effect performance and performance measurement (weather data and elevation), and supports photo, voice and text documentation.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: nClarity, LLCInventors: Edward Yenni, Timothy Vielhaber, David Rodgers, John Podhradsky, James L. Bergmann, William P. Spohn, William Northrup, Robert James Bonitati

Publication number: 20150292985Abstract: A smart manifold system for monitoring the operation of an HVAC unit includes a smart manifold adapted to obtain measurement data related to the operating conditions of the HVAC unit, and a smart platform adapted to communicate wirelessly with the smart manifold and acquire the measurement data from the smart manifold. The smart platform is also adapted to ensure that measurement data is free from any user manipulation or modification, and to tag any measurement data so ensured as verified data. The smart platform is further adapted to transmit the verified data to a remote platform for at least one of storage, report generation, and the performance of analytics.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2015Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Edward Yenni, Timothy Vielhaber, David Rodgers, John Podhradsky, James L.

Patent number: 6836028Abstract: A segmented arc generator is adapted to convert mechanical power such as wind or water power into electrical power at a wide range of wind or shaft speeds. A rotor has a plurality of salient poles disposed about a periphery of a rotor ring. A stator has a stator ring disposed radially about and in close proximity to the rotor ring. The stator ring includes a plurality of stator coils wound on a ferromagnetic structure and having permanent magnets imbedded within the structure. Relative motion between a rotor pole and a corresponding stator coil induces a coil voltage across that coil. A phase controlled converter in electrical communication with the stator coils rectifies the output voltage. A pulse width modulated inverter is in electrical communication with the phase controlled converter for converting the D.C. voltage output by the phase controlled converter to an A.C. voltage of controlled amplitude and phase relationship determined with respect to a voltage waveform present on a connected utility grid.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Frontier Engineer ProductsInventors: G.
