Patent number: 9890310Abstract: The invention relates generally to a mixing system for mixing a dry material with a liquid. The mixing system includes a supply of dry material and a supply of liquid. An infinitely variable metering device meters the dry material into the liquid. A sensor senses the ratio of dry material to liquid. The sensor is operatively connected to the metering device to control the metering device to obtain a desired ratio of dry material to liquid. The dry material is dispensed volumetrically by volume of liquid to form the desired ratio of dry material to liquid.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Douglas Dynamics, LLCInventors: Everett Hughes, Greg Neilson, Paul Yagiela

Patent number: 9890312Abstract: The present invention provides methods for selecting refrigerant and lubricant combinations for use in heat transfer cycle systems and provides methods for operating said heat transfer systems. More particularly, the invention provides methods to select lubricant and refrigerant combinations for a heat transfer cycle system wherein at the lower temperatures of the heat transfer cycle the refrigerant and lubricant are miscible and at the upper temperatures of the heat transfer cycle the refrigerant and lubricant are phase separated and such that the density phase inversion temperature of the combination is below the upper operating temperature of the heat transfer cycle.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Arkema Inc.Inventors: Brett L. Van Horn, Philippe Bonnet

Patent number: 9890313Abstract: The present invention relates to a Reinforced Form Stable Phase Change Material (RFSPCM) and product thereof. Reinforcement with chemically treated fibers, of polymer in Phase Change Material (PCM) matrix gives a uniform blend of a stable form. This Reinforced Form Stable Phase Change Material (RFSPCM) according to present invention is nontoxic in nature, flexible, has high latent heat and high tensile or tearing strength both above and below the melting point of Phase Change Material (PCM). Further, the composition is so stable that it can easily be heated and cooled without leaking out its Phase Change Material (PCM). The present invention provides a simple Phase Change Material (PCM) product for user for providing stored heat that has improved safety and handling ability.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Inventor: Samit Jain
