Electronic Pressure Independent Controller For Fluid Flow Control Valve
US Patent:
2013006, Mar 21, 2013
Filed:
Sep 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/238155
Inventors:
Fred Albert George - Easton CT, US
Brian J. O'Rourke - Watertown CT, US
Lee D. Scott - New Fairfield CT, US

Assignee:
Accutrol, LLC - Monroe CT
International Classification:
F16K 31/02
US Classification:
137 14, 1374875
Abstract:
A flow valve with an integral pressure-independent fluid flow controller for controlling the flow of fluid and corresponding methods for controlling fluid flow are provided. The flow valve comprises a valve body, one or more valve blades arranged on the valve body for controlling fluid flow in a duct section, an actuator for modulating the one or more valve blades, a flow sensor or sensors for sensing fluid flow, a tuning calculation module adapted for determining or monitoring a pressure drop across the valve body and for calculating tuning constants based on the pressure drop, and a controller for controlling the actuator based on a difference between a fluid flow setpoint and the sensed fluid flow in accordance with the tuning constants. The pressure drop may be determined from an algorithm based on blade position and sensed fluid flow, or may be directly measured.
Multi-Valve Damper For Controlling Airflow And Method For Controlling Airflow
US Patent:
7543759, Jun 9, 2009
Filed:
Oct 5, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/244532
Inventors:
Fred George - Easton CT, US
International Classification:
F24F 7/00, F25D 17/04
US Classification:
236 493, 62186, 454333, 454334, 137 1525, 13760117
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-valve damper which divides a section of an airflow duct into at least two airflow sections. The damper has a plug body having a proximal end and a distal end. The plug body is adapted to separate a section of an airflow duct into at least two airflow sections. At least two damper blades may be mounted on the distal end of the plug body, each of the damper blades controlling airflow in a respective airflow section. At least one airflow sensor may be provided in each of the airflow sections for controlling the respective damper blades. An actuator mechanism responsive to the sensors may be provided for opening and closing the damper blades. At least one of the proximal end and the distal end of the plug body may have an aerodynamic shape.

Method And Apparatus For Fluid Flow Control
US Patent:
2004014, Jul 29, 2004
Filed:
Jan 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/349556
Inventors:
Fred George - Easton CT, US
International Classification:
F16K031/12
US Classification:
137/499000
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for modulating a flow of fluid in a duct using a rotating member that rotates in the duct. A sensing unit senses the rotation speed of the rotating member and generates a rotation signal as a function of the sensed rotation speed. A control unit receives the rotation signal from the sensing unit and generates a control signal to modify the rotation speed of the rotating member. The apparatus can be self-powering by generating an electric current in response to rotation of the blade.
