Probe For Sensing Movement In A Compressor System
US Patent:
6657217, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Apr 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/828934
Inventors:
Mark A. Adams - York PA
Dean K. Norbeck - York PA
Paul W. Snell - York PA
Alexander J. Soussa - York PA

Assignee:
York International Corporation - York PA
International Classification:
G01N 2186
US Classification:
25055926, 25055927, 418 2
Abstract:
A probe is used to detect axial movement of a rotating part such as a shaft. The probe includes a probe tube portion that protrudes into an annular groove on the rotating part. When the rotating part moves axially, one or the other side surfaces of the groove contacts the probe tube. This contact leads to a changed state of the probe, that is sensed by a sensor.

Variable Orifice Rotary Control Valve
US Patent:
7565918, Jul 28, 2009
Filed:
Jul 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/457540
Inventors:
Michael Hemi Zamalis - York PA, US
Paul William Snell - York PA, US
Paul William Snell - York PA, US
Assignee:
Johnson Controls Technology Company - Holland MI
International Classification:
G05D 7/01
US Classification:
138 46, 251209, 138 45
Abstract:
A rotary control valve is provided. The valve includes a valve body having a first valve member with a first volute formed therein, wherein the first volute further includes a plurality of flow channels of varying diameter or a single flow channel having a generally smooth gradient from large to small diameter; and a second valve member in close proximity to or in direct contact with the first valve member with a second volute formed therein, wherein the second volute further includes a plurality of flow channels of varying diameter or a single flow channel having a generally smooth gradient from large to small diameter. The first and second volutes cooperate with one another to form an orifice between the first and second valve members, and the diameter of the orifice is variable based on the positions of the individual flow channels relative to one another. Also included are means for axially rotating the first and second valve members in opposite directions relative to one another for varying the size of the orifice formed between the valve members.
Method And Apparatus For Sensing Shaft Rotation
US Patent:
2009010, Apr 23, 2009
Filed:
Oct 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/876205
Inventors:
Paul W. SNELL - York PA, US
Dale M. UNGER - York PA, US
Dale M. UNGER - York PA, US
Assignee:
JOHNSON CONTROLS INC. - Holland MI
International Classification:
G01B 7/30
US Classification:
32420725
Abstract:
A system or method for sensing rotational parameters of a rotating machine. A rotating element is mounted on a shaft of a rotary machine. The rotating element has predetermined magnetic permeability. An insert is disposed on the first rotating element and characterized by a second magnetic permeability different from that of the rotating element. A sensor is mounted opposite the first rotating element and separated from the rotating element by a gap. The target element has an axis substantially parallel with and offset from the axis of the rotating element. The sensor is disposed in substantial alignment with the target element at least once per rotation when the rotating element is rotating. The sensor is configured to generate an output signal in response to a sensed deviation in a magnetic field induced by the rotation of the target element in proximity to the sensor.
Variable Geometry Diffuser
US Patent:
5116197, May 26, 1992
Filed:
Oct 31, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/606618
Inventors:
Paul W. Snell - York PA
Assignee:
York International Corporation - York PA
International Classification:
F04D 2940
US Classification:
415126
Abstract:
A system for stabilizing the flow of fluid in a variable capacity compressor having a diffuser, the capacity of which can be varied by changing the relative position of fixed diffuser surface and a movable diffuser surface. The system includes an annular push ring connected to the movable diffuser surface by a plurality of pins. The annular push ring is axially displaceable and rotatably fixed. Axial displacement of the annular push ring axially displaces the movable diffuser surface. The system also includes a drive ring mounted on a nozzle base plate for driving the annular push ring. The drive ring is axially displaceable and rotatable. Rotation of the drive ring axially displaces the drive ring, the push ring, and the movable diffuser surface.
