Fluid Valve

View page
US Patent:
7412948, Aug 19, 2008
Filed:
Apr 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/399901
Inventors:
Nicholas T. Pipkorn - Gladstone MI, US
David J. Allen - Gladstone MI, US
Mark S. Bader - Gladstone MI, US
Stephen J. Shiverski - Perronville MI, US
Assignee:
EMP Advanced Development, LLC - Escanaba MI
International Classification:
F01P 7/14
US Classification:
123 411, 123 4108, 236 345, 13762546
Abstract:
A fluid valve for use in proportioning/mixing fluid between at least one input and at least one output. The fluid valve including a rotary actuated diverter for controlling fluid flow between the inlet(s) and outlet(s). The fluid valve may be configured to support proportioning any number of fluids, including liquids and gases, for any number of applications, including automotive and industrial applications.

Rotary Axial Fan Assembly

View page
US Patent:
7484925, Feb 3, 2009
Filed:
May 10, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/125557
Inventors:
Jeremy S. Carlson - Gladstone MI, US
Nicholas T. Pipkorn - Gladstone MI, US
Todd R. Stevens - Marquette MI, US
Assignee:
EMP Advanced Development, LLC - Escanaba MI
International Classification:
F04D 29/58
US Classification:
415 79, 415119, 416193 R, 416244 R
Abstract:
The present invention provides a rotary axial fan and a stator fan for moving air through a heat exchanger for an internal combustion engine cooling system. The fan includes a hub and primary fan blades extending radially from the hub. An annular shroud is attached to the primary fan blades and supported coaxially with the central axis to limit the radial flow of air along the primary fan blades. A plurality of secondary fan blades are interposed between the primary fan blades and each have a first end attached to the annular shroud and terminate in a second end that is not attached to the hub. The stator fan includes a shroud with an array of stator fan blades supporting a hub for the radial axial fan. The size, orientation and material characteristics of the stator fan blades improve sound reduction and heat transfer of the rotary axial fan assembly.

20070234979, Oct 11, 2007
Filed:
Apr 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/400811
Inventors:
Nicholas Pipkorn - Gladstone MI, US
David Allen - Gladstone MI, US
Mark Bader - Gladstone MI, US
Stephen Shiverski - Perronville MI, US
International Classification:
F01P 7/14
US Classification:
123041080, 123041100
Abstract:

Rotary Fan With Encapsulated Motor Assembly

View page
US Patent:
20070237656, Oct 11, 2007
Filed:
Apr 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/401769
Inventors:
Nicholas Pipkorn - Gladstone MI, US
Todd Stephens - Marquette MI, US
Jeremy Carlson - Gladstone MI, US
David Allen - Gladstone MI, US
Mark Bader - Gladstone MI, US
Michael Turner - Plymouth MI, US
International Classification:
F04B 39/06
US Classification:
417366000
Abstract:
A fan assembly, such as a rotary axial fan assembly, is disclosed with a shroud that is adapted to be mounted proximate to a heat exchanger. The shroud is sized for conveying a flow of fluid through the heat exchanger and the shroud. A stator fan blade extends inward from the shroud for supporting a hub generally central within the shroud. A motor stator is encapsulated within the hub for receiving a fan rotor and fan blades for forcing the flow of fluid through the heat exchanger and the shroud. The hub may be formed from a thermally conductive material for transferring heat from the motor stator into the flow of fluid for dissipating the heat.

Centrifugal Fluid Pump

View page
US Patent:
20080149051, Jun 26, 2008
Filed:
Dec 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/644065
Inventors:
Nicholas T. Pipkorn - Gladstone MI, US
Assignee:
EMP Advanced Development, LLC - Escanaba MI
International Classification:
F01P 5/10
US Classification:
123 4144
Abstract:
A centrifugal fluid pump for circulating fluid through an engine's cooling system includes a body configured to be at least partially received within a bore in the engine, a shaft having an impeller rotatably connected to the body, the impeller being positioned to move fluid through the engine, and a shroud supported on the body and positioned between the duct and the impeller when the body is at least partially received within the bore. The shroud has an opening to permit the movement of fluid to the impeller and may be configured to engage an inner surface of the bore. The shroud remains stationary with respect to the bore as the shaft and the impeller rotate and the shroud and the bore cooperate to inhibit fluid from passing between the inner surface of the bore and the shroud to a position that is upstream of the shroud.
