6797027, Sep 28, 2004
Filed:

Apr 10, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/122647
Inventors:

Eivind Stenersen - River Falls WI
William Michael Nyman - Eagan MN
Richard Thomas Canepa - Plymouth MN
Assignee:

Donaldson Company, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

B01D 5000
US Classification:

553501, 553851, 55467, 55473, 55482, 55486, 55487, 55495, 55527, 55528, 96108, 96121, 96134, 96136, 96380, 429 12
Abstract:

A filter assembly for removing particulate contaminants and chemical contaminants from an incoming dirty air stream for a fuel cell.

Seal-Leak Detector Arrangement For Compressors And Other Equipment
view source
US Patent:

6984465, Jan 10, 2006
Filed:

Sep 5, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/236420
Inventors:

Richard Thomas Canepa - Plymouth MN, US
Eivind Stenersen - River Falls WI, US
Assignee:

Donaldson Company, Inc - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:

H01M 8/04
F04B 39/04
US Classification:

429 34, 429 12, 137312, 4151681
Abstract:

An early warning system for equipment or processes which can be permanently or temporarily damaged by contaminants coming from air moving equipment, such as a compressor, positioned upstream of air flowing through the equipment. The present invention provides a seal-leak detection arrangement that, when incorporated into air moving equipment, monitors the air passing through the air moving equipment for the presence of contaminants such as lubricant oil, which could damage the equipment downstream. At least one sensor is positioned downstream of a contaminant retaining seal within the air moving equipment. The seal-leak detection arrangement is particular useful when incorporated into systems upstream of a fuel cell.

Acoustical Cavity For Removal Of Contaminants From Fluid
view source
US Patent:

20040226437, Nov 18, 2004
Filed:

Apr 2, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/817241
Inventors:

Eivind Stenersen - River Falls WI, US
Richard Canepa - Plymouth MN, US
Christopher Conway - Shoreview MN, US
Mark Gogins - Roseville MN, US
International Classification:

B01D051/08
US Classification:

095/029000, 096/389000
Abstract:

A system for particulate removal from fluid streams by using acoustic cavity technology. The technology can be applied to various applications, such as Diesel engine post-combustion emissions control systems, mist filtration systems, particle recovery systems, liquid degassing systems, and closed crankcase ventilation systems. An acoustic cavity can be used to replace an inertial separator, cyclone, or similar particulate removal equipment, providing a considerably lower pressure loss across the cavity compared to an inertial separator or cyclone, because an acoustic cavity does not appreciable alter the fluid flow path.

Air Filtration System For Fuel Cell Systems

US Patent:

20050208348, Sep 22, 2005
Filed:

Mar 18, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/084355
Inventors:

Richard Canepa - Plymouth MN, US
International Classification:

B01D050/00
H01M008/00
US Classification:

429012000, 055385300
Abstract:

A contamination control system for cathode intake air for fuel cell systems, particularly PEM fuel cell systems. The contamination control system incorporates three portions, particulate control, chemical contaminant control, and sound suppression or attenuation of the noise emitted by air handling equipment such as compressors, blowers, fans and expanders. At least one of these portions is designed and installed in the fuel cell system with the intent of lasting the life of the system. In a preferred system, a z-filter configured for straight-through flow is permanently installed in an automobile.
