Water Conductivity Monitoring Circuit For Use With A Steam Generator

View page
US Patent:
7445703, Nov 4, 2008
Filed:
Mar 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/366797
Inventors:
Jason Randall Savage - St. Joseph MI, US
Dwain Francis Moore - Benton Harbor MI, US
Thomas N. Robinson - Grand Rapids MI, US
Joel Matthew Sells - Hartford MI, US
Assignee:
Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
B01D 35/143
B01D 35/00
US Classification:
210 85, 210749, 210748, 210746
Abstract:
A water conductivity monitoring circuit determines the status of an ion exchange filter in the water flow to a steam generator. A microprocessor sends a reference signal to a conductivity sensor circuit that converts it to an excite signal that is sent to a probe in the water flow. Any conductivity of the water alters the excite signal, and the modified signal is compared to the reference signal to establish a value indicative of the conductivity of the water. The microprocessor compares the value to at least two thresholds representative of the status of the filter.

Heat Distributing Wave Tray For A Grill

View page
US Patent:
8037879, Oct 18, 2011
Filed:
Oct 27, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/258474
Inventors:
Ryan S. Murrin - South Bend IN, US
Joel M. Sells - Watervliet MI, US
Assignee:
Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
F24C 3/00
F24C 3/04
A47J 37/07
A47J 27/02
F23D 14/14
US Classification:
126 39B, 99447, 99400, 99401, 99445, 99450, 126 9 R, 126 39 D, 126 39 H, 126 39 N, 126 39 J, 126 39 K, 126 41 R, 126 25 R
Abstract:
A heat distributing tray for use in a barbecue grill includes a corrugated unitary body of heat conducting material having alternating solid and grated walls which define channels. More specifically, the body includes first and second side portions defined by both solid walls which extend at gradually decreasing angles with respect to a common horizontal plane and varying length grated walls interconnecting the solid walls. In use, the tray is placed over one or more heating elements in a barbecue housing, with radiant and convective heat from the heating element being optimally distributed throughout the entire interior portion of the barbecue grill due to the relative structure and configuration of the solid walls in relation to the grated walls.
