ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,352,250, issued on July 8.
"Bland/ewing cycles for CHP and CC processes" was invented by Joseph Barrett Bland (Sacramento, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Engine systems and methods for performing a new chemical/thermodynamic cycle, termed a Chemo/thermodynamic Closed Combined (CCC) cycle, are proposed herein. The CCC cycle is composed of an Endothermic Chemo/thermodynamic Open cycle (En-C-O) and an Exothermic Chemo/thermodynamic Open cycle (Ex-C-O), which together complete the larger CCC cycle. CCC cycles may operate as a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) cycle. Since the En-C-O and the Ex-C-O cycles are able to operate independently o...
