ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,535,075, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to Garrett Transportation I Inc. (Torrance, Calif.).

"Multi-stage electric compressor energy consumption optimization" was invented by Jaroslav Pekar (Brno, Czech Republic) and Lubomir Baramov (Prague).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Compressed gas delivery systems and controllers. A multi-stage compressor system operation with series compressors is optimized by a controller by using inter-stage pressure as a control parameter for optimization to provide reduced power consumption. A multi-compressor system with parallel compressors is controlled using optimized operation parameters for each of sever...
