Title: Albert H Rooks - Innovator in Heat Pump Water Heater Technology
Introduction
Albert H Rooks is an inventor based in Olympia, WA (US). He is known for his innovative contributions to heat pump water heater technology. Although he currently holds no granted patents, his work in this field is noteworthy.
Latest Patent Applications
Rooks has submitted several patent applications that showcase his inventive ideas. One of his latest applications is for a "COMPACT AND CENTRALIZED HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER SKID PACKAGE." This system features a modular skid and a master controller designed to manage the heat pump water heater system. The skid includes a stratified primary storage tank for both cold and hot water, along with an array of heat pumps that heat the cold water into hot water. The storage tank is integrated within the skid, while the heat pumps are mounted externally. The hot water produced is then supplied to a building structure.
Another significant application is for a "CASCADE PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL (PCM) HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER." This system utilizes multiple heat pumps connected to a heat exchanger. A thermal battery bank, consisting of multiple PCM battery cells, is linked to the heat exchanger in a closed loop. Additionally, a circulator pump connects the heat exchanger to the PCM battery cells, enhancing the efficiency of the system.
Conclusion
Albert H Rooks is an innovative inventor focused on advancing heat pump water heater technology. His latest patent applications reflect his commitment to developing efficient and effective heating solutions.
