Andrew Collier is an inventor based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. His work includes inventions related to combustion systems and fluid control, and he is associated with Honeywell International Inc. Collier holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Collier’s listed patents include two inventions focused on improving the performance and control of industrial equipment.

- **Compact low emissions burner nozzle using additive manufacturing.** This burner nozzle combines a central air-fuel port with surrounding staged gas-fuel ports that direct fuel toward a flame zone. A trapped vortex chamber in the central port wall communicates with primary gas ports and helps stabilize the flame. The design applies additive manufacturing to a burner intended to support low-emissions operation.

- **Bi-stable valve.** This valve has an inlet and two outlets. Its internal walls guide flow toward the first outlet when back pressure is low, then shift the flow toward the second outlet as back pressure at the first outlet increases.

Career Highlights

Collier’s patent work reflects an interest in practical engineering solutions for combustion and flow management. The burner nozzle addresses flame stability and fuel delivery, while the bi-stable valve uses changing back pressure to direct flow between outlets.

Collaborations

Collier’s listed coworker is Wyatt Culler. Both inventions are associated with Honeywell International Inc.

Conclusion

Andrew Collier’s patents cover burner and valve designs that address flame stability, emissions-conscious combustion, and responsive flow control.
