Title: Innovations by Colton K Leal
Introduction
Colton K Leal is an accomplished inventor based in Dubuque, IA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of work machine technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His innovative designs focus on improving the efficiency and functionality of work machines in various applications.
Latest Patents
Colton's latest patents include a "System and method of work machine implement control for subterranean mapping applications." This invention features a work machine that comprises a machine frame and at least a first implement for working terrain. It includes a subterranean monitoring unit and a load sensor associated with the first implement. The method allows for automatic control of the implement to maintain contact with the ground surface during subterranean monitoring operations. This is based on input signals from the load sensor and position sensors, generating multidimensional parameters for an electronic worksite map.
Another notable patent is the "Two-phase cooling system" for an electric work vehicle. This system includes a compressor, condenser, thermal expansion valve, heat exchanger, and evaporator. The compressor increases the refrigerant pressure, while the condenser discharges heat to condense the refrigerant. The thermal expansion valve decreases the pressure to vaporize the refrigerant, which then absorbs heat in the evaporator before returning to the compressor.
