Title: David Snoswell: Patents in Heat Transfer and Oxy-Combustion.

Introduction

David Snoswell is an inventor associated with Cambridge, Great Britain. His patent work includes technologies for heat transfer and oxy-combustion. He is credited with 3 patents.

Latest Patents

One of Snoswell’s latest patents, “Heat transfer system,” describes a heat-transfer device designed to operate at low Reynolds numbers, from 1 to 1,000. The system uses a working fluid in a state of elastic turbulence to improve heat transfer. In some embodiments, the fluid is an emulsion whose dispersed phase changes between liquid and solid, allowing latent heat of fusion to contribute to the heat carried by the fluid.

His “Systems and methods for oxy-combustion” patent describes separating an electrolyzer feedstock into hydrogen and oxygen, then using derived feedstocks in a furnace. The method includes controlling the oxygen-feedstock composition or furnace pressure and recycling furnace exhaust steam. At least part of the recycled steam can be returned to the steam feedstock or electrolyzer feedstock.
