Title: Douglas W. Bissonnette and Compressor Thermal Valve Innovation.
Introduction
Douglas W. Bissonnette is an inventor associated with Harrisburg, North Carolina, and Ingersoll-Rand Company. His patent work addresses lubricant routing in oil-filled screw compressors, where temperature-responsive control can help direct oil through an appropriate path.
Latest Patents
Bissonnette is credited with 1 patent: “Compressor Thermal Valve Unit to Route Lubricant Used in a Compressor.” The invention describes a thermal valve unit that can be attached to an exterior pipe segment carrying compressed air. A thermally responsive element senses heat from the air and actuates a movable valve member, opening or closing oil passages. This allows lubricant to be routed through a heat exchanger before reaching the compressor or sent directly to the compressor without passing through the exchanger.
Career Highlights
Bissonnette’s listed invention focuses on integrating temperature-responsive valve control into a compressor’s lubricant circuit. The design provides a way to select between two oil-routing paths based on thermal conditions.
Collaborations
Bissonnette is associated with Ingersoll-Rand Company. His listed coworkers include Christopher J. Taylor and Subodh Kumar.
Conclusion
Douglas W. Bissonnette’s patent describes a practical compressor-control innovation that uses thermal response to manage lubricant routing and support the operation of an oil-filled screw compressor.
