Title: Hartmut Knoll: Innovator in Insulating Glass Technology
Introduction
Hartmut Knoll is a prominent inventor based in Wolfen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of insulating glass technology, holding a total of 10 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and performance of insulating glass units through innovative coatings.
Latest Patents
One of Hartmut Knoll's latest patents involves insulating glass units with low-emissivity (low-E) and antireflective (AR) coatings. This invention relates to IG units that consist of three substantially parallel spaced apart glass substrates. At least two of these surfaces are equipped with low-E coatings, while some of the non-low E coated surfaces feature AR coatings. In specific embodiments, low-E coatings are applied to the second and fifth surfaces of the IG unit. Each internal surface that does not support a low-E coating is designed to support an AR coating. Additional AR coatings may also be applied to one or both of the outermost surfaces. Notably, the center substrate may not require heat treatment due to the reduced absorption achieved by the low-E coatings on the outermost substrates, as well as the minimized heat accumulation in the center lite and adjacent spacers.
Career Highlights
Throughout his career, Hartmut Knoll has worked with notable companies in the glass and ceramics industry. He has been associated with the Centre Luxembourgeois de Recherches pour le Verre et la Ceramique S.A. and Guardian Industries Corporation. His expertise in the field has led to advancements in insulating glass technologies.
