Title: James Dimitry and His Furnace System Patent.

Introduction

James Dimitry is an inventor associated with Toronto, Canada, and Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. His patent work includes a furnace system designed to coordinate regenerative heating with the preheating of materials supplied to a melting tank.

Latest Patents

Dimitry is credited with 1 patent, titled “Furnace system.” The invention describes a regenerative furnace with a melting tank and two regenerators. In forward operation, combustion air passes through the first regenerator and into the melting tank, while exhaust fluids travel from the tank through the second regenerator. In reverse operation, these flows switch direction.

The system also includes a preheater for materials supplied to the melting tank. Portions of the combustion air are diverted before entering the tank and mixed with fluids exhausted from the preheater, then delivered to the preheater’s fluid inlet. This arrangement connects the furnace’s regenerative airflow with the preheating process.

Career Highlights

Dimitry’s listed patent reflects work on furnace design and the integration of heat recovery with material preheating. His company affiliation is Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.
