Latest Patents

Barthold’s listed patents address degassing technology and pneumatic valve operation.

“Degassers, Degassing Systems and the Methods of Using Them” describes equipment designed to remove gas molecules from processing liquids. The system uses a vacuum chamber with liquid inlets and outlets, along with separators that allow gas molecules to pass through while retaining the liquid. A vacuum creates the pressure differential that draws gas through the separators. The design may also include feed lines connected to multiple separators.

“Solenoid Bypass System for Continuous Operation of Pneumatic Valve” describes a solenoid valve assembly intended to maintain a supply of pressurized inert gas to a process tool. Its manifold connects to the valves’ pressure, actuator, and relief ports, and provides a dedicated external relief port for each valve. If a solenoid valve is de-energized, a second gas source can connect through the corresponding external relief port to continue supplying the pneumatic valve. The system also allows the controller to be removed while the valve assembly panel remains connected to the fluid system.
