Title: Jordan Ko and the Multi-Element Airfoil for Pulp Screens.

Introduction

Jordan Ko is an inventor associated with Richmond, California, and The University of British Columbia. His patent work addresses pulp-screening equipment, where foil design can influence fluid flow and screening performance.

Latest Patents

Ko is credited with 1 patent: “Multi-Element Airfoil for Pulp Screens.” The invention describes a foil with a leading section and a spaced trailing section. Together, their surfaces form a passage that directs fluid from the pressure side of the leading section toward the cambered, low-pressure side of the trailing section. The design sets the complete foil’s angle of attack significantly below that of the trailing section, increasing the negative pressure pulse generated by the trailing section and improving the operation of the screening device.

Career Highlights

Ko’s listed patent reflects work on fluid-flow control in pulp-screening apparatus. The disclosed multi-element foil aims to improve screening performance through its geometry and the pressure pulse it produces.

Collaborations

James Allen Olson is identified as Ko’s coworker. The available information does not specify their roles or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Jordan Ko’s patent on a multi-element airfoil presents a design approach for directing fluid flow and strengthening pressure pulses in pulp screens.
