Title: Juan M. Torres and Carbon-Reduction Heating Technology.

Introduction

Juan M. Torres is an inventor based in Plymouth, Minnesota, and is associated with Trane International Inc. His work includes a patented heating strategy designed to coordinate heat-pump and auxiliary heating while reducing carbon emissions.

Latest Patents

Torres is named on 1 patent: “Heat Pump and Auxiliary Heating with Carbon Reduction Reset Strategy.” The invention describes a system that determines the heat pump’s heating coefficient of performance using outdoor ambient temperatures. The heat pump then heats a process fluid according to that performance and a reference coefficient of performance. An auxiliary heat source can raise the fluid to the target temperature needed to heat a load, with that target temperature also determined in relation to outdoor conditions.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects an approach to heating that accounts for changing outdoor temperatures and the heat pump’s efficiency. By coordinating the heat pump with auxiliary heating, the strategy aims to support the required heating output while reducing carbon emissions.

Collaborations

Torres’s listed coworkers include Lee R. Cline and Brian A. Kirkman. The patent is associated with Trane International Inc.

Conclusion

Juan M. Torres’s patented heating strategy combines heat-pump performance calculations with auxiliary heating to meet heating demands while supporting carbon reduction.
