Title: Innovations of Kyung-Bum Heo
Introduction
Kyung-Bum Heo is a notable inventor based in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of compressor technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and control of reciprocating compressors, which are essential in various industrial applications.
Latest Patents
Kyung-Bum Heo's latest patents include a "Driving control apparatus and method for linear compressor." This invention involves an apparatus for controlling the operation of a reciprocating compressor. It features a control unit that detects the current pushed amount of a piston when a top dead center (TDC) is identified as an inflection point of a phase difference between stroke and current. The control unit compares the current pushed amount with a reference value and adjusts the DC voltage applied to a linear motor accordingly. This method allows for increased stroke and maximizes compression volume without piston collision.
Another significant patent is the "Apparatus and method for controlling operation of reciprocating compressor." This invention includes a TDC/BDC detecting unit that identifies the TDC and bottom dead center (BDC) of the reciprocating compressor. The controller independently manages the TDC and BDC to align with each reference position based on the detected values. This innovation enhances the efficiency of the reciprocating compressor by allowing for precise control of its operational parameters.
