Title: Lannah M. Schulz and Refrigerated Cargo Technology

Introduction

Lannah M. Schulz is an inventor based in Cameron, Wisconsin, and is associated with Johnson Truck Bodies, LLC. His patent work addresses a practical challenge in refrigerated transportation: powering a refrigeration compressor when its voltage requirements exceed the output of a vehicle’s alternator.

Latest Patents

Schulz is credited with 1 patent, titled “Refrigerated Cargo Vehicle with Alternator Driven Refrigeration System.” The invention describes a refrigerated cargo vehicle with an enclosure and a system that supplies cooled air to it. An engine-driven alternator provides electrical power, while a DC-to-DC power converter raises the voltage before delivering current to a compressor rated for a higher voltage than the alternator produces. This arrangement enables the vehicle’s alternator to power the refrigeration system’s compressor.

Career Highlights

Schulz’s listed patent reflects work on integrating vehicle electrical systems with refrigeration equipment. The design focuses on adapting alternator output to meet the compressor’s electrical requirements in a refrigerated cargo vehicle.

Collaborations

Schulz is associated with Johnson Truck Bodies, LLC. His listed coworkers include Aaron A. Strand and Gerald L. Larson.

Conclusion

Lannah M. Schulz’s patent describes a voltage-conversion approach for powering refrigerated cargo equipment from a vehicle’s alternator, connecting his work with practical innovations in refrigerated transportation.
