Title: Innovations by Phillip A Parrish
Introduction
Phillip A Parrish is an accomplished inventor based in Fairfax Station, VA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of fluid dynamics and particulate transport, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative approaches have paved the way for advancements in various industrial applications.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is the "Fluidizing method and apparatus." This invention transports particulates by gravity flow while passing them through a fluidizer partitioned by a porous distributor plate. This design creates first and second chambers, allowing particulate materials to flow through the first chamber, which is in gaseous communication with the second chamber via the porous distributor plate. Gas is delivered to the second chamber at a pressure sufficient to generate a gas bearing between the porous distributor plate and the particulate material. The gas migrates through the particulate material and is vented to the surrounding atmosphere without causing substantial turbulence, thereby reducing dusting and separation of the particulates into sizes.
Another notable patent is the "Gas assisted flow tube and filling device." This device facilitates the transportation of particulate material and filling of die cavities. It includes a source of low-pressure gas that delivers gas to a chamber separated from a fluidizing chamber by a porous distributor plate. This design allows gas to flow through the particulate material and out a vent screen, enabling the particulate material to flow out of the fluidizing chamber essentially free of gas. The pressure of the gas is sufficient to provide a gas bearing to the particulate material adjacent to the distributor plate, but not high enough to cause turbulence in the fluidizing chamber.
