Title: Ruben Zelina and Vapor-Liquid Separation

Introduction

Ruben Zelina is an inventor associated with Dayton, Ohio, and Copeland Corporation. His patent work includes a design for separating vapor from liquid in flowing fluids.

Latest Patents

Zelina is credited with 1 patent: “Vapor-Liquid Separator and Systems Including Same.” The invention describes a separator with two flow paths. The first path carries fluid from an inlet to an outlet and includes a helical section. As fluid moves through this section, its velocity increases and its static pressure decreases, generating vapor. Bridges connect the first path to a second helical path, allowing vapor to transfer to a separate outlet while the remaining fluid exits through the fluid outlet.

Career Highlights

Zelina’s documented patent contribution focuses on fluid-management technology. The separator’s design provides distinct outlets for vapor and liquid, supporting systems that require the two phases to be separated during flow.

Collaborations

Zelina is associated with Copeland Corporation, a company whose work includes technologies for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration. The available information identifies the company connection but does not specify particular co-inventors or collaborators for the patent.

Conclusion

Ruben Zelina’s patent describes a helical-flow approach to separating vapor from liquid, reflecting his documented contribution to fluid-separation technology.
