Title: The Innovations of Stephen J Kohke
Introduction
Stephen J Kohke is an accomplished inventor based in Martinsville, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electrostatic precipitators, showcasing his expertise through his innovative patent.
Latest Patents
Kohke holds a patent for an electrostatic precipitator control system. This invention involves the automatic control of voltage and current supplied to the primary winding of the transformer-rectifier (T-R) set of an electrostatic precipitator. The system utilizes silicon-controlled rectifiers and a reactor, which are controlled by sensing spit and spark discharges within the precipitator. The invention addresses the phase shift that occurs between line voltage and line current when precipitator voltage drops due to heavy sparks or arcs. Signals developed from these discharges are used to control the precipitator voltage through phase control of the SCRs. The system also includes an inhibit circuit to prevent false triggering of the automatic control system, enhancing sensitivity in the spit sensing circuit. Additionally, an automatic soft-start feature brings the precipitator voltage to the operating level during start-up and after process changes. Kohke's invention ensures that precipitator current and voltage are limited, and the power supply is disconnected when an undervoltage condition is detected.
