Introduction

Weihua Zhong is an inventor based in Beijing, China, and is associated with the China Institute of Atomic Energy. His patent work includes a system and method for testing corrosion under continuous-flow supercritical carbon dioxide conditions.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Zhong: “Testing System and Testing Method for Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Continuous Flow Corrosion.” The invention describes a closed-loop testing system designed to circulate carbon dioxide and assess its corrosive effects on a sample.

The system includes a gas supply system and a testing loop. A circulation pump drives the liquid carbon dioxide through the loop, while a flow meter measures its flow rate. A heater converts the liquid into carbon dioxide gas, which passes through a test section containing the sample. After testing, a regenerator exchanges heat with the gas, and a condenser cools it back into liquid. A circulation tank supplies and recycles the liquid carbon dioxide, completing the loop. Zhong is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Zhong’s listed invention focuses on enabling continuous corrosion testing in a controlled, recirculating carbon dioxide environment. The design brings together circulation, heating, sample testing, heat exchange, condensation, and fluid recycling in one system.
