Superior Boiler Gains Two US Patents for Watertube Boilers
Superior Boiler has been awarded patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for two products created for advanced hot water heating in the company’s watertube boilers.
The company’s high-temperature fluid generator, protected by U.S Patent No. 11,047,596, provides exceptional flexibility on the temperature differential of heating, enabling a swing of 160°-450°F. Because of its ability to scale, the fluid generator is designed for industrial applications with large heating loads. Invented by Sundeep Bodapati, vice president of engineering, watertube division, Superior Boiler, the generator’s membrane-style construction uses a simplified design that makes it easier and less expensive to fabricate. Its components can be built separately and assembled quickly and, because they are more accessible from the outside than comparative units are, the generator is inexpensive to use and easy to inspect and maintain.
