MUMBAI, India, Aug. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514079017 A) filed by First Ammonia Motors, Inc. on August 20, 2025, for Systems And Methods For Sequential Energization Of Heating Elements In An Electric Catalyst Unit For Ammonia Dissociation.
Inventors include Wall, Ii, James L.; and Kapp, Jr. , David Gwynn.
The application for the patent was published on August 21, 2026, under issue no. 34/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a system and method for sequentially energizing heating elements in an electric catalyst unit for ammonia dissociation on- board a vehicle. The present invention utilizes output temperature readings at various sections within the electric catalyst unit, and sequentially energizes corresponding heating elements only if the output temperature of an upstream section is below a threshold temperature required for ammonia dissociation to occur. By sequentially energizing heating elements as needed, versus fully energizing every heating element, the present invention mitigates the risk of degradation and failure of the vehicle power system and other electrical components in the vehicle.
