American Radionic Company’s Chronology
Of Patents, New Products and Technology Transfer Programs
– From The Present, To The Past, A Thirty-Five Year Review



2007
(Jan) AmRad introduces the Turbo®Meter—a dual screen capacitance meter for use the Turbo®200 product line. Allows the contractor to see both fan and values at the same time as the Turbo®200 is installed.
 
2006-12
(Dec) Turbo®200 is American Radionic's United States Patent office trademark registration number 3,141,014.
 
2006-10
(Oct.) AmRad Engineering has developed the Turbolytic®200, a universal replacement capacitor using advanced thin-film technology. This device, which has six separate capacitors in a single continuous winding and uses jumper wires to “create” numerous different values. The Turbolytic®200 has broad implications for the “industrial-based” service equipment industry as well as for OEMs. The Turbolytic®200 encompasses 20 mfd to 450 microfarads. In the months ahead, we expect to cover the rang from 100 mfd through 1500 microfarads.
 
2006-08
(Aug.) American Radionic has re-established its Precision Capacitor Division. At this time, particular emphasis is being placed on high microfarad film dielectric capacitors. These range from 100 microfarads to 2,500 microfarads. Historically, this has been the realm of electrolytic capacitors but these have numerous short comings in many modern applications. With recent advances in thin-film capacitor dielectric products as well as in metallizing (coating) capabilities along with  AmRad’s advanced capacitor winding machine technology, a whole new product line is being developed. These capacitors (HMFC series — high microfarad film capacitors) have vast implications for power supplies, both industrial and military.

AmRad Engineering introduces the world’s first dual screen capacitance meter for the simultaneous reading of dual capacitor values. This device is extremely helpful to a service technician when “setting” up (that is, wiring), the Turbo®200 Series of Universal Replacement capacitors. Patents have been applied for  this new and very unique device.

INNOVATION, QUALITY AND SERVICE

American Radionic Co., Inc. is the oldest manufacturer of film dielectric capacitors in the world that is still owned, operated and controlled by the founding family.
 
2005-10
(Oct.) Another item is added to the Turbo®200 line of universal capacitors. It is the Turbo®200 Mini. A small capacitor to be used for single value (“fan-sized”) capacitors. [Note: Used mainly on air handling units for use with fan motors.]
 
2005-06
(June) AmRad Engineering adds another product to the Turbo line with the introduction of the Turbo™200X. This device is targeted to the higher range of microfarad values ( 70mfd to 97.5mfd ) used in conjunction with scroll compressor-based air conditioning equipment.
 
2005-02
(Feb.) The AmRad Division introduces the Turbo®200 Universal Service Capacitor at the ASHRAE (AHR) show in Orlando, Florida. This device allows an air conditioning service contractor to replace any one of the 200 different single and dual value motor-capacitors used in air conditioning equipment. It was chosen as one of the most significant new items at that show.

An extensive patent program has been established around this new device.

 
2002
Super Mighty Met.
