Abstract:
A rotor construction for a dynamoelectric machine is provided with the usual arrangement of longitudinally extending slots within which to receive the conductor bars of a distributed winding. Retainer bars making a dovetail connection with the outer ends of the rotor slots serve to secure the slot conductors in place, and end portions of these retainer bars extend beyond the rotor slots so as to overlie the end turn portions of the winding. In order to hold these portions of the retainer bars in place over the end turn portions of the winding a double layer helical wire winding is applied. The layers are wound from a single length of wire, which is of rectangular cross section and preferably made of a material which has high tensile strength and is also conductive such as bronze, and the opposite ends of the wire are anchored to the end heads of adjacent retainer bars. The wire is also soldered to the retainer bars so as to establish a short circuit ring interconnecting all of the retainer bars, also conductive, which thereby establishes a cage similar to that used in asynchronous motors.
Abstract:
COMBINED INSTALLATION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FRESH WATER AND ELECTRICITY COMPRISES AN ELECTRICAL GENERATOR UNIT WHICH PRODUCES ELECTRIC POWER FROM HEAT ENERGY SUCH AS A STEAM TURBINE. THE TURBINE ALSO DRIVES THE COMPRESSOR UNIT OF A COMPRESSION-EVAPORATOR PRODUCING FRESH WATER FROM BRINE AND THE HEAT REJECTED BY THE ELECTRICAL GENERATOR UNIT IS UTILIZED IN AN EVAPORATOR-DISTILLER LIKEWISE PRODUCING FRESH WATER FROM BRINE SUPPLED TO IT.
Abstract:
AN ARRANGEMENT FOR COMPRESSING GASES OF RELATIVELY LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT CONSISTS IN CREATING A GAS-LIQUID EMULSION FROM THE GAS, THE EMULSION BEING FORMED BY INJECTION OF THE GAS INTO A LIQUID WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN BROUGHT UP TO SPEED; THE EMULSION IS THEN SLOWED DOWN IN A DIFFUSER THEREBY UNDERGOING COMPRESSION, AND THE TWO PHASES-GAS AND LIQUID-ARE THEN SEPARATED. THE COMPRESSED GAS IS THEN PASSED TO ITS POINT OF UTILIZATION AND THE LIQUID IS THEN PUT THROUGH A PUMP WHERE IT REGAINS THE ENERGY WHICH IT HAD GIVEN UP TO THE GAS AND IS THEN RE-CYCLED WITH FRESH GAS TO BE EMULSIFIED AND COMPRESSED.
