Abstract:
A system and method for rapid pressurization of a motor compartment and cooling system during a shutdown, a surge, and/or other situations in which the suction pressure significantly varies. A motor/compressor arrangement includes a seal gas system fluidly communicating with the motor compartment via a motor pressurization line, with the outlet of the compressor, and with a shaft seal. A motor pressurization valve is coupled to the motor pressurization line and a controller is configured to open the motor pressurization valve at start-up of the motor-compressor to supply seal gas to the motor compartment and to pressurize the motor compartment when a difference between the seal gas supply pressure and the suction pressure is indicative of the seal gas supply pressure being insufficient.
Abstract:
An electrical connector (10) for making electrical contact with at least one lead (48) of an electronic device. The connector (10) includes a mounting flange portion (12) and a connector housing portion (14). The connector (10) also includes at least one conductor (38) having a pin end (40) and a terminal end (42), wherein the terminal end (42) includes a lead opening (44) that receives the lead (48) and a fastener hole (46) oriented substantially transverse to the lead opening (44). A fastening element (50) is used to engage the fastener hole (46) and contacts the lead (48) to form electrical contact between the conductor (38) and the lead (48). The connector (10) further includes a conductor carrier (28) that extends through the connector housing (14) and mounting flange (12). The conductor carrier (28) includes a base portion (32) and at least one extended portion (34) that extends from the base portion (32) to form a staggered arrangement. The base (32) and extended (34) portions each include a plurality of channels (36) wherein each channel (36) includes a conductor (38).
