Abstract:
Process for regulating a compressor with motor for a refrigerating system, where the temperature of the cooling site is regulated through an on-off motor mode if the temperature in the compressor exceeds an upper temperature threshold. In addition, the temperature of the cooling site is regulated through a continuous on mode of the motor as soon as the motor has cooled to a lower temperature threshold. The controller converts a variable corresponding to the cooling requirement of the cooling site into a switch signal for a valve, which results in clocked opening and closing of the valve, or uses a frequency converter, which controls the cooling liquid flow through the compressor by regulating the voltage and the frequency of the motor in that the frequency converter converts a variable corresponding to the cooling requirement of a cooling site into a voltage and a frequency for the motor.
Abstract:
Method and equipment to control operating temperature of an air compressor. A compressor element compresses air and oil and supplies it to an oil separator. In the separator, the air and oil are separated. Oil is led to a circulating pipe and returned to the compressor element. When necessary, at least some of the oil flowing in the oil circulating pipe is supplied to cooling, which is used for controlling operating temperature of the compressor such that it is as low as possible, but nevertheless so high that no condensation point is reached. The amount of oil to be supplied to cooling is controlled by a thermostatic valve based on a change in dimension of a controlling element such that dimensions of the controlling element are changed by an external command.

Provided is an air conditioning apparatus that is capable of suppressing increases in volume and cost of the apparatus and performing more suitable overheating protection. An electric compressor is an inverter-integrated electric compressor integrally including a compressor, an electric motor that drives the compressor, and an inverter including a temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the vicinity of a semiconductor switching device, wherein a controller estimates a discharge temperature of the compressor on the basis of a correlation of respective pressure loading characteristics for the detected temperature of the inverter, for the rotational speed of the compressor, and for the motive force of the compressor in a refrigerating cycle.
Abstract:
An air pump has an air tank (20) for temporarily storing air from a pump unit (12) before discharging the air. The air tank has a tank body having a top wall (40) on which the pump unit is placed, and a peripheral wall (42) extending downward from the top wall. The tank body has a downward facing opening. The air tank further has a metallic bottom wall member (46) engaged with the bottom surface of the peripheral wall so as to close the opening of the tank body. Bolts are passed through the metallic bottom wall member and into a metallic part of the pump unit and tightened to connect and secure the pump unit and the air tank to each other.
Abstract:
A cryopump pumps gas from a vacuum chamber in a vacuum apparatus performing vacuum processing. The cryopump comprises: a refrigerator; a cryopanel cooled by the refrigerator; and a controller configured to control an operating cycle of the refrigerator such that the cryopanel is controlled so as to have a target temperature. When an operating cycle of the refrigerator has reached a first determination reference, the controller monitors the operating cycle for a first determination period of time, and when the operating cycle has reached a second determination reference, which corresponds to a higher load than the first determination reference, the controller monitors a temperature of the cryopanel for a second determination period of time, which is shorter the first determination period of time.
Abstract:
An installation structure for a temperature switch, used for a compressor of an air conditioner for a vehicle and having a cylindrical metal container with a bottom and a circular shallow dish-like thermally actuated plate placed at the bottom of the inside of the metal container. The installation structure further has a receiving recess provided in the front face of a housing of the compressor and in which the temperature switch is received, and also has one or more claws provided on a side of the temperature switch. When the temperature switch is received in the recess, the claws are engaged with the inner surface of the recess, which causes the temperature switch to be fixed inside the receiving recess.
Abstract:
A pressure sensor subsystem measures the pressure within a fuel pump and outputs an under-pressure signal when the measured pressure is below a predetermined threshold pressure value. A temperature sensor subsystem measures the temperature within the fuel pump and outputs an over-temperature signal when the measured temperature is above a predetermined threshold temperature value. A timing circuit monitors the pressure sensor subsystem and the temperature sensor subsystem for output of the under-pressure and over-temperature signals and outputs a pump disconnect signal when at least one of the signals is output for a prescribed time duration. A power controller disengages power from the pump upon output of a pump disconnect signal by the timing circuit.
Abstract:
A fluid impermeable barrier is provided to protect the rotor of an electric motor. The barrier includes a body portion with a relatively large opening at one end to receive the rotor laminations and a smaller opening at the other end to receive one end of the rotor shaft. With the body portion positioned about the laminations, a cap with an outer perimeter and central opening is slid down the other end of the rotor shaft to close the large opening in the body portion. The assembly is completed by sealingly attaching the outer perimeter of the cap to the large opening in the body portion and sealingly attaching the smaller openings in the cap and body portion to respective portions of the rotor shaft. Thus, the fluid impermeable rotor barrier includes no more than two parts that are assembled onto the rotor using no more than three areas of attachment.
Abstract:
An apparatus for protecting a fluid pump motor includes an electric motor for driving a pump head to pressurize a fluid. A liner is positioned in the motor air gap to prevent pressurized fluid from contacting one or more magnetic field producing elements of the stator. The liner includes a thin wall to minimize the air gap distance. The liner wall is made thin enough that, under loading of the pressurized fluid, the liner wall deforms and bears against one or more of the field producing elements of the stator for structural support. The liner is preferably fabricated as a single metal part using a deep drawing process that results in a can having opposed open and closed ends with a substantially uniform cross-section between the open and closed ends of the can.
Abstract:
A motor pump is provided in which the motor rotor is optimally force balanced for enhanced operation. The motor pump includes a pump head for pressurizing a fluid, and an electric motor drives the pump head. High pressure fluid is circulated through the motor air gap. The shaft of the motor rotor is axially movable with respect to the pump head such that the motor rotor is effectively floated in high pressure fluid as the fluid flows through the motor.
