Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods to regulate the temperature of lubricant are provided. The regulation of the lubricant temperature can include increasing or decreasing the temperature of the lubricant. More specifically, apparatuses and methods are disclosed to reduce the temperature of the lubricant before it is directed to a mechanical component for lubrication purposes.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatuses for mounting a motor rotor to a shaft of a compressor are disclosed. The shaft can include a rib region that is configured to form a press fit or a transition fit with the rotor bore. An end of the shaft can also include a plurality of crenulations that can be expanded outwardly in a radial direction relative to a centerline of the shaft. After the rotor is mounted onto the shaft, the crenulations can be expanded to eliminate the clearance between the shaft and the rotor to form a press fit with the rotor bore.
