Abstract: A system including an electric motor of a compressor system and a controller is disclosed. The electric motor includes a switch configured to provide line frequency power to the electric motor to drive the electric motor at a full speed, and an inverter to provide variable frequency power to the electric motor to drive the electric motor at a variable speed. The controller is configured to determine whether the switch is closed in response to powering up the electric motor and before supplying the variable frequency power to the electric motor from the inverter. The controller is configured to prevent supply of the variable frequency power to the electric motor from the inverter to prevent damage to the inverter based on the determining that the switch is closed and generate an alert notification to notify a user of a fault in the switch.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a housing having an air intake, an air outlet, and defining an air passage therein. The air passage includes a first channel extending from the air intake in a radial direction and a second channel extending in the radial direction to the outlet. The electric machine further includes a motor assembly positioned within the housing that includes a shaft that rotates about a rotational axis that is generally perpendicular to the radial direction. The electric machine further includes an electronics assembly within the housing interior and a heat sink positioned at least partially within the air passage and thermally connected to the electronics assembly. Operation of the motor assembly draws an ambient airflow into the air passage in the radial direction through the air intake, directs the airflow along the heat sink, and exhausts the airflow through the air outlet in the radial direction.

Abstract: A frost sensor, or a frost/ice/water sensor, and systems and methods of using the same, are provided herein. The frost sensor includes a body including a measurement circuit, and a capacitance sensor including two or more co-planar plates coupled to and extending laterally from the body. The measurement circuit is configured to measure a capacitance sensed by the capacitance sensor, the measurement representing a change of material between the plates over time. The frost sensor also includes at least one mounting component coupled to and extending laterally from the body. In some instances, the frost sensor is coupled to evaporator coils of a cooling system.

Abstract: A combustion air blower includes a blower housing, an impeller fan within the blower housing, and an embossment to restrict airflow from the combustion air blower. The blower housing has a discharge conduit defining a discharge passageway. The discharge conduit is adapted and configured to receive a baffle such that, when the baffle is received, the baffle extends inwardly into the discharge passageway from a first wall towards a second wall opposite the first wall. The baffle restricts airflow within the discharge passageway. The embossment is in the discharge passageway and in the second wall and extends towards the first wall such that the embossment restricts airflow within the discharge passageway. The embossment cooperates with a baffle to provide a reduced cross sectional area of the discharge passageway in comparison to an upstream portion.

Abstract: A motor controller for an electric motor is provided. The motor controller includes a voltage limiting circuit configured to be coupled to an alternating current (AC) source and is configured to limit a voltage at an output node of the AC source, a filter configured to be coupled to the AC source and is configured to produce a filtered line frequency AC signal, a rectifier coupled to the filter and configured to produce a direct current (DC) signal from the filtered line frequency AC signal, an inverter coupled to the rectifier and configured to produce an AC signal on an input node of the electric motor, and a line contactor coupled between the AC source and the input node of the electric motor and configured to supply the input node of the electric motor directly from the AC source to energize stator windings therewith when the inverter is disabled.

Abstract: A blower has a blower housing of clamshell construction, including two housing members having a scroll back wall molded with radial draft, an impeller and a motor within the housing, and a static tap connected to the housing. The impeller has a backplate with a backplate back surface region of substantially the same radially converging shape as that of a front surface region of the scroll back wall formed by the radial draft, providing a substantially uniform axial gap between the backplate back surface region and the scroll back wall. The impeller has a ring connected by a skirt to the back plate to define a stepped area behind the ring. The impeller includes impeller blades extending forwardly from the impeller backplate and the ring and back fins extending rearwardly from the ring. The blower has a scroll width of about twice an impeller exhaust width.
