    Abstract: A rotor assembly for use in a radial flux electric motor assembly is provided. The rotor assembly includes a rotor core having a plurality of circumferentially spaced rotor poles and a plurality of magnets alternately spaced with the plurality of rotor poles. The plurality of rotor poles define a radial aperture between each pair of circumferentially adjacent rotor poles, and each radial aperture is configured to receive a magnet of the plurality of magnets therein. The rotor assembly further includes an end cap coupled to the rotor core and to the plurality of core magnets. The end cap includes a plurality of deformable members positioned between the rotor core and the plurality of magnets and configured to restrict movement of the plurality of magnets within the radial apertures. The deformable members are configured to deform upon insertion into a cavity defined between the rotor core and the plurality of magnets.

    Abstract: A terminal box assembly for use with an electric motor assembly having a housing includes an annular adaptor fixedly coupled to the housing, a mounting hub extending from the housing and positioned within the adaptor, and an annular terminal box rotatably coupled to the adaptor. The terminal box includes a baseplate having a central opening defined therein and configured to receive the mounting hub therethrough. The terminal box assembly also includes a mounting bracket coupled to the mounting hub and positioned within the terminal box such that the baseplate is positioned between the mounting bracket and the adaptor. At least one fastener is inserted through an opening in the mounting bracket and is configured to selectively engage the base plate to compress the terminal box and the adaptor together.

    Abstract: A control system for a cooling system configured to selectively operate one or both of a condenser fan an evaporator fan in a reverse direction RD, measure power draw at the motor against configuration data and fan motor profiles, and determine if a blockage has occurred before the static pressure has reached a critical point static pressure where the efficiency, performance, and cooling capability of the cooling system is hindered and maintenance is required to clear the blockage. By determining if blockage has occurred before the static pressure has reached the critical point static pressure, an alert or corrective action can be taken.

    Abstract: A motor assembly having a rotational axis includes a motor housing comprising a plurality of cooling openings extending therethrough and defining a chamber. The motor assembly also includes a stator fixedly coupled to the motor housing and positioned within the chamber. A rotor is coupled to at least one of the motor housing and the stator, wherein the rotor is configured to rotate about the axis and is positioned within the chamber. The motor assembly includes a fan having a first inlet side on a first axial side of the fan and a second inlet side on a second, opposing, axial side of the fan. The fan is configured to draw cooling air in a first direction through the at least one cooling opening into the first inlet side, and the fan is also configured to draw cooling air in a second, opposite direction into the second inlet side.

    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.
