Abstract:
A stator defines multiple stator poles with associated stator windings. A rotor defines multiple rotor poles with associated rotor windings configured to be energized substantially by the stator. The rotor defines a rotor field energizable by magnetic fields produced by the stator windings to produce relative force between the rotor and the stator. An active rectifier is conductively coupled to one or more first rotor windings. The active rectifier is configured to control a direction of current flow through the one or more first rotor windings responsive to a signal received wirelessly from the stator by one or more second rotor windings.
Abstract:
A combined power system includes a rotary electric machine housing in which a rotating shaft of a rotary electric machine is rotatably supported. For the rotary electric machine housing, a cooling jacket and compressed air flow passages are formed on an outer circumferential side of the cooling jacket. On an outer side wall of the rotary electric machine housing, a terminal casing is formed and electric terminal portions are accommodated in the terminal casing. Compressed air is supplied to the terminal casing. An electrical current converter formed on the outer side wall of the rotary electric machine housing is cooled by the cooling jacket.
Abstract:
A concentric manifold ring assembly comprises an internal distribution manifold for a generator. The manifold is for use in a direct-liquid-cooled alternator together with a mating housing to form a concentric fluid distribution channel that enables the transport and distribution of chilled coolant from a heat exchanger to select locations in the alternator via channels, ducts, and jets. The external heat exchanger feeds chilled coolant through a feed port where the incoming fluid is directed circumferentially via a channel formed by the manifold body and housing. From the circumferential flow, streams of coolant flow from drilled jet ports, while the circumferential flow back-cools rectifier mounting surfaces. Fluid flows flowing axially out of ducts to create an active end-to-end circulation of chilled fluid within the alternator to absorb thermal energy from alternator components before being drawn out of a return flow channel via a return flow port.

Abstract:
A highly efficient circulator system is provided, useful for hydronic systems, including both heating and cooling systems. The stand-alone circulator motor is controllable by input from certain sensors, preferably thermal sensors, which provide data enabling the controller of the brushless pump motor to vary its flow output to meet changes in systems loads. The circulator has a ceramic permanent magnet rotor, such as a ferrite, with an electronically, preferably sinusoidally, commutated, electro-magnetic stator controlling the input of electrical power.

A linked semiconductor module unit links a plurality of semiconductor modules by a first bus bar and a second bus bar, which are embedded in resin parts. The linked semiconductor module unit is disposed in a place other than on a printed circuit board. The semiconductor module linking structure is implemented readily by molding the bus bars together with semiconductor chips and lands to form the resin parts.
Abstract:
There is provided an integrated electric compressor that can be made small in size while reducing radio noise effectively. In an inverter of the electric compressor, a snubber circuit 21 comprising a resistor R and a capacitor C is provided between input/output terminals 20 of a power source and a switching element 18. The snubber circuit 21 is formed by surface mounting a resistive element constituting the resistor R and a capacitor element constituting the capacitor C on a power board 16. A leakage current from a motor 19 is thus restrained and radio noise is reduced. The resistive element and the capacitor element constituting the snubber circuit 21 are preferably surface mounted on the power board 16 on the side opposite to the side on which a control circuit board is arranged.
