Abstract:
The invention concerns a regenerator, in particular for a Stirling cooling arrangement, with a band roll comprising a band (11) rolled around an axis and forming flow channels extending from one axial end to the other axial end of the band roll. It is endeavoured to manufacture a regenerator in a cost-effective manner and with reproducible flow paths. For this purpose, the band (11 ) has at least two foils (14, 15) resting on each other, each foil (14, 15) having recesses (18, 19; 21 ) and surface areas (20; 22- 25) separating the recesses (18, 19; 21) from each other, the recesses (18; 21) of adjacent foils (14, 15) overlapping one another in the axial direction (26).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a heat exchanger arrangement (1) with a housing that comprises a pipe-shaped wall (2) and a plurality of flow channels (3) inside the housing. With a simple manufacturing, it is endeavoured to achieve a good heat transition between a fluid in the flow channels and the outside of the housing. For this purpose, the flow channels (3) are formed between segments (4), which are stacked and resting upon one another in the circumferential direction, the segments (4) being held together by the pipe-shaped wall (2).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a displacer unit (3) for a Stirling cooling arrangement with a housing (12), a displacer (10) arranged to be reciprocating along an axis in a cylinder (11), said displacer (10) being located in the housing (12) between a compression chamber (9) and an expansion chamber (7), the compression chamber (9) being delimited on its side facing away from the displacer (10) by a bottom surface formed at a bottom wall (18), and with a connection pipe (4) opening into the compression chamber (9) transversely to the axis. It is endeavoured to achieve a good efficiency. For this purpose, the bottom surface (17) has a curvature in the direction towards the displacer (10).

For this purpose, the inside of the displacer (11) accommodates a sealing pipe (24) that extends from an end face and comprises at least one sealing element (25) that is connected to the displacer housing (6) and fills the cross-section of the sealing pipe (24).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a Stirling cooling arrangement (1) with a displacer unit (4) comprising a displacer (6) that is movable in a displacer housing (5) along a displacer axis (7), with a driving unit (2) and an isolating wall (17), the displacer housing (5) being guided through the isolating wall (17). In is endeavoured to keep the manufacturing cost of such a cooling arrangement low. For this purpose, in the circumferential direction the displacer housing (5) is arranged to have a gap (19) in relation to the isolating wall (17), in which gap (19) a flexible sealing arrangement (20, 21; 28; 34; 41) is located.
Abstract:
A method for driving an inductive load (A, B, C) arranged in an electrical circuit (1 ) further comprising at least two switching elements (T 1 T 6 ) and a DC power source (3) having a set of terminals. The method comprises the steps of closing a switching element, thereby connecting the inductive load to the terminals, opening the switching element, thereby disconnecting the inductive load, closing a second switching element, thereby connecting the inductive load to a current sink in order to allow a demagnetisation current in the inductive load to decay, and opening the second switching element when the demagnetisation current has decayed to a minimum level. Using this method the demagnetisation current does not have to decay via a diode. Thereby energy is not dissipated in a diode, and the efficiency of the circuit is thereby improved. Furthermore, the requirements to the components of the electrical circuit are reduced, and it is thereby possible to use less expensive components.
Abstract:
The present invention provides to a rotor having a short circuit ring of an electrically conductive material. The short circuit ring has a curved outer surface whereby the eddy-current braking effect on the rotor caused by the stray field from the stator is reduced. The curved surface leads to an improved efficiency of an associated electrical motor. The invention further provides a motor with such a rotor and to the use of a rotor in an electrical motor.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rotor für einen Elektromotor, insbesondere einen Line-Start-Elektromotor, mit in axialer Richtung verlaufenden Aufnahmeräumen (4 bis7), für Permanentmagnete (10 bis 13) und mit in axialer Richtung verlaufenden Aufnahmeräumen (20 bis 25) für Leiterstäbe. Um einen möglichst gleichmäßigen Lauf des Rotors zu erzielen, weisen die Aufnahmeräume (20 bis 25) für die Leiterstäbe in mindestens einem Sektor des Rotors einen im wesentlichen länglichen Querschnitt auf, und sind in diesem Sektor, im Querschnitt betrachtet, entlang ihrer Längsachse gekrümmt ausgebildet.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electric motor, comprising a rotor (1). One side of said rotor (1) is mounted in a stator (3) by means of a bearing (2) and the rotor tapers away conically from said stator in an axial direction, forming an air gap (4) between the latter (3) and the rotor. The width of said gap increases in an axial direction, moving away from the bearing (2). The aim of the invention is to achieve improved operating efficiency using a conically designed rotor. To this end, the rotor (1) has a number of axially extending grooves (7) in a magnetically conductive material (5), in which electric conductors are placed and the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the thickness of a cover (8) of the grooves (7) through the magnetically conductive material of the rotor (1) in a radial direction between the end of a groove (9) lying at the outer radius and a peripheral surface (10) of the rotor (1), is less than in the case of a thickness of the cover (8) which continuously diminishes in an axial direction away from the bearing (2).
