  • Publication number: 20220418049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating system (200) for heating of a fluid. The heating system comprises a supply connection (201) in fluid communication with a supply of fluid to be heated. It further comprises a structured body (108) arranged for heating of the fluid during use of the heating system. The structured body comprises a macroscopic structure (21) of electrically conductive material, the macroscopic structure comprising at least one channel (22) through which the fluid can flow. The heating system further comprises at least two conductors (103,114) configured to electrically connect the structured body to at least one electrical power supply. The at least two conductors are electrically connected to the structured body at a first end (204) and at a second end (205), respectively, of a conductive path within the structured body. The structured body is configured to direct an electrical current to run along the conductive path from the first end to the second end thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220410263
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an object (24) by joining a first component (25) and a second component (26). The first component comprises metal powder with a first alloy composition and a first soluble binder, and the second component comprises metal powder with a second alloy composition and a second soluble binder. They may further comprise ceramic powder. At least one of the surfaces to be joined is dissolved before they are brought in contact, or a mixture of metal powder with a third alloy composition and a dissolved third binder is arranged there between. The chemical differences between the first, second, and third alloy compositions are within predetermined limits. The components are sintered or oxidized together whereby it is possible to obtain an object wherein the transitions between the material phases from the joined components are close to inconspicuous when analysed with scanning electron microscopy.

  • Publication number: 20220336135
    Abstract: A magnetizer including a housing, a passage arranged inside the housing, and a permanent magnet assembly arranged outside the passage to provide a magnetic field passing through the passage. The housing defines an inlet to the passage and an outlet from the passage such that an object to be magnetised can be inserted into the passage via the inlet in the housing and removed via the outlet in the housing. The passage includes a uniform portion where opposing surfaces of the permanent magnet assembly are arranged a uniform distance apart along the length of the uniform portion and a diverging portion arranged between one end of the uniform portion of the passage and the outlet of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20210203201
    Abstract: A cylindrical mounting sleeve suitable for mounting a rotor assembly on a shaft, said cylindrical mounting sleeve comprising a hollow cylindrical portion having a length L and an inner surface with a radius R, said cylindrical mounting sleeve further comprising at least one elongated protrusion formed on the inner surface, the elongated protrusion having a height H. The path of the elongated protrusion forms an angle A to the longitudinal centre axis of the hollow cylindrical portion, said angle A being greater than 5 degrees and less than 70 degrees. In this way, a mounting sleeve is provided which reduces the damage during mounting of the sleeve on the shaft. This reduces imbalance in the rotor assembly. The invention also relates to a rotor assembly comprising such a cylindrical mounting sleeve.

  • Patent number: 10826372
    Abstract: The magnetic gear includes a magnetic force generator (8), a driving shaft (1), a driven shaft (2) and a gear carrier (3) which are magnetically coupled in movement to one another. Only one magnetic force generator (8) is provided, which one magnetic force generator (8) has a north-south alignment that runs in the axis direction (111) of a shaft (1, 2) or parallel to this.

  • Patent number: 10432078
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic gear comprising a first magnetic rotor with a first shaft; and a second magnetic rotor with a second shaft; a support structure, with a first end shield and a second end shield connected by a stat or support element. A first bearing attached to the first end shield supports the first shaft and a second bearing supports the second shaft. The first and second magnetic rotors are displaced in axial direction from each other in an axial gap; and the first shaft and shaft are approximately aligned in opposite axial directions; and a plurality of magnetic flux conductors encircles the first and second magnetic rotors, thereby conducting magnetic flux from the first magnetic rotor to the second magnetic rotor. The magnetic gear comprises a dividing wall arranged in the axial gap between the first magnetic rotor and the magnetic second rotor, to separate a first chamber from a second chamber.

  • Patent number: 10411571
    Abstract: A magnetic coupling includes an inner rotor (11) and an outer rotor (9) which at least partly surrounds the inner rotor (11). These rotors (11, 9) each are formed of magnetic material (18) and are coupled to one another by way of magnetic forces. The inner rotor (11) and/or the outer rotor (9) contain powdery, magnetizable material (18). The powdery, magnetizable material (18) is magnetized at a side lying opposite the other rotor at several locations distributed over the periphery.
