Patent number: 7287423Abstract: A method and device for evaluating the capacity of a compressor (1) by air being allowed to flow out from a pressure tank (3) through an opening of known geometry. Following a calculation, the quantity of evacuated air is obtained. After this, a compressor (1) pumps back up to the initial pressure in the pressure tank (3). The compressor capacity (1) is established by comparing the time it takes for the compressor (1) to pump back up to the initial pressure in the pressure tank (3) with the time it takes when an acceptable compressor (1) pumps the same quantity of air. By the compressor capacity (1) is here meant the quantity of air which the compressor (1) delivers per unit of time at a given compressor speed and counter-pressure.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2006Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Volvo Lastbvagnar ABInventors: Mats Sabelström, Anders Björklund

Patent number: 6140588Abstract: An arrangement with a conductor (15) intended to be on a high potential and a part (12) connected to ground and separated therefrom by at least a voltage receiving air gap (16, 17), comprising an insulating envelope (18) surrounding said conductor and at least a first member (9) of electrical insulating material arranged to screen off said ground part from said conductor. Said air gap is dimensioned to get such a high electrical field strength by possible sudden, strong voltage raises of said conductor, that air molecules in said air gap will be ionized. Said insulating envelope (18) and the insulating member (9) have surfaces arranged to receive electrical charges generated through said ionizing for creating a voltage over their thicknesses and decreasing the voltage drop in the air gap between the conductor (15) and the ground part (12).Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1997Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: Asea Brown Boveri ABInventors: Stefan Valdemarsson, Anders Bjorklund, Mats Leijon, Tommy Holmgren, Dan Windmar, Urban Astrom

Patent number: 4295113Abstract: In a transformer or a reactor having at least one winding of foil-formed electrical conductor material, a magnetic-flux-controlling spirally-wound sheet of highly permeable ferro-magnetic material is arranged axially outside each end of the winding. The ends of the sheet are galvanically connected to the foil winding. By division of the magnetic material in the sheet, a high resistance in the longitudinal direction of the sheet, and thus lower losses, are obtained.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1980Date of Patent: October 13, 1981Assignee: Asea AktiebolagInventors: Anders Bjorklund, Erik Persson, Lars-Goran Virsberg
