Publication number: 20240084794Abstract: An electric compressor includes a housing, refrigerant inlet port, a refrigerant outlet port, an inverter section, a motor section, a compression device and a front cover. The housing defines an intake volume and a discharge volume. The refrigerant inlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to introduce the refrigerant to the intake volume. The compression device is a scroll-type compression device configured to compress the refrigerant. The refrigerant outlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to allow compressed refrigerant to exit the scroll-type electric compressor from the discharge volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: MAHLE INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventor: Brett Bowman

Patent number: 11581764Abstract: A rotor assembly for a permanent magnet motor includes a rotor stack of laminated ferromagnetic layers and partial end plates at opposite axial ends of the rotor stack wherein each axial end of the rotor bears two partial end plates, each of which covers a partial circle and does not axially overlap with the other one of the partial end plates at the same axial end. The two partial end plates of each axial end are formed by a first axial end plate shaped as a first partial ring disc and a second partial end plate shaped as a second partial ring disc that are made of stamped metal and that are of different mass.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: MAHLE International GmbHInventors: Brett Bowman, Jonathan Hammond

Publication number: 20220231585Abstract: Asymmetric skewed rotors and an electric motor that incorporates said rotors. The rotor being are configured to rotate within a stator positioned to surround a portion of the rotors. The stator and rotors are aligned along a centerline (x). Each rotor includes an asymmetric feature, such that during operation dynamic balance results when the asymmetric feature on each rotor are aligned opposite one another perpendicular to the centerline (x) and static balance results when the asymmetric feature on each rotor are aligned opposite one another parallel to the centerline (x).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2021Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Brett Bowman, Brent Haseley
