  • Patent number: 6675590
    Abstract: A refrigerator or freezer includes a compressor with an electrical drive motor. The drive motor is activated by a rotational speed controller. The compressor is connected to a cooling medium circuit which contains a condenser, an evaporator and an expansion means arranged therebetween. The cooling device comprises a cooling space closable with a door as well as a temperature control for the cooling space. The rotational speed controller and the temperature control are grouped together to a constructional unit.

  • Patent number: 6542378
    Abstract: The frequency converter for an electrical motor essentially consists of power part integrated in a common semiconductor component, of a component accommodating at least the intermediate circuit electronics and of a component accommodating the control and regulation electronics. The electrical connections from the semiconductor component of the power part to the intermediate circuit component and from the semiconductor component of the power part to the control and regulation component are formed by sheet metal connections which are positioned and mechanically connected to one another by way of a common cast body.

  • Patent number: 6515386
    Abstract: The motor construction unit is provided for a submersible pump unit and comprises an electric motor with a frequency converter connected in series which are arranged in a common housing casing round in cross section. The frequency converter is as an insert arranged axially flush to the motor and consists essentially of three components, specifically of a common semiconductor element containing the power part, of a component containing the input and intermediate circuit and a component containing the 3 control and regulation electronics. The component containing the power electronics is via a heat distributor connected to the housing casing. The neat distributor is in its outer contour adapted to the inner contour of the housing casing and is pressed into this for heat conduction over the whole periphery.
