Publication number: 20170005567Abstract: A controller, and related method, to control switching elements of a plurality of voltage converters of a power system. The controller receives a signal representing an operating condition that indicates a contribution of each of the plurality of voltage converters to a ripple component of an input current or an input voltage of the power system. The controller ranks the plurality of voltage converters based on the contribution of each of the plurality of voltage converters to the ripple component. The controller calculates a switching phase offset for each switching element of the plurality of voltage converters by determining a switching order for each switching element of the plurality of voltage converters based on an alternating extremum contribution to the ripple component, and arranging control signals for each switching element of the plurality of voltage converters based on the switching order.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2014Publication date: January 5, 2017Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Maguns MELLTEG, Andreas LARSSON

Publication number: 20160322892Abstract: A controller for determining switching phases among switching elements of a power supply system having voltage converters, each comprising a switching element. The controller receives signals indicative of a contribution from each converter to a ripple voltage component of an input current of the converters, and ranks the converters. The controller calculates a switching phase offset that is to be applied for the switching element by: (i) calculating phase offsets of two highest ranked converters that would minimise an input voltage ripple caused by said two highest ranked converters, (ii) calculating a phase offset of a next-highest ranked converter that would minimise an input voltage ripple caused by said next-highest ranked converter and converters ranked higher than said next-highest converter; and (iii) repeating step (ii) for each converter in the ranking. The controller generates output signals defining the calculated switching phase offsets to be applied to the switching elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2013Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: Andreas Larsson, Torbjorn Holmberg, Magnus Mellteg

Patent number: 8262370Abstract: Arrangement in a blower including at least an engine and a fan, the fan includes a fan housing enclosing a fan wheel and a fan inlet. The engine and fan are surrounded by a casing provided with an air inlet to let air in to the fan inlet placed inside the casing. The air stream from the air inlet in the housing to the fan inlet cools the engine and components inside the casing before it enters the fan inlet and leaves the blower via a blower tube. The fan housing is provided with an opening (31) placed in the fan housing so that air is allowed to leave the fan in case of blocked air stream in the fan outlet or blower tube.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2004Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Husqvarna ABInventors: Mikael Kågebäck, Andreas Larsson, Lars Malmqvist, Andreas Hedlund, Lotta Norinder, Anna Sjögren, Anders Jakobsson

Publication number: 20120160468Abstract: An apparatus and a method for thermal management of a component in a first region, wherein an interconnector connects the component thermally to a second heat region, wherein a thermally conducting heat shield encloses the interconnector from a position within the first region in close proximity to the component to the second region, and that at least one heat unit is thermally connected to the interconnector within the second region. The heat units may be heat sources and/or heat sinks, and the invention may manage the component at a higher or lower temperature than the surrounding first region. When heat enters the heat shield from a hot surrounding first region, e.g. hot gas, the heat shield conducts heat more efficiently than the medium encapsulated by the heat shield. Thus, the heat tends to follow the path provided by the heat shield. Areas of use include providing efficient particle deposition by thermophoresis or heat a component in a cold environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2010Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: SINVENT ASInventor: Andreas Larsson
