Abstract: A system for cooling a hermetic motor includes a motor cooling refrigerant flow path configured to direct refrigerant from a condenser disposed along a refrigerant loop to a hermetic motor, and from the hermetic motor back to the refrigerant loop, and a housing of the hermetic motor disposed along the motor cooling refrigerant flow path and configured to receive the refrigerant from the condenser, wherein the housing of the hermetic motor comprises an annulus surrounding at least a portion of a stator of the hermetic motor, and wherein the annulus comprises a plurality of openings configured to direct refrigerant toward the stator and into a cavity of the housing of the hermetic motor.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) bulb includes a base, a shell connected to the base forming an enclosed volume, a chassis disposed within the shell, and a plurality of LEDs disposed with the shell. The LED bulb also includes a thermally conductive liquid disposed within the enclosed volume. The LEDs and the chassis are immersed in the thermally conductive liquid. The chassis has a first opening and a second opening. The second opening is spaced from the first opening to facilitate a passive convective flow of the thermally conductive liquid to exchange a first volume of the thermally conductive liquid interior the chassis with a second volume of the thermally conductive liquid exterior the chassis.

Abstract: An LED bulb includes a base and a shell connected to the base. The shell is filled with a thermally conductive liquid for cooling the bulb. A plurality of LEDs is disposed within the shell. A first set of LEDs of the plurality of LEDs is positioned a first distance with respect to the center of a convex portion of the shell, and at a first angle with respect to a centerline of the LED bulb. A second set of LEDs of the plurality of LEDs is positioned a second distance with respect to the center of the convex portion of the shell, and at a second angle with respect to a centerline of the LED bulb. The first distance, first angle, second distance, and second angle are selected such that the LED bulb has a light-distribution profile that varies less than 20 percent in light intensity over 0 degrees to 135 degrees as measured from an axis from the center of the shell through an apex of the shell.
