Publication number: 20230170833Abstract: An inverter unit (100) includes an inverter (110), an inverter housing (120) and an insulating member (130). The inverter (110) drives an electric motor (200) and includes at least one power module (112) for converting a High Voltage (HV) Direct Current (DC) to a three-phase Alternating Current (AC) that drives the electric motor (200). The inverter housing (120) receives the inverter (110). The power module (112) is mounted on an end wall (120a) of the inverter housing (120) by means of bolts (114). The insulating member (130) corresponding to each bolt (114) is disposed between a head portion (114a) of the corresponding bolt (114) and the power module (112).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: Valeo Japan Co., LtdInventors: Mathieu Varillon, Herve Ribot, Augustin Bellet, Praveen Mathesan, Baskaran Raja, Prakash Ganesan

Patent number: 6560984Abstract: A compressor for a system for air-conditioning the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprises a casing enclosing a system for compressing a refrigerant fluid, an electric motor for driving the compression system and electronic means for control of the electric motor. A low-pressure intake chamber (24) for the refrigerant fluid is integrated into the casing (6) and is separated from the high-pressure chamber by a separating partition (26). The electronic means for control of the electric motor (12), which are placed in the intake chamber (24), are cooled by the refrigerant fluid. A separate chamber (34) for connection of the motor (12), defined in the casing (6), communicates with the high-pressure chamber (15) via a passage (36). The chambers (24) and (34) are closed off by a cover plate (20) equipped with all the connecting terminals of the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Valeo ClimatisationInventor: Augustin Bellet
