Patent number: 11473819Abstract: A heat pump includes an internal heat exchanger and a regulating device designed to bring the temperature of the working fluid at the outlet of a compressor to a specifiable minimum difference above the dew point at the same pressure. This allows the use of novel coolants in heat pumps, e.g., coolants having a low dew line slope of under 1000/kJ in the temperature-entropy diagram and characterized by very good safety and environmental properties.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: SIEMENS ENERGY GLOBAL GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Bernd Gromoll, Florian Reissner

Patent number: 9431878Abstract: An electric machine has a base body with a stator, a rotor shaft mounted in the base body, and a heat exchanger. Cooling ducts for a liquid cooling medium are arranged in the base body. The rotor shaft is embodied as a hollow shaft through which the liquid cooling medium can flow. The heat exchanger dissipates heat contained in the liquid cooling medium to the surroundings of the electric machine. The heat exchanger, the rotor shaft and the cooling ducts are fluidically connected in series, producing a closed circuit for the liquid medium. A feed element is arranged to co-rotate with the rotor shaft. The feed element is inserted in the closed circuit for the liquid cooling medium to forcibly circulate the liquid cooling medium in the closed circuit as the rotor shaft for the liquid cooling medium rotates.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Konrad Brandl, Vladimir Danov, Klaus Dennerlein, Bernd Gromoll, Jürgen Hofmann, Patryk Piotrowski, Andreas Schröter
