  • Liquid cooled integrated rotordynamic motor/generator station with sealed power electronic controls
    Patent number: 6685447
    Abstract: A rotordynamic system includes a vertically arranged motor, rotordynamic device and controller. The rotordynamic device is a centrifugal pump or compressor operated by the motor to drive a fluid from the input to the output. A liquid cooling system operates to maintain the controller and motor at a desired operating temperature. Due to the liquid cooling system, the controller operates the motor at effectively any practical speed. The liquid cooling system is in heat exchange relationship with an oil system contained within the motor to distribute thermal energy therebetween to further increase thermal control of each.

  • Tube type heat exchanger with motor or generator housing
    Publication number: 20020174976
    Abstract: A cooling assembly is provided for an electromechanical device, such as an electromagnetic or generator, including a housing having a wall portion. A magnetic field member is disposed within the housing and is arranged adjacent to the wall portion. A shaft having windings is located within the magnetic field member with an electric current flowing through the windings, which coacts with the magnetic field member. The magnetic field member and the windings produces an undesirable level of heat. The present invention incorporates a helical cooling coil defining a fluid conduit arranged adjacent to the magnetic field member for removing heat from the electromechanical device.
