  • Patent number: 12006861
    Abstract: An electric turbomachine for use with an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger or a fuel cell e-compressor includes a high-speed electrical machine located internally within a housing that is arranged to be rotationally driven by a shaft about a rotational axis; a compressor that is arranged to compress fluid within a turbo compressor when it is rotationally driven about the rotational axis by the shaft; a power electronics assembly that is arranged to supply power to the electrical machine; and a control assembly that is arranged to control the power supplied by the power electronics assembly to the electrical machine. The power electronics assembly is mounted externally on the housing on a first surface of the housing, and the control assembly is mounted externally on the housing on a second surface of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20230118102
    Abstract: An electric turbomachine for use with an internal combustion engine, turbocharger or a fuel cell e-compressor, said electric turbomachine comprising: a compressor (20) that is arranged to compress fluid within a turbo compressor when it is rotationally driven about a rotational axis (R) by a shaft, said shaft being rotational supported by a drive-end bearing (65) and a non-drive-end bearing (85), and a high-speed electrical machine located within a housing (50) that is arranged to rotationally drive the shaft about the rotational axis (R); said housing comprising a drive-end wall (60) that the shafts extends through to rotationally drive the compressor, a non-drive- end wall (80) at the opposing end of the electric turbomachine to the compressor, and a side wall (55) that extends between the drive-end wall and the non-drive-end wall, and wherein the electric turbomachine comprises a cooling system (330), for receiving a flow of a coolant fluid to cool the electric turbomachine, that is integrated within the h
