Publication number: 20210297034Abstract: Motor overload protection device is equipped with a thermal monitor that can determine expected rotor temperature rise from rotor resistance estimates. The thermal monitor determines expected rotor temperature rise by using a correlation between rotor temperature rise computed from rotor resistance estimates, and motor thermal state estimates. The correlation can be derived by fitting a line to a plurality of points, with each point defined by an ordered pair composed of a rotor temperature rise estimate and a corresponding motor thermal state estimate, and determining a slope of the line. This rotor temperature slope can then be used by the thermal monitor to determine a rotor temperature rise given a rotor resistance estimate and a corresponding motor thermal state estimate. If the rotor temperature rise exceeds an expected rotor temperature rise by more than a predefined threshold, the thermal monitor issues an alarm and/or takes corrective actions in some embodiments.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2020Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventor: Roy Stephen COLBY

Patent number: 10532897Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulic hoisting system for moving material from an underground position to a surface level. In most cases, the system will be used to move fragmented rock or ore generated during the normal operation of a mine to a position on or near the surface of the Earth so that the rock or ore can be further processed. The system is a conduit loop for continuous flow of circulating fluid from near or at the surface to underground; a slurry preparation unit for mixing the material with a portion of the fluid to form a slurry; and an injection unit for injecting the slurry into the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Cementation Canada Inc.Inventors: Alun Price Jones, Stephen Korski, Roy Stephen Slack

Patent number: 8800309Abstract: A method of automatically detecting an anomalous condition relative to a nominal operating condition in a vapor compression system. An expected input power function in the form of a hyperplane is calculated based on three temperature readings: an intake temperature from an intake area of the condenser unit, a return temperature from an intake area of an evaporator unit, and a supply temperature from a supply output area of the evaporator unit. The function produces an estimate of the expected input power consumed by the compressor unit, and this expected input power is compared with an actual input power measured from the compressor unit. If the expected input power deviates from the measured input power by more than a predetermined tolerance, an indication is stored and communicated that an anomalous condition, such as a refrigerant loss, condenser unit fouling, or a malfunctioning fan, exists in the vapor compression system.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Paul Robert Buda, Roy Stephen Colby, Scott Robert Littler

Patent number: 8744630Abstract: A system and method of measuring atmospheric parameters in an enclosed space using instrumented objects having measurement sensors. The instrumented objects travel through the space randomly or along defined flight paths. As the instrumented objects travel through the space, the measurement sensors measure atmospheric parameters and store the measurements to a memory. The devices periodically upload the measured atmospheric parameters to a controller circuit. By using self-propelled objects to carry measurement sensors, the system and method disclosed herein allow for periodically sampling atmospheric parameters in the interior of an enclosed space at a number of locations greater than the number of measurement devices employed. With data points taken from various locations within a volume of an enclosed space, the system and method can realize a more efficient utilization of energy by adjusting mechanical controls of an HVAC system or a ventilation system, for example.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Roy Stephen Colby, Mark John Kocher
