  • Method for detecting condensate formation which is imminent or has already taken place on/in electric motors, and method for avoiding corresponding condensate formation and/or for eliminating/reducing condensate on/in electric motors
    Patent number: 11881802
    Abstract: A method is used to identify impending or previously occurring condensation on/in electric motors, in particular on/in electric motors as a component of fans or fan groups. It includes the following method steps: Determining component temperatures, preferably surface temperatures on the electronics, on/in the motor, on/in the fan, or on/in fan groups; Determining the dew point temperature or individual dew point temperatures on the electronics, in/on the motor, fan, or on/in fan groups; Comparing the respective component temperature with the respective dew point temperature and concluding a formation of condensation has already taken place or is imminent when the component temperature approaches the dew point temperature or when the dew point temperature is undershot. A further method serves to prevent the formation of condensate and/or to eliminate/remove condensate on/in electric motors, in particular on/in electric motors as a component of fans or fan groups.
