  • Publication number: 20200326110
    Abstract: High efficiency of a compressor that compresses a mixed refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroethylene is achieved. A compressor (100) includes a motor (70) that has a rotor (71) including permanent magnets (712) and thus is suitable for a variable capacity compressor in which the number of rotations of the motor can be changed. In this case, it is possible to change the number of rotations of the motor in accordance with an air conditioning load in an air conditioner (1) that uses a mixed refrigerant containing at least 1,2-difluoroechylene. It is thus possible to enable high efficiency of the compressor (100).

  • Patent number: 9923424
    Abstract: A radial gap type rotating electrical machine includes a field and an armature. The field includes a permanent magnet and a magnetic ring which serves as a back yoke of the permanent magnet. The magnetic ring is provided at a position farther from the armature than the permanent magnet, and includes a recess at a magnetic pole center.

  • Publication number: 20150171680
    Abstract: A field element has permanent magnets embedded in a core and extending in the axial direction parallel to a rotation axis. Both a magnetic pole face of the permanent magnet close to an armature and a magnetic pole face away from the armature show arcs concaved toward an armature side. A radius of an arc shown by the magnetic pole face away from the armature is larger than a radius of an arc shown by the magnetic pole face close to the armature. Further, a focal point of the arc shown by the magnetic pole face away from the armature is further away from the permanent magnet than a focal point of the arc shown by the magnetic pole face close to the armature. Also, the focal points and the rotation axis are arranged on one straight line as viewed from the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 8616016
    Abstract: At a time of a heating high-load operation, a harmonic current is flown in an armature winding to induction-heat rare-earth magnets, thus reducing a residual magnetic flux density. Thereby, the number of rotations of a radial gap type motor is improved. The rare-earth magnets are provided near a cooling medium passage extending substantially in parallel with a flow line of a cooling medium, so that the cooling medium recovers heat of the heated rare-earth magnets. At a time of a cooling high-load operation, a greater number of rotations are obtained with respect to the same torque command value, by a field weakening control by means of a current-phase advance.
