  • Publication number: 20170343426
    Abstract: A sensor unit includes a sensor, a coupler, and a body. The coupler is connected to the sensor. The sensor is to be connected to an outside of the sensor unit via the coupler. The body supports the sensor and the coupler. The body is to be attached to an equipment from an outside of the equipment which includes an object to be detected by the sensor. The body includes an external appearance to distinguish the sensor unit from an another sensor unit which has an another sensor different from the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20160344268
    Abstract: A temperature estimation apparatus for a rotating electric machine includes a coolant dissipator, a heat dissipation amount calculator, a coolant temperature calculator, and a temperature calculator. The coolant dissipator is to cool down a coolant by heat exchange with a cooling air outside a rotating electric machine. The heat dissipation amount calculator is to calculate heat dissipation amount of the coolant in the coolant dissipator based on a physical quantity correlating with air speed of the cooling air and a physical quantity correlating with flow rate of the coolant. The coolant temperature calculator is to calculate, based on the heat dissipation amount, temperature of the coolant that has passed through the coolant dissipator. The temperature calculator is to calculate, based on the temperature of the coolant, temperature of the rotating electric machine which the coolant cool down.
