Yuzou Sawada has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10233942
    Abstract: A fluid device having a fluid machine and a rotary electric machine includes a fluid machine and a rotary electric machine connected to a rotating shaft of the fluid machine. A cooler is arranged for carrying out liquid-cooling using a fluid of a cooling pipe connecting an upstream portion and a downstream portion of the fluid machine to bypass the fluid machine. The fluid machine and the rotary electric machine are detachably coupled to each other. Hence, the rotary electric machine can enhance the cooling performance for the rotary electric machine and reduce its size, achieving improvements in maintainability and serviceability.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090314019
    Abstract: A sub-engine (30), a compressor (40) driven by the sub-engine (30), and a refrigeration circuit (70) connected to the compressor (40) and operable in a vapor compression refrigeration cycle are provided, and the interior of a refrigerator (13) of a refrigerated vehicle (10) is cooled. A rotational speed control unit (91) for linearly controlling fluctuations in the rotational speed of the sub-engine (30) such that the refrigeration capacity grows or declines in response to a refrigeration load is provided. A battery (51) for storing electric power and an electric generator (50) for generating electric power by the rotational drive of the refrigerating engine (30) to store the generated electric power in the battery (51) are provided. A fan motor (7a) for the refrigeration circuit (70) is selectively connectable to the electric generator (50) and the battery (51) such that power is fed from one of the electric generator (50) and the battery (51) to the fan motor (7a).
