Abstract: A vertical motor pump including an upper bearing and a lower bearing located on the motor side for journaling a rotary shaft for rotation at an upper portion and a lower portion respectively of a rotor, at least one of the upper and lower bearings being constituted by a ball bearing. The vertical motor pump further includes a hydrostatic lubricated bearing system for journaling the rotary shaft besides the ball bearing, for bearing a radial thrust during operation.

Abstract: A communication aperture is formed in a wall of a pump chamber for allowing a part of pressurized fuel in the pump chamber to flow into a motor chamber, to thereby cool a motor armature, brushes, a commutator and so on. The aperture is formed inclined with respect to the direction of fuel flowing in the pump chamber. A dynamic pressure component as well as a static pressure component is applied to the inclined aperture with a result that a sufficient amount of fuel flows into the motor chamber even when a discharge pressure of a pump is decreased.

Abstract: A pump for a central heating system having a tubular housing and a motor for driving an axial flow impeller which is mounted within the housing, the motor having casing mounted within the tubular housing, forming a liquid flow passage between the outer surface of the casing and the inner surface of the housing, the motor being adapted to be powered by electricity supply of a frequency greater than 70 Hertz, wherein the impeller is mounted upstream of the motor, and guide vanes are mounted in the annular passage to smooth the flow of liquid from the impeller.

Abstract: The invention is a hermetically sealed motor driven pump cooled by a liquid dielectric coolant. The pump has an impeller housing, a motor housing containing a liquid dielectric cooling fluid of the same type as the pumped fluid, and a sealing means between the impeller housing and the motor housing to prevent flow of the pumped fluid from the impeller housing to the motor housing. An electric motor is contained in the motor housing with a shaft extending into the impeller housing and an impeller attached to the shaft inside the impeller housing. A hollow conduit from the discharge port of the impeller housing to the motor housing is used to create a fluid pressure inside the motor housing equal to the pressure of the pumped fluid at the discharge port to increase the heat dissipation. Particles in the pumped fluid are effectively excluded from contacting the bearings. The hollow conduit may contain a filter or desiccant and the motor housing may contain a magnetic plug.

Abstract: A motor driven pump is described having an improved and simplified construction of pump casing and impeller with easy adaptability of the components over a wide range of capacity, an improved construction of the motor stator and rotor with structure which is adaptable for selection for use over a wide range of input, improved structure for alignment and support of the motor stator and of the motor rotor from a reference element referred to as a post, and without compounding and piling up of tolerances, and with adequate provisions for cooling and for pressure balancing.

Abstract: A compressor unit for use with a heat pump system wherein a motor-driven compressor is disposed within a casing which can be placed indoors or outdoors. Vapor from the suction side of the system is directed into and through the compressor, through an oil separator-muffler, and then into contact with liquid from the high side of the system, the liquid being directed onto a rotating disk to form a spray which contacts and thereby de-superheats the compressor discharge vapor. The de-superheated vapor then moves into and through the air gaps of the compressor motor in heat exchange relationship thereto where it is re-superheated. The re-superheated vapor then leaves the fan ports of the motor and enters the open top of a vertical standpipe which also receives the excess liquid collected in a trough surrounding the upper end bell of the motor. The liquid is entrained in the re-superheated vapor and moves therewith out of the casing toward the four-way valve and the condenser coil of the system.

Abstract: A commutated electric motor, which motor is cooled by the fluid which it pumps. The motor has a molded end cover construction, the material being the bearing material, and providing for guiding of the brushes. Torsion springs are utilized as the sole biasing means and current carrying members for the brushes. Also, the fluid is pumped along a closed channel structure and directed against the brushes to increase endurance.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electric blower assembly provided with an air guide structure designed such that the current of air expelled from a rotating impeller under the influence of centrifugal force is guided to the body of an electric motor while being accelerated. The air guide structure comprises an air guide block having front and rear compartments. The front compartment includes a plurality of volute chambers designed such that, during flow of air within the volute chambers, the dynamic pressure can be converted into static pressure. The flow of air under the static pressure is subsequently guided at a relatively low pneumatic velocity into the rear compartment and then into the body of the motor to cool the latter. The air used to cool the motor is thereafter exhausted to the outside of the motor.

Abstract: A compressor construction is provided which includes a sealed housing having a motor and a compressor unit connected in driving relationship with the motor. The compressor unit is provided with an inlet port which is adapted to receive low pressure fluid therethrough and an outlet port through which the fluid passes under high pressure. The housing includes a housing inlet port that is connected to the compressor unit inlet port through an appropriate conduit. Additionally, a housing outlet port is provided that is aligned with the compressor unit outlet port. However, no direct connection is provided between the compressor unit outlet port and the housing outlet port, thereby providing a compressor construction which substantially eliminates the hydraulic hammer effect and noisy operation of prior compressor constructions.

Abstract: Electric blower assembly wherein air expelled by centrifugal force from impellers passes through volute chambers disposed peripherally with respect to said impellers and each defining a space which is increasingly larger as the distance from the impellers increases, whereby smooth air flow is produced in the volute chambers since the speed of air flow therethrough is lessened and pressure therein becomes static pressure. From the volute chambers air passes along inclined channels and then around a drive motor, whereby the drive motor is cooled. In entering at least part of each volute chamber air from the impellers comes into contact with a volute chamber wall extension which becomes gradually lower in a direction opposing that of impeller rotation whereby noise due to contact of a volute chamber wall by all portions of the air from the impeller does not occur simultaneously and a quieter blower assembly is provided.

Abstract: A refrigeration condenser has the fan and motor supported in depending relation from an inverted, cup-shaped member centered in the top wall opening through which condenser air flows, the cup being supported from the perimeter of the opening in the top wall of the condenser housing by radial spokes having outer ends connected to the housing and extending in a substantially straight line inwardly to connections with the cup, so that the weight of the motor and fan is borne in part at least by tension in the spokes.
