The coating composition is also typically applied upon all exposed surfaces of the rotor, e.g., within the channels and exterior surfaces of the rotor. The coated rotor is then contacted with a molten metal. The coating composition functions to isolate the laminates (e.g., steel) of the rotor from a molten metal (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2000Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Elisha Holding LLCInventors: Robert L.

Patent number: 6797315Abstract: A step of a method applies a coating material to an electric coil of a workpiece. Before, after, or before and after that step, another step directs a first heated gas flow to impinge on the workpiece. An embodiment of apparatus includes first, second, and third mechanisms. The first mechanism directs a first heated gas flow to impinge on the workpiece. The second mechanism applies a coating material to the electric coil. The third mechanism relatively transports the workpiece between the first mechanism and the second mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Odawara Automation, Inc.Inventor: Christopher R.

Patent number: 6780457Abstract: The invention discloses a process for producing a high-quality insulation on a conductor or conductor bundle of rotating electrical machines, in which, in successive immersion passes in a fluidized-bed sintering tank, internal corona-discharge protection, insulation and external corona-discharge protection are applied, in each case with layer thicknesses of ≦0.2 mm. The sintering and curing take place at temperatures of approx. 200° C., so that it is possible to use materials which satisfy the demands which are imposed on the insulation of conductors or conductor bundles of this type for rotating electrical machines. Furthermore, the production process, in particular the layer thickness selected for the individual layers, ensures that the individual layers are free of defects, so that it is impossible for there to be any partial discharges, which would otherwise lead to damage to the insulation.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: ALSTOM Technology LTDInventors: Thomas Baumann, Johann Nienburg, Jörg Sopka

Publication number: 20040126483Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing inorganic and/or organic coating compositions onto rotor cores to eliminate soldering during aluminum injection. These coatings can also be applied upon electric motor rotors and/or stators laminates as well as other electronic components such as transformers. The disclosed method provides a coating upon a zinc core (e.g., having threads or holes) that is embedded within a cast metal and in turn removed from the casting in order to define a cavity within the casting. The disclosed method also provides at least one film or layer of a coating composition within channels or bar slots defined by the rotor of the electric motor core/rotor (depending upon the design of the motor the slots can be defined within the rotor or open ended along the longitudinal axis of the rotor). The coating composition is also typically applied upon all exposed surfaces of the rotor, e.g., within the channels and exterior surfaces of the rotor. The coated rotor is then contacted with a molten metal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2003Publication date: July 1, 2004Inventors: Robert L. Heimann, Bruce Flint

Patent number: 6461730Abstract: A lubricant for a wire which is first insulated by means, of a lacquer coating, the wire being used for forming the stator windings of an electrical refrigerating compressor. The lubricant consists of one or more compounds of the formula CH3—Xn—R, wherein X is a linear or branched hydrocarbon group with n carbon atoms, wherein n is up to 22, and R may be hydrogen or a plurality of different radicals, either in a pure form or dissolved in a solvent. The lubricant is applied to the wire to reduce its coefficient of friction, and it is remarkable for its compatibility with the environmentally unharmful refrigerants, such as R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane).Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1996Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Danfoss A/SInventors: Jürgen Bachmann, Lars L.
