An electric fan system has a first electric blower 10, which utilizes a brushless motor, and a second electric blower, which utilizes a brushed motor, for distributing the cooling air to the radiator and the condenser. The system has an electronic engine control unit which activates only the first electric blower when it determines that the cooling water temperature is less than T2, and activates both the first and second electric blowers when it determines that the cooling water temperature is T2 or higher. The water temperature is based on a detection output from a cooling water temperature sensor. Thus, since the electric blower is not activated unless the cooling water temperature becomes T2 or higher, use of the brushed motor is limited and its life is increased.

A motor configuration between the rotor and the commutation system, comprising rotor coils energized by mechanical or electrical ways wherein a positive charge, negative charge and a no-charge section is applied in order to reduce the heat and energy consumption and therefore increasing the motor life.

A heat exchanger to serve ESP equipment installed on the seabed located in either a caisson or skid. A hot oil line connects the base of the ESP motor with the externally located heat exchanger, allowing hot motor oil to be circulated through coils externally exposed to seawater. The heat from the oil is rejected to the seawater and the cooled oil is reintroduced to the motor via a cold oil line that communicates with the seal section. The heat exchanger arrangement reduces the temperature of an ESP motor, thus allowing the motor to operate longer and more reliably.

A bearing positioning structure for a motor includes an axial tube and a positioning member. The positioning member includes a pressing portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion of the positioning member is engaged with a coupling section of the axial tube for securely mounting the positioning member to the axial tube, with the pressing portion of the positioning member pressing against a bearing to position the bearing in the axial tube. In another example, the coupling portion of the positioning member engages with a coupling section on a stator.

An expansion chamber to serve ESP equipment installed on the seabed located in either a caisson or a conduit on a skid. The expansion chamber provides an external reservoir for expansion and contraction of motor oil in the ESP equipment. During operation of an ESP, the heat generated in the motor raises the temperature of the motor oil, causing it to expand. The expansion chamber is connected to the ESP equipment via oil lines that allow oil to expand into the expansion chamber when the temperature of the motor oil increases. The expansion chamber has a movable barrier therein that defines primary and secondary chamber. Oil communicates with the primary chamber. Formation fluid within the conduit surrounding the motor communicates with the secondary chamber.
