Centrifuge assembly

InactiveUS20070004577A1Minimizes detrimental forceExtend motor lifeCentrifugesAir managementMotor drive
A centrifuge system includes a drive motor mounted independently relative to a sample carrier to eliminate detrimental forces born by a motor drive shaft. The rotatable sample carrier or tray includes a rotating center operably connected to the drive motor. The drive motor cooperates with a resilient mounting system enabling self-centering, force and vibration compensation, and improving motor life. The rotatable sample tray and a sample tube holder have respective operably cooperative contoured surfaces enabling relative smooth pivoting motion in the sample tube holder during rotation, while minimizing sample vibration, and improving the desired sample separation while minimizing sample remixing. An air management system enables effective motor cooling and minimizes sample heating.

Heat exchanger for esp motor

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.

Through hub oil fill and vent for a fluid dynamic bearing motor

A through hub fill hole and air vent having an enlarged fluid diffusion path is provided for spindle motors. Oil leakage and evaporation from a motor is reduced. In an aspect, oil is retained under conditions of at least a 1000 G shock event. In an aspect, the hub fill hole has a varying diameter and geometry, and is angled, further reducing oil leakage. In an aspect, an additional cavity is employed within the hub, for maintaining rotor rotational balance. The process of filling oil into a spindle motor is made easier from a motor set up and tooling perspective. Removal of the hub and other motor components is not necessary for filling a motor. Large diameter oil fill dispenser heads, subambient and ambient fill processes, and micro dispenser fill processes may be utilized. A measured and controlled amount of oil can be dispensed, reducing variability in the motor filling process.

Electrical fan system for vehicle

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.
