A blower has a blower housing of clamshell construction, including two housing members having a scroll back wall molded with radial draft, an impeller and a motor within the housing, and a static tap connected to the housing. The impeller has a backplate with a backplate back surface region of substantially the same radially converging shape as that of a front surface region of the scroll back wall formed by the radial draft, providing a substantially uniform axial gap between the backplate back surface region and the scroll back wall. The impeller has a ring connected by a skirt to the back plate to define a stepped area behind the ring. The impeller includes impeller blades extending forwardly from the impeller backplate and the ring and back fins extending rearwardly from the ring. The blower has a scroll width of about twice an impeller exhaust width.

20230077214 · 2023-03-09 ·

Provided is an axial gap type motor employing a non-rare earth magnet, and a water pump using same. The axial gap type motor for a water pump (EWP) comprises: a rotor rotatably supported on a fluid flow passage between a pump cover and a body case; a stator arranged in a lower space formed by the body case and an upper cover, so as to generate a rotating magnetic field, thereby rotating the rotor; and a partition arranged on the body case in order to separate the rotor from the stator. The rotor can use a ferrite magnet, which is a non-rare earth magnet.

SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
20230070541 · 2023-03-09 ·

A submersible pump, comprising: a casing, having accommodated therein a pumping unit and a drive unit for driving the pumping unit; a base, defining a pump inlet; and a float control unit. The float control unit comprises: a float, having at least one magnet; and a float chamber housing, defining a float chamber in which the float is movable up and down. The float chamber has at least one opening which connects the float chamber with an external environment. At least part of the float chamber housing is movably or removably attached to an outer wall of a casing of the submersible pump.

ROTARY MACHINE WITH REFRIGERANT FLOW PATH
20230125199 · 2023-04-27 ·

A rotary machine includes an electric motor including a rotor and a stator, a rotating shaft to be rotated driving the electric motor, an impeller attached to the rotating shaft, an inner case surrounding the stator and to which the stator is fixed, and an outer portion externally mounted on the inner case. The outer portion includes an inner circumferential surface facing an outer circumferential surface of the inner case, and a flow path groove formed on the inner circumferential surface and through which a refrigerant passes.

Thin cooling fan

A thin cooling fan includes a fan shell, a motor, a plurality of blades, and a PCB. The fan shell comprises a base plate and a shell cover which cover to each other to form an inner space. The base plate has a first surface facing toward the inner space and a second surface having a receiving space and opposite to the first surface. The motor is combined in the inner space. The blades are disposed in the inner space and rotated by the motor. The PCB is disposed in the receiving space and flush with the second surface. Thus, the whole thickness of the cooling fan is reduced and the flow channel design in the inner space is not affected.

DYNAMICALLY MODIFIABLE AIR MOVERS AND CONTROL THEREOF

Dynamically modifiable air movers can be modified during operation of a computing system to allow the performance of the fan (air flow, air flow split between exhausts) to be adjusted based on a workload being performed by the system. The physical modifications that an air mover can undergo are physical in nature and include adjusting the placement of one or more cutwaters, expanding or contracting an expandable portion of the fan housing, covering or uncovering an exhaust to provide or remove cooling to memory components, and moving a slidable strip to extend or withdraw from an exhaust. Causing one or more of these physical modifications to be made can be performed in response to the system determining that a temperature, rate of temperature change, power consumption level, rate of power consumption level change of the system or system components exceeds or has dropped below a threshold level.
