AIR COMPRESSOR
An air compressor includes: a motor; a compression mechanism that is driven by the motor and that is configured to generate compressed air; a tank that is configured to store the generated compressed air; a load acquisition part that is configured to acquire a load applied to the compression mechanism; and a control part that is configured to control a rotation of the motor. The control part is configured to perform control for changing a TN characteristic of the motor in response to the load of the compression mechanism acquired by the load acquisition part.
HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP
The present invention provides a high-pressure pump. The high-pressure pump comprises a motor assembly, a gear assembly, a plunger assembly, a pump head assembly and a water inlet and outlet valve assembly. The motor assembly comprises a motor and a dual-layer housing. An annular water channel surrounding a motor stator is formed at the dual-layer housing. The periphery of the motor stator coil is filled with heat-conductive material, and the heat of the motor stator coil is conducted to the annular water channel through the heat-conductive material to perform active heat dissipation for the motor stator coil. Therefore, the cooling efficiency is high and the structure is simple.
HERMETIC COMPRESSOR
A hermetic compressor includes a compressor shell, a terminal provided on the compressor shell, a terminal guard erected on the compressor shell and surrounding the terminal, and a terminal cover mounted to the terminal guard and covering the terminal. A terminal chamber is defined by the compressor shell, the terminal guard, and the terminal cover. Except for at least a body of the terminal, metal portions facing the terminal chamber are generally covered with an insulator such that the metal portions are not exposed to the terminal chamber. The insulator includes an insulating portion that covers an inner surface of the terminal guard.
Air compressor
An air compressor includes a tank unit, a compressed air generating unit, a motor unit, a driving current generating unit, a control unit and a temperature detecting unit. The tank unit stores a compressed air. The compressed air generating unit generates the compressed air to be stored in the tank unit. The motor unit drives the compressed air generating unit. The driving current generating unit generates a driving current of the motor unit. The control unit drives the motor unit by controlling the driving current generating unit. The temperature detecting unit detects a temperature of the driving current generating unit. The control unit changes the driving current of the motor unit by controlling the driving current generating unit based on the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit.
Electric compressor, control device, and monitoring method
This electric compressor includes a compressor which rotates to compress a fluid, a motor which rotatably drives the compressor, and a control unit which controls current supply to the motor using first and second components. An allowable current for first and second components exposed to the same temperature is set to be smaller in the second component than in the first component. The second component is disposed at a place in which cooling capability is greater than that of the first component so that allowable power of the second component at rated use is greater than allowable power of the first component. This electric compressor includes a temperature sensor which detects the temperature of the first component and a calculation unit which outputs an alarm signal when the detected temperature and a current flowing in the first component satisfy a predetermined condition.
EMERGENCY OPERATION METHOD FOR ACTUATING A FUEL PUMP
An emergency operation method for actuating a fuel pump after a first temperature threshold for an actuation electronics system of the fuel pump has been exceeded including reducing a power consumption of an electric motor that drives a pump stage by the actuation electronics system by reducing a rotational speed until a monitored temperature value falls below a second temperature threshold below the first temperature threshold. Emergency operation method is initiated after the first temperature threshold is exceeded by a fault signal output by the actuation electronics system to an engine control unit is communicatively connected to the actuation electronics system. The fault signal, as long as it is output, is used to suppress a specification for the rotational speed of the electric motor on the part of the engine control unit and instead to specify the rotational speed by way of the actuation electronics system.

Electrical submersible pump control
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for determining the flow rate and fluid density in an electrical submersible pump (ESP) and controlling the ESP based on the flow rate and density. In one implementation, an ESP system includes an ESP, drive circuitry, a current sensor, a voltage sensor, and a processor. The ESP includes an electric motor. The drive circuitry is electrically coupled to the ESP and is configured to provide an electrical signal to power the ESP. The current sensor is configured to measure a current of the electrical signal. The voltage sensor is configured to measure a voltage of the electrical signal. The processor is configured to calculate speed of a shaft of the electric motor based on a frequency induced by rotation of the motor detected in the current. The processor is also configured to calculate a density of fluid in the ESP based on the speed.
PROVIDING BACKPRESSURE FOR ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR
An air treatment system includes an electric compressor for compressing air, an air flow valve positioned in a delivery line downstream of the electric compressor, and an electropneumatic valve connected to the air flow valve. A controller having control logic receives a system pressure and activates the electropneumatic valve. The control logic activates the electropneumatic valve to provide a pneumatic control signal to the air flow valve to partially close the delivery line in response to the system pressure being greater than a first predetermined pressure.
