An electric motor includes a rotor, a stator, and a connection switching unit. The stator includes a stator core including 6×n (n is an integer equal to or larger than 1) slots, and three-phase coils forming 2×n magnetic poles. The connection switching unit switches a connection state of the three-phase coils between a first connection state and a second connection state. The three-phase coils include 2×n U-phase coils, 2×n V-phase coils, and 2×n W-phase coils in a coil end. Each coil of the three-phase coils is disposed in two slots across one slot on one end side of the stator core.

A sealing system for a magnetic levitating centrifugal compressor, the magnetic levitating centrifugal compressor including a motor cavity and a motor shaft disposed within the motor cavity, an end of the motor shaft extends out from the motor cavity and is mounted with an impeller, the sealing system includes: a seal which is sleeved on the outer side of the motor shaft and is disposed between the impeller and the motor cavity; a first magnet which is fixed at the outer surface of the motor shaft; and a second magnet which is fixed at a side of the seal facing the motor shaft; the first magnet and the second magnet form a radial repulsive force in the radial direction of the motor shaft, so that the seal can be levitated in relative to the motor shaft and move therewith.

A compression system includes a compressor that compresses a synthesis gas to produce a compressed gas, a first line that supplies a first gas constituting the synthesis gas to the compressor, a second line that supplies a second gas constituting the synthesis gas to the first line, a discharge line that circulates the compressed gas, a recirculation line that recirculates a part of the compressed gas from the discharge line to the first line, a first regulating valve arranged in the first line, a second regulating valve arranged in the second line, a discharge valve arranged in the discharge line, a recirculation valve arranged in the recirculation line, and a valve control device that performs switching between the first regulating valve, the second regulating valve, the discharge valve, and the recirculation valve based on an operation condition of the compressor.

A modular fan cover assembly for inclusion on an electric motor is selectively configurable for degrees of reduced noise operation. The modular fan cover assembly includes a plurality of cooperating components arranged to direct fluid communication through the assembly. The components may include, for example, a fan cover defining a fan chamber for enclosing the fan, an inlet cover including an inlet chamber and a plurality of inlet apertures, and a silencing insert selectively includable with the fan cover assembly that may include one or more silencing features. The selective combination of the components can redirect airflow through various turns or bend in the modular fan cover assembly to trap or suppress noise propagating from the electric motor. The modular fan cover assembly may be operatively equipped with a blower assembly.

A blower unit can include an outer housing, an inlet subassembly, a fan subassembly, an outlet subassembly, and a grommet. The outer housing can have an aperture extend along a first axis between first and second ends. The inlet subassembly can be received in the first end of the aperture. The fan subassembly can be received in the aperture adjacent to the inlet subassembly and include at least one wire. The outlet subassembly can be received in the second end. The grommet can be positioned between at least part of the second end and the outlet subassembly. The at least one wire can extend through the grommet. The grommet can seal against the at least one wire. The grommet can seal between the outer housing and the outlet subassembly.

The invention relates to a method for producing a drive unit device, in particular a fan device, which has at least one first modular unit (12) and at least one second modular unit (16), which concentrically accommodates at least a portion of the first modular unit (12), with the first and second modular units (12, 16) being intended to contribute mechanically to a change in torque, and the first modular unit (12) being secured in the second modular unit (16) in at least one method step (100, 110). To increase safety and reduce process costs, it is proposed that the first modular unit (12) be secured in the second modular unit (16) by means of at least one concentric pressing process step.
