In an electric motor-driven oil pump assembly for use with an engine in a vehicle, such as with an automatic engine-stop system in which an electric motor-driven oil pump is driven by an electric motor for hydraulic pressure supply to a transmission or engine of an automotive vehicle, at least in a stopped state of a mechanical oil pump driven by the engine, a controller for operating the motor for controlling the oil pump is provided in a housing proximal the flowing oil fluid such that the flowing oil fluid maintains the temperature of the controller below a predetermined temperature to avoid failure of the electronic components of the controller.

A system and apparatus for a ceiling fan electronics assembly including a housing with an interior for housing an electrical system. The electrical system can provide a supply of power to the ceiling fan as well as interpret electrical instruction signals for controlling the operation of the ceiling fan.

The disclosure relates to an electric blower apparatus having a blower spiral and a fan wheel rotating in the blower spiral. For driving the fan wheel, an electric motor is disposed on an axial end face of the blower spiral, the drive shaft of the electric motor protruding through a shaft opening in the axial end face and into the blower spiral and being connected to the fan wheel. Configured in the axial end face of the blower spiral is a cooling air opening by way of which a cooling air flow that flows about the electric motor is routed. To guarantee sufficient cooling of the driving electric motor at a minimal consumption of electric energy, it is provided that the cooling air opening is disposed in a pressure region of the blower spiral such that the cooling air flow to the electric motor is a pressurized air flow.

A fan has an external rotor motor with a motor section and an electronics section. The motor section and the electronics section are arranged axially adjacent to each other along the axis of rotation. The fan, when operated as intended, generates, via the fan wheel, a pressure difference between its suction side, which is preferably associated with the rotor, and its pressure side, which is preferably associated with the motor electronics. A continuous cooling duct runs within the external rotor motor from a pressure-side inflow opening, at least along sections of the rotor, to a suction-side outflow opening. An exclusively passive cooling air flow through the cooling duct can be generated in operation by the pressure difference generated by the fan wheel.

The present invention relates to a closed loop subsea cooling system with a subsea cooler. A coolant pump assembly is located in a dedicated, sealed, gas filled, coolant pump housing in coolant fluid connection with the at least one subsea cooler. A heat sink in a dedicated sealed, gas filled, electronics housing is in coolant fluid connection with the subsea cooler. An accumulator is in coolant fluid connection with the subsea cooler, whereby the electric coolant pump is adapted to pump coolant through the at least one subsea cooler, the at least one heat sink and back to the at least one electric coolant pump assembly, forming a closed loop subsea cooling circuit.

A fluid pump includes a pump element in communication with an inlet and an outlet. Rotation of the pump element generates a suction at the inlet and pressure at the outlet. The suction and pressure cooperate to move a fluid through a fluid path. An accessory fluid path is in communication with the inlet and outlet. The accessory fluid path includes a thermistor in communication with the accessory fluid path. The thermistor monitors a temperature of the fluid within the accessory fluid path.

A fluid compressor device includes a housing and a rotating group supported for rotation within the housing about an axis. The device also includes a compressor stage including a compressor wheel of the rotating group that is supported on a shaft of the rotating group. The device also includes an e-machine stage including an e-machine that is operably coupled to the shaft and that is configured to operate as at least one of a motor and a generator. Additionally, the device includes an integrated controller that extends at least partly over the e-machine stage in a circumferential direction about the axis. The integrated controller includes a coolant core that receives a flow of a coolant therethrough for cooling the integrated controller. The coolant core extends over the e-machine stage in a circumferential direction about the axis.

In a two-stage supercharging electric-assist turbocharger, a first compressor wheel, a rotor of an electric motor, a second compressor wheel, and a turbine wheel are coaxially coupled to a same, common shaft member, in that order. A compressor housing is structured to define therein a communicating passage to accommodate the electric motor in the communicating passage. A first water jacket is formed in at least one rib integrally formed with an outer periphery of a motor housing and also serving as a radiating fin, for forced-cooling air flowing through the communicating passage. A second water jacket is formed in a motor housing for forced-cooling a stator of the electric motor. A third water jacket is formed in an intermediate housing constructing a part of the compressor housing for forced-cooling a control unit configured to control the electric motor.

A submersible pump and related methods are disclosed herein. The pump assembly includes a pump housing and a motor with a motor housing/cap and an output shaft connected to an impeller that is disposed in a volute. In some forms, a separate power circuit compartment is formed integral to one of the pump housing and/or volute to store power circuitry that allows a DC pump to be used and powered by AC voltage. In other forms, the power circuit compartment is formed separate from the pump assembly and fastened or connect to the pump assembly. In preferred forms, the power circuit compartment is positioned relative to the pump assembly at a point where it will be maintained at least partially within the fluid surrounding the pump to dissipate heat from the power circuit. Numerous methods are also disclosed and contemplated herein.

An object of the present invention is to improve, using a simple configuration, heat dissipation of a regenerative resistor that is disposed in a vacuum pump control device (controller) connected to a vacuum pump. The regenerative resistor disposed in the vacuum pump control device is stored in an aluminum die-cast casing. More concretely, a housing of the vacuum pump control device is prepared by aluminum die casting (metal mold casting). A regenerative resistor storing portion (aluminum die-cast casing) provided with a hollow portion is provided on a top panel of the aluminum die cast, the hollow portion being designed to have a size accommodating the entire regenerative resistor. The regenerative resistor is fitted into the hollow portion, and an opening section of the hollow portion is sealed with an aluminum sheet of the same material as that of the casing. In this manner, the regenerative resistor can removably be stored in the aluminum die-cast casing.
