Coating compositions are provided that eject droplets of condensed fluid from a surface. The coatings include a nanostructured coating layer and in some embodiments, also include a hydrophobic layer deposited thereon. The coating materials eject droplets from the surface in the presence of non-condensing gases such as air and may be deployed under conditions of supersaturation of the condensed fluid to be ejected. A heat exchanger design utilizing the coating is described herein.

A system is provided for manufacturing a stator assembly having a stator core including a plurality of slots along a circumference of the stator core and a plurality of hairpins inserted into the slots, where the system may include, an epoxy coating stage disposed forward along a travel direction of the stator assembly, and configured to coat the epoxy on end portions of leg portions of the hairpins, and a varnish impregnation stage disposed at a rear of the epoxy coating stage along the travel direction of the stator assembly, and configured to impregnate varnish into external surfaces of the plurality of hairpins and also into an interior of the slot by flowing on the plurality of hairpins.

This water-repellent, oil-repellent member is obtained via, inter alia, a method having: a step for wet-coating a substrate surface with a solution that contains a solvent and an organosilicon compound comprising multiple silanol groups in the molecule; a step for drying the solvent to form and laminate a primer layer on the substrate surface; a step for wet-coating the outer surface of the primer layer with a solution containing a hydrolyzable fluorine-containing compound and a solvent, and subsequently drying the solvent, or dry-coating the outer surface of the primer layer with a hydrolyzable fluorine-containing compound obtained by evaporating the solvent from the solution; and a step for curing the hydrolyzable fluorine-containing compound to form and laminate a water-repellent, oil-repellent layer on the outer surface of the primer layer. The water-repellent, oil-repellent member is obtained by providing, on various substrates: a primer layer of a specific thickness that contains, as a main component, an organosilicon compound having multiple silanol groups in the molecule; and, on the outer surface of the primer layer, a water-repellent, oil-repellent layer of a specific thickness that contains, as a main component, the cured hydrolyzable fluorine-containing compound. The water-repellent, oil-repellent member makes it possible for a water-repellent, oil-repellent coating exhibiting superior abrasion resistance and antistatic properties to be stably and straightforwardly formed on various substrates.

A method of manufacturing a jacketed metal line is detailed herein. The method of manufacturing a jacketed metal line can include roughening an outer surface of a metal core of the line. An insulating polymer layer can be applied to the metal core, and the insulating polymer layer can include a reinforcing additive comprising: graphite, carbon, glass, aramid, short-fiber filled PolyEtherEtherKetone, mircron-sized polytetrafluoroethylene, or combinations thereof. The roughened metal core can then be exposed a heat source for at least partially melting the polymer layer; and the partially melted polymer layer and insulated roughened metal core can be ran through a set of shaping rollers.
