| 20120117790 | Insertion System and Method to Insert Insulators and Coils in the Slots of the Stator of an Electric Machine - The insertion of electrically insulating paper from a continuous roll into slots of a stator created by outwardly projecting teeth is described herein. The insertion of the insulating paper is done by the insertion of prewound coils in the stator slots. The electrically insulating paper is not cut prior to its insertion in the slots, thereby completely covering the outer surface of the stator. The insertion systems and methods described herein are also optionally concerned with the insertion of interphase insulation paper between the different coils inserted in the stator slots and with the insertion of slot closing wedges. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20110278968 | Multi-Path Liquid Cooling Arrangement for Electric Machines - A multi-path liquid cooling arrangement for electric machines comprising a heat storing element provided with channels having a generally C-shaped cross-section and cooling tubes so configured and sized as to be insertable in the channels is described herein. The cooling tubes, once inserted in the channels are deformed to conform thereto, whereby heat stored in the heat storing element is extracted by circulating cooling fluid inside the cooling tubes. | 11-17-2011 |
