20090196764HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRIC-DRIVE WITH MULTI-POLE MOTOR FOR GAS PIPELINE AND STORAGE COMPRESSION APPLICATIONS - An integrated electric-drive compressor system utilizes a high frequency drive for powering the multi-pole pair motor. The electric motor and compressor are housed in a common pressure casing. The electric motor has added permanent magnets for achieving higher ratings and higher speeds.08-06-2009
20090295239HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT OF VENTILATION CHIMNEYS FOR DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE ROTORS - A cooling gas ventilation chimney is provided for an end region of a dynamoelectric machine having a rotor. A plurality of radial slots are provided in the rotor, and a plurality of coils are seated in the radial slots. The coils form radially stacked turns. The ventilation chimney includes one or more chimney slots that are defined in at least a portion of the radially stacked turns. The chimney slots extend in a substantially radial direction to the rotor, and at least a portion of a surface of the chimney slots is turbulated so as to have a roughened surface profile for enhanced heat transfer.12-03-2009
20100096937HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT OF DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE ROTORS - A rotor is provided for a dynamoelectric machine having one or more windings. The windings have one or more turns, and the turns have one or more outlet ducts that are located near a chimney. When the outlet ducts are stacked one on top of another, they form substantially radially oriented passages. The heat transfer performance of a portion of the rotor can be improved by locating two or more circumferentially spaced radial ducts near the chimney. A chimney can also be formed of one or more chimney slots defined in at least a portion of the turns, where one or more chimney slots extend in a substantially slanted direction to a radial direction of the rotor. A transition region of the rotor can also include one or more diagonal flow channels, which discharge into one or more chimneys.04-22-2010

20090309431 APPARATUS FOR USING AN ELECTRICAL MACHINE TO TRANSPORT FLUIDS THROUGH A PIPELINE - A stator for an electrical machine includes teeth assembled from a plurality of stacked laminations mounted on a cylindrical protective surface thereby forming a plurality of slots. The stator also includes an armature winding assembled within the teeth by inserting components of the armature winding into the plurality of stator slots from positions external to the teeth in a manner that facilitates mitigating potential for coil distortion. The armature winding includes a plurality of coils that each include an end winding. The stator further includes a segmented yoke inserted around the armature winding in a manner that facilitates mitigating a potential for disturbing the end winding of the coils. Independently assembling the stator components in this manner facilitates varying a thickness and/or the number of heat conducting laminations between the yoke and teeth that subsequently facilitates heat transfer from the armature winding to an outer pressure casing of the machine.12-17-2009
20110018483STATOR END-WINDING COMPONENT MONITORING SYSTEM - A stator comprises stator end-winding components and a sensing cable. The sensing cable comprises two fixation points secured to two of the end-winding components, and sensors to measure a relative displacement between two or more of the stator end-winding components.01-27-2011

20090009012ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR MAGNETIZATION OF PERMANENT MAGNET ROTORS IN ELECTRICAL MACHINES - A magnetizer for a rotor of an electrical machine is provided. The magnetizer includes a magnetizing yoke and coils wound around the magnetizing yoke. The magnetizing yoke includes multiple pole-pieces extending therefrom, and at least some of the pole-pieces include a cobalt alloy.01-08-2009
20090133494METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BALANCING A ROTOR - A midlength balanced rotor comprises a rotor assembly for rotation about an axis of rotation defining at least one of an axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole; an array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets; and a series of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots. At least one balance weight is positioned within at least one of the axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole, the array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets, or the radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots to balance the rotor assembly. Alternatively, at least one balance correcting mass is removed from at least one of the axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole, the array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets, or the radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots to balance the rotor assembly. In addition, a method of midlength balancing a rotor comprises the steps of providing a rotor assembly with at least one of an axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole; an array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets; and a series of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots; rotating the rotor shaft about an axis of rotation; determining unbalance of the rotor shaft; and adding or removing weight to at least one of said an axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole; array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets; or series of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots, to balance the rotor shaft.05-28-2009
20100019591HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT OF VENTILATION CHIMNEYS FOR DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE ROTORS - A cooling gas ventilation chimney is provided for enhancing the heat transfer of an end region of a dynamoelectric machine. The dynamoelectric machine includes a rotor having a plurality of radial slots. A plurality of coils are seated in the radial slots, and the coils form a plurality of radially stacked turns. The ventilation chimney includes one or more chimney slots defined in at least a portion of the radially stacked turns. The chimney slots extend in a substantially radial direction to the rotor, and some of the chimney slots have an axial or circumferential length different from other chimney slots.01-28-2010
20110162199PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR INSTALLATION SYSTEMS - Embodiments of the invention relate generally to rotor installation systems and, more particularly, to permanent magnet rotor installation systems, including those having an in situ magnetizer or magnet insertion device. In one embodiment, the invention provides a rotor installation system comprising: at least one magnetizer for permanently magnetizing a ferromagnetic material; and an arbor for receiving a rotor having at least one portion including a ferromagnetic material, wherein the at least one magnetizer is positioned relative to the arbor to allow permanent magnetization of the ferromagnetic material.07-07-2011
