Hybrid A/C Compressors

!

!!!!Whether we make hybrid vane compressors, axial piston, or rotary piston compressors, they all stand to use less raw material, to be smaller in size, weigh less, reduce part count, to be easier to manufacture, more efficient to operate, and weigh less than other compressors. ! !!

Permanent magnet motors can be more efficient than induction motors. !Most motors have a large number of parts, including stator laminations with complex coil winding, and this attaches to the compressor. Compare that to powdered metal stators, coils wound on bobbins, and hybrid rotors and housings that are shared with the compressor. !!

The hybrid design can produce smaller, lighter, more efficient machines, which can be very important in applications like electric and hybrid electric vehicles. !!• Most parts can be manufactured using powdered metal, and

winding coils on bobbins is fast and efficient.

• Axial flux motors have increased power density and high torque, even at low speeds.

• Compressors can be synchronous, or three phase (line voltage or inverted DC). Speed can be variable or fixed.

• Use the same stator assemblies in different types of hybrid compressor; vane, axial piston, and radial piston.

• Use the same stator assemblies in other hybrid axial flux machines, like gear pumps, vane pumps, and much more.

The core of this platform technology.

A platform technology increases the ease of manufacture. Fewer parts/sub-assemblies need be designed, made, and kept in inventory, and assembly workers don't need so much training.
