Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NZ93/00072 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 20, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 20, 1995 PCT Filed May 3, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO94/05073 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 3, 1994An electric motor is suitable for use in, for example, a home appliance, such as a refrigerator/freezer, to drive a fan blade. The electric motor includes a permanent magnet rotor and an excited two part laminated stator. The two parts of the stator are adapted to be connected together about the rotor with the axis of the rotor in the plane of the laminations. The rotor has two axially separated pole regions and the stator is configured to provide a separate rotor receiving pole pair for each rotor pole region. Each stator pole pair provides a rotor receiving space within which respective rotor pole regions are disposed, wherein the stator is made up of separate laminations of ferromagnetic material and adjacent laminations are displaced relative to each other in the plane of the laminations in directions perpendicular to the rotor axis such that the stator poles are each formed by a pair of semi-circular shaped poles to provide the rotor receiving spaces. The stator is constructed from a single piece, with a central portion of the piece being removed and the remaining unitary portion being juxtaposed to form a magnetic circuit having two circular rotor receiving spaces adapted to receive the rotor. A method of constructing the stator for the electric motor from a single piece of laminated magnetically permeable material is also disclosed.

Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel feeding apparatus and method for improving the controllability of mixing process and mixing ratio of fuel and combustion air, and a combustion system and method for effecting new combustion properties. The fuel feeding apparatus of the combustion system has fuel feeding means, combustion gas extraction means, steam supply means, mixing means and fuel gas introduction means. The combustion gas extraction means extracts combustion gas of a combustion area therefrom. The mixing means mixes the fuel of fuel feeding means with at least one of combustion gas extracted from the furnace and steam of a steam generator. The fuel gas introduction means introduces a mixed fluid of combustion gas, steam and fuel to the combustion area as a fuel gas, and allows the fuel gas to be mixed with the combustion air. A step of mixing the fuel with the combustion gas after extracted from the furnace and a step of mixing the fuel gas with the combustion air are stepwisely carried out, so that the controllability of mixing process and ratio of the air and fuel is improved. Such a control of fuel gas flow enables control of characteristics of flame and production of flame with new properties in the combustion area. <IMAGE>
