Abstract: A mica tape comprising mica foil (12), glass cloth (14) and inorganic filler (16) disposed on the glass cloth, the mica tape wound in multiple layers round a circumference of conductor portion of rotary electric coil to thereby form insulating layers, wherein as the inorganic filler (16), use is made of an inorganic filler whose Mohs hardness is in the range of 1 to 7 and whose thermal conductivity is superior to those of mica foil (12) and glass cloth (14). By virtue of the addition and use of inorganic filler with excellent thermal conductance and with Mohs hardness equivalent to or lower than that of the glass cloth of mica tape employed, even when the tape is wound round a conductor portion under application of given tension, the inorganic filler would not injure the glass fiber as a base material of mica tape. Accordingly, there can be formed insulating layers free from any breakage of mica tape and capable of maximum exertion of high thermal conductance possessed by the inorganic filler.

Title: System and method of determining centrifugal turbomachinery remaining life
Inventor: MAYS HAROLD H
IPC: F04D15/00
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A centrifugal turbomachine includes an impeller and a speed sensor arranged to detect a speed associated with an impeller speed. A temperature sensor is arranged to detect a temperature associated with an impeller exit temperature.  A controls system has impeller parameters, which includes the impeller speed and exit temperature. A calculation methodology is used to mathematically manipulate the impeller parameters to determine a remaining life of the impeller. A program response, such as a warning indication, is triggered by the control system in response to the remaining life reaching a threshold. The controls system monitors the speed and temperature of the impeller. The controls system intervally calculates the remaining life based upon the speed and the temperature. In one example, a change in remaining life is calculated in response to a change in speed that results in an impeller stress that exceeds an endurance strength for the impeller.
