85results about How to "Improve startup reliability" patented technology

An air conditioner has a variable capacity rotary compressor, which allows the compressor to be smoothly re-started, thus increasing start reliability of the compressor. The air conditioner includes a compressor rotated in opposite directions. A drive unit rotates the compressor in a forward or reverse direction. A start determining unit determines whether the compressor has started to rotate in a forward direction or not. A control unit operates the drive unit so as to rotate the compressor in a direction opposite to the forward direction, and then re-start the compressor in the forward direction, when the compressor has failed to start. The air conditioner and a method of controlling the air conditioner allow the compressor to be smoothly and rapidly re-started even when the compressor has failed to re-start, thus increasing start reliability, and shortening a time required to re-start the compressor.

The invention relates to a single-phase motor. The motor comprises a stator and a rotor, the stator comprises a stator magnetic core and a winding, the stator magnetic core comprises an external yoke portion and stator teeth, each stator tooth comprises a winding portion and a pole shoe connected to one end of the winding portion, and the winding is wound around the corresponding winding portion. The rotor includes a rotor core and permanent magnets. The permanent magnets are embedded in the rotor core and evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotor core. Each permanent magnet is of a stripe-shaped asymmetric structure, and cross-sectional areas at both ends of each permanent magnet are not equal. Thus, the initial position of the rotor is able to avoid a dead point position, and start-up of the motor is stable. The present invention also provides the rotor of the single-phase motor.

A method and a device are for the optimized starting of an internal combustion engine using a starter, which is connected to a capacitor store, the capacitor store being connected via a DC / DC converter to a vehicle electrical system of a vehicle, and the vehicle electrical system including an energy store for supplying electrical energy having a nominal voltage, and the starter consuming a starting energy for starting the internal combustion engine, which is a function of a temperature of the internal combustion engine, the temperature of the internal combustion engine being measured by at least one temperature sensor and the capacitor store being charged to a setpoint voltage with the aid of a battery via another DC / DC converter, which connects the battery in parallel to the capacitor store parallel to a switch, the setpoint voltage being set by a control unit such that the electrical energy stored in the capacitor store charged to the setpoint voltage is greater than the starting energy ascertained on the basis of the measured temperature.

A method and apparatus for achieving reliability in starting V-Twin chain or belt-driven motorcycle engines using a conventional motorcycle battery and specially modified automotive cranking motor. The apparatus in its preferred embodiment utilizes a direct drive cranking motor configuration employing a cammed bearing clutch which is placed onto the engine's crankshaft along with a ring gear. The ring gear engages the geared shaft of the cranking motor directly, thereby bypassing the chain or belt-drive and thus effectively removing the main drive chain or belt from the cranking system. The gear ratio between the cranking motor and the ring gear may thus be selected to be optimum for the cranking motor so that the battery and cranking motor may be operated at near optimum power capabilities simultaneously. The method of the invention relates to converting from a remote cranking motor configuration to a direct drive cranking motor configuration to remedy the deficiencies of existing V-Twin chain or belt-driven motorcycle engines.

An oxygen-generating candle, comprising an absorption flammable layer, a heat generating layer and a main candle body layer; the heat generating layer is provided between the absorption flammable layer and the main body layer; according to mass percentage, the main body layer is made of 90% to 96% chlorate, 1.5% to 5% catalyst, 0 to 3% fuel, 1.5% to 2.5% binder and 0.5% to 1.5% stabilizer; the heat generating layer is made of 70% to 80% chlorate, 5% to 15% catalyst, 5% to 12% fuel and 3.0% to 6.0% binder; the absorption flammable layer is made of 5% to 15% fuel, 80% to 90% strontium chromate, 3% to 5% binder and 0 to 1% chlorate; the catalyst is a combination of two or more from among cobalt oxide, manganese dioxide and titanium oxide; the amount of catalyst in the main candle body layer is 4-5 times greater than the amount of the catalyst of the heating layer; the fuel comprises one or more from among magnesium powder, titanium powder, cobalt powder, and zirconium powder. Due to the adjustment of the type and proportion of the catalyst, the decomposition temperature of the oxidizing agent chlorate is lowered and the demand for an active metal of the flammable layer is lowered; in addition, the addition of a flame retardant may control the rate of energy release of the active metal.
