Abstract

Abstract A submersible motor having a housing filled with a liquid dielectric. Disposed in said housing are the motor's stator and rotor. The motor is provided with a hydraulic protection system, which system comprises two chambers communicating with each other by means of a pipe disposed inside the motor housing. One of said chambers is arranged above the motor, adjacent to the end face thereof, and is filled with a liquid having a specific weight greater than that of the liquid media inside and around the motor and unmixable with said media, whereas the second chamber is arranged below the motor and filled with the same liquid dielectric as the motor housing, said second chamber communicating with the motor housing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 214 words
A submersible motor for immersion in a surrounding medium comprising, in combination, a housing having a cavity, a motor disposed in said housing cavity, said motor including a rotor and a stator in surrounding relationship with said rotor, a first chamber in the upper portion of said housing adjacent the upper end face of said motor in sealed relationship with said housing cavity, said first chamber being provided with an opening at the upper portion thereof for communication with the surrounding medium, a second chamber in the lower portion of said housing adjacent the lower end face of said motor and communicating with said housing cavity, a liquid dielectric in said housing cavity and in the upper portion of said second chamber, conduit means within the interior of said housing communicating at opposite ends with said first and second chambers respectively and a liquid in said first chamber, said conduit means and the lower portion of said second chamber in intimate contact with the liquid dielectric in the upper portion of said second chamber, said liquid having a specific weight greater than that of and unmixable with the liquid dielectric and the surrounding medium for pressurizing said liquid dielectric in said cavity to prevent the penetration of the surrounding medium into said housing cavity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 214 words
A submersible motor for immersion in a surrounding medium comprising, in combination, a housing having a cavity, a motor disposed in said housing cavity, said motor including a rotor and a stator in surrounding relationship with said rotor, a first chamber in the upper portion of said housing adjacent the upper end face of said motor in sealed relationship with said housing cavity, said first chamber being provided with an opening at the upper portion thereof for communication with the surrounding medium, a second chamber in the lower portion of said housing adjacent the lower end face of said motor and communicating with said housing cavity, a liquid dielectric in said housing cavity and in the upper portion of said second chamber, conduit means within the interior of said housing communicating at opposite ends with said first and second chambers respectively and a liquid in said first chamber, said conduit means and the lower portion of said second chamber in intimate contact with the liquid dielectric in the upper portion of said second chamber, said liquid having a specific weight greater than that of and unmixable with the liquid dielectric and the surrounding medium for pressurizing said liquid dielectric in said cavity to prevent the penetration of the surrounding medium into said housing cavity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 50 words
A submersible motor in accordance with claim 1 wherein said housing is of tubular shape and wherein said first chamber comprises an axial portion of said tubular shaped housing and wherein said first chamber is provided with an opening at the upper portion thereof for communication with the surrounding medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
A submersible motor in accordance with claim 1 wherein said conduit means comprises a pipe and wherein said stator is provided with an axial bore and wherein said pipe is disposed within said stator axial bore.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
A submersible motor in accordance with claim 1 wherein said conduit means comprises a pipe and wherein said stator is provided with a core slot and wherein said pipe is disposed within said stator core slot.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 54 words
A submersible motor in accordance with claim 1 wherein said motor includes a shaft and wherein said conduit means comprises an axial bore in said motor shaft and including radially extending conduit means for communicating the opposite ends of said shaft axial bore with the respective bottom portions of said first and second chambers.
