Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A dynamoelectric machine comprising: a rotor member having electrical coils disposed thereon about a plurality of poles, said coils having portions disposed in intersecting, longitudinal and circumferential slots formed in said rotor, said circumferential slots being situated on both axial ends of said rotor; means for liquidly cooling said electrical coils, said liquid cooling means comprising: coolant openings in said coils for passing coolant therethrough; coolant distribution and discharge chambers disposed at opposite axial ends of said rotor; and a plurality of conduits extending from said chambers to said coolant openings for transmitting coolant therethrough, said conduits each having a first portion disposed in said longitudinal slots, said first conduit portions axially traversing said coil portions disposed in said circumferential slots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A dynamoelectric machine comprising: a rotor member having electrical coils disposed thereon about a plurality of poles, said coils having portions disposed in intersecting, longitudinal and circumferential slots formed in said rotor, said circumferential slots being situated on both axial ends of said rotor; means for liquidly cooling said electrical coils, said liquid cooling means comprising: coolant openings in said coils for passing coolant therethrough; coolant distribution and discharge chambers disposed at opposite axial ends of said rotor; and a plurality of conduits extending from said chambers to said coolant openings for transmitting coolant therethrough, said conduits each having a first portion disposed in said longitudinal slots, said first conduit portions axially traversing said coil portions disposed in said circumferential slots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1, further comprising: means for electrically insulating said coils from said chambers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1 wherein said first conduit portions are disposed radially outside said circumferentially disposed coil portions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 3, further comprising: a plurality of rigid channel members for housing said conduits' first portions to prevent deformation thereof by said underlying coils during rotor rotation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1 wherein said first conduit portions are disposed radially inside said circumferential slot disposed coil portions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 5, further comprising: a plurality of rigid channel members for housing said first conduit portions to prevent deformation thereof during rotor rotation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1 wherein second portions of said conduits are disposed in said circumferential slots.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 7 wherein said second conduit portions are disposed radially outside said circumferential coil portions.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1 further comprising: said conduits having a second portion cooperatively configured with said first portion to form an angle therebetween of 90° or less.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1, further comprising: means for regulating coolant flow through the conduits to provide a substantially uniform temperature in said coils.
