SwRI creates linear motor-driven reciprocating hydrogen compressor for FCEV refueling stations

Green Car Congress

The advanced compression system utilizes a novel concept of driving a permanent magnet piston inside a hermetically-sealed compressor cylinder through electromagnetic windings. Unlike most hydrogen compressors, the LMRC is hermetically sealed and is driven by a linear motor that allows increased compression efficiency. Broerman et al.

Eaton offering specialized high-power lock box power connectors for vehicles

Green Car Congress

Eaton recommends use of sealed connection systems to meet reliability and durability requirements. Additionally, we’ve designed our HPLB terminal system for high-current and high-temperature applications, up to 500 amps and 125 degrees Celsius, respectively. Corrosion can mitigate the power flow, leading to system failure.

Audi trials new digital sealing process at Gy?r paint shop

Green Car Congress

r, Hungary, Audi is testing a new method of body sealing. Before a car is given its paint finish, a paste-like sealing material is applied to areas such as the weld seams. This improves vehicle acoustics, guards against corrosion and seals off the interior. The new, automated process is known as digital sealing.

ZF develops compact, competitive magnet-free electric motor: In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor

Green Car Congress

To ensure that the magnetic field in the rotor is built up by current instead of magnets, the conventional SESM concepts currently still require sliding or brush elements in most cases, which force compromises: A dry installation space, i.e. not accessible for oil cooling and with additional seals, is necessary.
