Abstract
A hybrid welder having a motor-driven welder assembly including a motor; an energy storage device electrically connected to the motor-driven assembly; a heat transfer assembly, the heat transfer assembly being in thermal communication with the motor and the energy storage device, wherein the heat transfer assembly is selectively adaptive to transfer heat from the motor to the energy storage device.
Claims19
A hybrid welder comprising:
- a motor-driven welder assembly including a motor;
- an energy storage device electrically connected to the motor-driven assembly;
- a heat transfer assembly, the heat transfer assembly being in thermal communication with the motor and the energy storage device, wherein the heat transfer assembly is selectively adapted to transfer heat from the motor to the energy storage device.
A hybrid welder comprising:
- a housing defining a first compartment and a second compartment separated by a divider;
- the motor-driven welding assembly housed within the first compartment;
- a energy storage device housed within the second compartment;
- wherein the divider includes a valve therein, the valve includes an open position permitting fluid from the first compartment to flow to the second compartment;
- and a fan in fluid communication with second compartment;
- and
- a controller connected to a sensor in the second compartment and connected to the valve, wherein the controller selectively opens the valve based on feedback from the sensor.
