A coated component may have a consumable coating that protects the component from dust. A coated component may include a silicon containing substrate defining a substrate surface, a barrier coating on the substrate surface, with the barrier coating defining a barrier surface, and a consumable coating on the barrier surface. The consumable coating may include a ceramic oxide that includes a silicate. A component, such as a component of a turbomachine, may be protected from dust by applying a consumable coating on the component.

Consumable coatings and methods of protecting a high temperature component from dust deposits

A method of forming a coating on a component of an electrical machine is presented. The method includes coating a surface of the component with a ceramic material, via an electrophoretic process, to form a first coating. The method further includes contacting the first coating deposited by the electrophoretic process with a polymeric material to form a second coating. The method furthermore includes curing or melting the polymeric material in the second coating to form the coating including the ceramic material dispersed in a polymer matrix.

Methods of depositing coatings on electrical machine components

A heat pump is provided that uses multiple stages of MCMs to cause heat transfer between a heat receiving end and a heat transmitting end. Thermal blocks are placed along the direction of heat transfer at locations in the heat pump that preclude the transfer of heat in a direction from the heat transmitting end towards the heat receiving end. The heat pump can be, for example, part of a refrigeration loop or can be connected directly with the object for which heating or cooling is desired. An appliance incorporating such a heat pump is also provided.
