A More Sustainable High-speed Drive System for Air Conditioning Systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project aims to develop an environmentally & strategically sustainable high-speed drive system for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. A novel rare-earth-less high-speed electric motor (70k rpm) will be designed and experimentally validated. The outcomes will help to mitigate the potential rare earth crisis faced by the HVAC and other industries by significantly reducing the rare earth permanent magnets used in their drive systems. The design will also enable Conry Tech's HVAC products to use greener refrigerants with extremely low impact on global warming and improve its system efficiency. This project's success will help revive advanced manufacturing of premium HVAC and electric motor products in Australia.
