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

该项目旨在为供暖、通风和空调（HVAC）系统开发一种环境和战略上可持续的高速驱动系统。设计并实验验证了一种新型无稀土高速电动机（70k rpm）。这些成果将有助于缓解HVAC和其他行业面临的潜在稀土危机，大幅减少其驱动系统中使用的稀土永磁体。该设计还将使康利科技的暖通空调产品能够使用对全球变暖影响极低的绿色制冷剂，并提高其系统效率。该项目的成功将有助于重振澳大利亚高端暖通空调和电机产品的先进制造业。

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.
