Driving motors for air-cycle.

Author(s) : MCCLELLAND M. L.

Summary

A suitable driving motor for the high speed compressor used in a modern air-cycle refrigeration system must itself be capable of very high speeds, be compact, reliable and easily controllable. The author discusses various motor types, culminating with the switched reluctance motor which appears to have advantages. These are robust construction, no rotor windings to be contained at speed, an ability to operate with one phase inoperative and a form of electronic converter which offers a cheaper and probably more compact device than the normal inverter. Also the losses are associated entirely with stator windings which makes cooling more simple. D.W.H.
