Magnetic levitation chiller technology.

Author(s) : NIGAM S.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

Magnetic bearing technology has successfully been in use for over 70 years. The first magnetic bearing technology patents were issued in the 1940s to a University of Virginia professor who was developing the technology for use in ultracentrifuges. Since then, magnetic bearing technology has been implemented in many products such as industrial machinery, maglev trains, and even artificial hearts. The magnetic bearing system levitates the compressor shaft, and the shaft practically rotates in air. Having no surface contact, no friction in magnetic bearing systems, leads to infinite life of the bearing with no wear and tear.
