In automobile, the introduction of electronically commutated motors has been accompanied by a proliferation of electronic devices. With this proliferation of electronic devices, an emphasis has been placed on EMC issues. This paper is proposed to use SRM as a radiator cooling fan in automotive applications. To drive SRM, Energy efficient C-dump converter is applied. It is verified more efficient than other converters through simulation and experiments. And also SRM is valid automotive applications that have strict EMC standards. It is compared SRM with BLDC and DC motor by experiments.

대형 전동기의 주요 소음원은 전자기 소음과 냉각/통풍 시스템 소음이며, 이 중 냉각/통풍 시스템이 전체 소음에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 대형 전동기의 저소음 냉각/통풍 시스템 개발을 위해 저소음 냉각 팬을 개발하고 팬 커버 내부의 유로를 개선하였다. 유동해석은 상용 CFD 소프트웨어를 이용하였으며 팬 커버 내의 scroll 형상 및 air guide, baffle 의 유무에 따라 팬 커버의 압력손실을 계산하였다. 해석을 통해 팬 커버 내부의 난류 유동과 압력손실이 가장 작은 팬 커버 형상을 도출하였으며 개선된 냉각/통풍 시스템이 기존 냉각/통풍 시스템보다 6.5dB 감소된 것을 확인하였다.

현재의 세계 자동차 시장은 석유 자원의 고갈과 전자화로 높은 연비의 기술적 성숙을 요구하고 있으며, 이는 미래 자동차 기술의 전동화를 가속시키고 있음에 따라 종래 엔진부하로 사용되는 시스템 및 유압시스템의 전동화 기술추이가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이중 엔진 부하 메커니즘의 하나인 엔진 쿨링 팬 분야는 소비용량이 크고, 고 연비증감 기술증진의 전동화에 따른 차량 성능개선의 효과가 높아 실용 전동화 용의성에 의해 새로운 최우선 차량 전동부하로 나타나고 있다. 특히, 대형 차량(버스, 트럭)의 엔진 Cooling Fan 시스템은 차량 연비저감의 주요원 중에 하나로 대두되고 있으며, 도시 소음의 주된 요인이 되고 있어 전동화 기술개발의 필요성이 매우 높다. 전동 Cooling Fan 시스템은 종래 엔진 구동형 시스템에 비하여 엔진부하를 감소시킬 수 있고, 차량 연비향상 및 유해배출 가스를 저감시킴으로 기술적, 환경적 개발효과가 매우 높다. 본 연구에서는 쿨링팬 고출력 BLDC모터 설계제작에 관한 내용과, 최적 팬 블레이드 설계제작, 마지막으로 개발 전동 쿨링팬 성능평가에 관한 내용이 포함되어 있다.

Aerodynamic performance of a cooling fan of driving motor was enhanced modifying the vane-shroud configuration. Performance of a target model was evaluated to obtain baseline data. The aerodynamic performance and sound pressure level were tested and measured with different numbers of vane of increased length. The tested models show high and stable performance and low values of specific noise level. The long vane-shroud structure induces more stable through flow and decreases the tip leakage flow, which contributes to the increases of performance and efficiency. The sound pressure level increases for the modified model, however, specific noise level decreases.

Overheating in electrical motors results in detrimental effects such as degradation of the insulation materials, demagnetization of magnets, increases in Joule losses, and decreases in motor efficiency and lifetime. Thus, it is important to find ways to dissipate heat from the motor and to keep the motor operating at its most efficient temperature. In this study, a new design to guide air flow through a given brushless direct current (BLDC) motor is developed and the design is analyzed, specifically by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results showed that the temperature distribution in the three proposed models is lower than that in the original model, although the speed of the cooling fan in the original model reaches a very high value of $15{\times}10^3$ rpm. The results also showed that CFD can be effectively used to simulate the heat transfer of BLDC motors.

Reliability of automotive parts has been one of the most interesting fields in the automotive industry. Especially, a small DC motor was issued because of the increasing adoption for passengers' safety and convenience. For several years, small DC motors have been studied and some problems of a life test method were found out. The field condition was not considered enough in the old life test method. It also needed a lot of test time. For precise life estimation and accelerated life test, new life test procedure was developed based on measured field condition. The vibration condition on vehicle and latent force on fan motor shaft were measured and correlated with each other. We converted the acceleration data into the load data and calculated the equivalent load from integrated value. We found the relationship which can be used for accelerated life test without changing the severity by using different loading factors.

This paper describes the quick and precise controlling method for home-applied refrigerator. The proposed controller is based on the fuzzy logic control method and is designed for better performance in maintaining the constant temperature of the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by the cooling air blowing fan motor which is put on, off according to fuzzy logic controller. Finally, I study the performance of the proposed controller through the computer simulation about the approximated model of the refrigerator.

A numerical study on the IPM/Bridge Diode cooling and coil cooling has been performed. Results are presented as plots of thermal resistance, temperature drop and RPM-ratio. CFD analysis for conventional cooling system has been performed as a reference case. As the RPM-Ratio was increased, heatsink thermal resistance and coil temperature were decreased. IPM/Bridge Diode thermal resistance and temperature of the coil is tended to be trade-off. The temperature of coil closest to the AC-motor fan showed the most significant change in accordance with duct design. The temperature of coil located at the top of DC-motor fan showed the most significant variation as the cooling air passes the heatsink fin area.
