Development of Variable Speed, Low Cost, High Efficiency, Integrated Electronic Motor for Use in Residential HVAC Systems (Final Report, October 2001-September 2004).

DE2006841074

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Toman, D. A.

Abstract	Currently only 5% of residential HVAC systems are sold with variable speed (VS) circulating blower motors in spite of the significant energy savings and comfort benefits associated with variable speed motors. This is due to the very high cost of variable speed motors currently on the market. The project goal is to develop a version of the DynaMotor TM (Trade Name) variable speed motor for use in residential HVAC systems. The motor will have performance similar to existing VS motors used in HVAC systems but will sell to HVAC OEM's for 40-50% less than existing VS motors thus bringing energy saving VS motor technology to middle tier HVAC systems. The DynaMotor is a unique, patented variable speed motor/drive technology that has significant advantages over other VS motor/drive technologies including low cost. Prior to this project development was focused exclusively on the factory automation market.
