The Design of Special Singlewinding Twospeed Motor for Contrarotating Axialflow Fan by MENG Dawei, YANG Xiaoni, LIU Jinhui, JING Chao

“…Aiming at the problems of the pressure rise and power imbalance and the problem of serious reduction of efficiency when the contrarotating axial flowfan deviates from the rated operating point,the twostage drive motor of the fan is studiedIn this paper, the single winding and double speed motor is designed to drive the impeller of the contrarotating axial flowfanAccording to motor winding theory, with the method of symmetry axis to design the 6/8 pole winding typeThe finite element simulation analysis simulation analysis of the double speed pole motor show that the twospeed motor has good performance in two kinds of polesThe fan can adjust the speed ratio of the impeller according to different working conditions, so as to keep the fan working in efficient operation areaIn addition, the design of single winding twospeed motor reduces the height of center and manufacturing costs by comparing the motor with the original fan…”
