| dc.description.abstract | We present the results obtained from the thermal and efficiency analysis of a single phase
induction motor with Peltier devices. A single phase induction motor is completely simulated in
SolidWorks® and Matlab® Simulink®. The cooling of the induction motor is done by means of
Peltier devices and the corresponding power consumption and stator temperature is recorded.
From the SolidWorks® simulation results it can be seen that the temperature of the induction motor
under normal operating conditions is cooled from 68°C to 35°C. From the Matlab® Simulink®
simulation results show that the efficiency of the induction motor is increased by an average of
3.73% from the normal operating condition to the cooled operating condition with the inclusion of
the Peltier devices onto the system | en_US |
