Improving Electric Motor Cooling System Efficiency using Passage CFD Software

 

PASSAGE software can be used by engineers as a design tool to better understand thermal design performance issues of an electric motor and  identify solutions using a more systematic approach than experimental testing methods.

Some objectives of using a CFD software like Passage are:
  • Improve cooling performance of the motor by reducing temperatures to an acceptable range and ensure motor durability.
  • Establish a heat transfer model of the motor to study its thermal performance.
  • Validate analysis results with available information.
  • Understand the effect of design parameters on product performance.
  • Identify design parameters with a major impact on motor cooling.
  • Set a target for heat transfer coefficients to reduce motor temperatures.
  • Complement the capabilities of engineers in designing better pump motors through a more complete understanding of the heat transfer mechanism.
  • Provide a methodology to evaluate design alternatives.
