| dc.description.abstract | In this paper, the authors present the impact of thermoelectric
cooling modules (TECMs) on the efficiency
of a single-phase asynchronous machine.
TECMs are used to lower the stator winding temperature
and core temperature of the single-phase
asynchronous machine. A similar effect might be
possible by operating the asynchronous machine in
a controlled lower temperature environment or by
using other means of improved controlled cooling.
An overview on the materials and method used during
the experimental setup of the single-phase asynchronous
machine with the TECMs is provided.
Experimental results on the efficiency analysis, temperature
analysis and equivalent circuit parameter
analysis are provided. It is shown that the efficiency
of the single-phase asynchronous machine can be
increased by 4.44% when cooled by TECMs | en_US |
