»Why Variable Speed Refrigerator?
Refrigerator
RefrigeratorsRefrigerators account for up to 20% of energy usage in a home. Conventional refrigerators equipped with single phase RSIR/CSCR/CSIR motors work only at full speed. EC motors work at variable speed to reach the target temperature more smoothly. This allows for up to 30% energy savings.
Why?
Conventional Frostless Variable Speed RefrigeratorVsComparison
Conventional Vs Variable speed Refrigerator
•Higher energy usage because of timed de-frost cycle which must be designed for worst case conditions
•Enclosure heat loss is higher because temperature must be lowered beyond set point.
•Compressor is larger than needed because it needs to reduce temperature below the set point.
•On-off thermostat causes wide hysteresis (6 to 10°F) and poor energy efficiency.
•De-frost energy is minimized by comparing evaporator temperature with enclosure temperature and initiating de-frost cycle only when needed.
•Negligible heat loss due to operation at fixed temperature without hysteresis.
•Analog to digital thermostat continuously controls compressor speed in response to heat loss and optimizes energy usage.•Compressor capacity is optimized for enclosure heat loss only.
Improving Efficiency in Refrigerator
• Most of the energy used by a refrigerator is used to pump heat out of the cabinet. A small amount is used to keep the cabinet from sweating, to defrost the refrigerator, and to illuminate the interior.
• Improved energy efficiency can be achieved through:– Addition of vacuum insulation panels (too expensive)– Increased door and wall thickness (not acceptable by the market)– Addition of polyurethane foam to the doors to double insulation
thickness problems for pollution (material)– Replacement of automatic defrost control with an adaptive defrost
that operates only when needed– Replacement of AC motors with more efficient DC motors
• The most cost-effective solution is via variable speed electronic motor control
Present Refrigerator Technologies• Single-phase RSIR/CSCR motors power most of the present refrigerator compressors• An On/Off thermostat carries out the temperature control• No or Less Electronics• High-end frost-free models presently have timers and ElectronicsMerits & Demerits of Present MethodsMerits: • Simple ON/OFF control & proven technology Demerits:• Energy intensive and inefficient• As the demand for power and torque increases the motor becomes bulkier and expensive• Single-phase motors have low power to weight ratio• Since the motor is selected for peak duties the capacity of the motor is not optimal• High inrush makes it incompatible to low Power Backups viz. Generator/Inverter• Threatened obsoletes just like 2 stroke motor-bike technology

»Why Variable Speed Air conditioner?
Why Variable speed Air conditioner?
Energy Efficiency
Room air conditioners are now being assigned an efficiency rating, known as energy efficiency ratio (EER). The EER is defined as the cooling output (in Btu per hour) divided by its energy input (Watts) at specified indoor and outdoor temperatures. The minimum EER allowed is between 8 and 10, depending on the capacity and type of unit. A higher rating means more efficiency. The best available EER is about 13.These specifications are regulated by the Department of Energy in US & by Bureau of Energy Efficiency in India.
Variable speed Air conditionerInverter Driven Air Conditioners Technology used in AC inverter air conditioners, control the electrical current frequency to the compressor according to the cooling and heat load of a room for optimum performance. Inverter technology promotes maximum compressor efficiency by adapting the rotation speed to accurately match requirements and offer finely-tuned operation. AC inverter air conditioners can reduce electricity consumption by up to 30% when compared to non-inverter units.

» Comparison 3 phase Vs 1 Phase Motor Control
Parameter Single Phase Motor + Control Three Phase Motor + Control
Size Bigger motor for a unit output For the same power the size of the three-phase motor reduces to 2/3rd size of single-phase motor. Can be further optimized for the loading requirements.
Starting Needs Auxiliary winding, Capacitor for starting. The quality of the auxiliary winding & Capacitance defines the starting characteristics
Inherently self-starting with good starting torque. No Capacitor required
Windings Presence of a optimized auxiliary winding to generate Cross field
Balanced three phase active windings uniformly distributed in all equal slots
Operational merit
Pulsating torque Uniform Torque is operational merit, since it sets up a revolving field in the air gap

» General Concerns & Redressal
Concerns Redressal
a) Component Changeover
Motor – Negligible Change is required to make 3 phase motor
Electronics – Can be outsourced as a entire assembly, If the manufacturer possesses the capability of Motors & Electronics the effect is minimum
b) Parallel operation of 1 and 3 phase motor winding –
Motor - Intelligent tooling activities can lead to negligible loss of time in process change. Same single phase machine may be used to Produce 3 phase Motors.
Electronics – Simple adoption if the process is captive
Feasibility Study in adopting 3 phase design
c) Technology appraisal– Early dissemination of the technology across the board once the decision of technology change is considered. Benefits of change should be punched properly down the line
d) Training – Aided/Augmented by the guidance provided by technology developer and component supplier
e) Compressor
Development of Higher speed compressor.Higher speed brings the rationalization of compressor models
Note : The increased power density of the compressor should be the Drive & Motive
