Title: | Development of a permanent magnet free piston compressor | Authors: | Monyane, Dyke Wellington | Keywords: | Compressors -- Design and construction;Compressors -- Performance | Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | Cape Peninsula University of Technology | Abstract: | There is a high demand for refrigerators in South Africa, as revealed by the Eskom TSI market survey. Refrigerators are found to be expensive becoause compressors are imported and compressors cost 45% of the total budget of a refrigerator. For this reason a project was undertaken to develop an affrodable refrigirator but this was unsuccessful owing to expensive compressors. The compressor consists of an induction motor coupled to the compression unit via a crankshaft. In this thesis a novel permanent magnet free piston compressor is designed and constructed by using a linear motor topology. | Description: | Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2005. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/1132 |
