Design and Analysis of a 30 kW, 30,000 r/min High-Speed Permanent Magnet Motor for Compressor Application

Abstract

In this paper, the design and analysis of a 30 kW, 30,000 r/min high-speed permanent magnet motor (HSPMM) for compressor application are provided. In order to provide a reasonable electromagnetic design scheme, the electromagnetic performances of the HSPMM under different structures are analyzed and compared by the finite element method (FEM). The thermal performances and cooling system of the HSPMM are, respectively, analyzed and designed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Finally, the HSPMM’s rotor strength is studied by both FEM and analytical methods, and the influencing factors of which are also researched in this paper.
