Abstract:

For a medium air-cooled asynchronous motor, the physical model of cooling air inside the motor was established to research the air flow distribution and characteristics of the internal flow of the medium motor. By the finite volume method according to the computational fluid mechanics (CFD) principle, the three-dimensional turbulent flow field in computational domain was simulated numerically using boundary conditions of the pressure inlet and outlet obtained from engineering calculations. Eventually found the cooling wind speed near the ends of the ventilation is higher than which near the middle of the ventilation, it makes the temperature rise in both ends of the stator core is lower than in the middle of the stator core; and the maximum temperature rise of the motor occurs at the end of the lower winding.
