Our Project
Danfoss Turbocor requires a high-speed motor test rig that is capable of measuring efficiency and power/heat management more accurately while utilizing little power consumption. The motors that are going to be analyzed have rotation speeds that range from 13,000 rpm to 40,000 rpm. Having such a wide range for rotation will result in misalignment between the shafts that the coupler is connected with. Improvements are expected to be made from the design that was presented last year. This includes adjusting the current coupler or using a different coupler, adding a torque transducer to the rig itself and trying to fix the alignment issues that occurred last year. These will be required in order to fulfill the needs of Danfoss Turbocor. The picture below shows an exploded view of the design. At the end of the project, the motor test rig designed by the team was able to withstand a speed of 7,100 rpm, against the previous record of 700 rpm.
