Simulation Study on Direct-Drive Compressor with Electromagnetic Linear Actuator

Abstract

In order to enhance compressor efficiency and meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, this study designed a direct-drive compressor with an electromagnetic linear actuator. Starting with the structural design and performance analysis of the linear compressor, the working process of the moving-coil linear compressor was analyzed. The basic performance of the designed moving-coil linear motor was simulated and analyzed using the Maxwell software, while the overall performance of the linear compressor was simulated and analyzed using the Simulink software to verify the feasibility of controlling a linear compressor via the direct drive of a linear motor.
