 INTRODUCTION

SINGLE PHASE VFD FOR CONTROLLED COOLING

IT TAKES SINGLE PHASE 220 VOLTS (50HZ) AS INPUT AND AT OUTPUT IT CAN DELIVER VARIABLE
𝑉
FREQUENCIES BUT MAINTAINING 𝑓 RATIO CONSTANT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE CONSTANT
TORQUE.
MAJOR DOMAINS INCLUDED IN OUR PROJECT ARE FOLLOWING
• POWER ELECTRONICS (RECTIFIERS, INVERTERS, DC LINK)
• CONTROL (TEMPERATURE SENSORS, MICROCONTROLLER)
• DRIVING OF ELECTROMECHANIAL SYSTEMS (COMPRESSOR)
 PROBLEM STATEMENT

 A GADGET WHICH CAN DRIVE COMPRESSOR OF AC (OR FRIDGE) AT SPECIFIED FREQUENCIES

EXPECTED CHALLENGES:
• VFD FOR SINGLE PHASE MOTORS
• INTEGRATION WITH RUNNING AIR CONDITIONERS
• INTEGRATION OF VFD WITH TEMPERATURE KIT FOR CALIBRATION
• INTEGRATE ICS WITH MICROCONTROLLER
 RELATED WORK AND LITERATURE SURVEY

3 PHASE AND SINGLE PHASE VFDS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET BUT AT
• HIGH POWER RATING
• EXPENSIVE
 MDA990-6: DIODE BRIDGE 600V PRV FULL WAVE BRIDGE IS AVAILABLE
 CONTROLLERS FOR PROVIDING PWM AND TAKING TEMPERATURE SENSORS INPUT ARE ALSO AVAILABLE
 THE TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 ARE LOW VOLTAGE, PRECISION CENTIGRADE TEMPERATURE SENSORS ARE ALSO
AVAILABLE
 CONVENTIONAL AC TRIPS DOWN THE COMPRESSOR ONCE THE REQUIRED TEMPERATURE IS ACHIEVED. THESE
ON/OFF JERKS CONSUME A LOT OF POWER WHICH IS UNDESIRED
 UNITS FOR COOLING ROOM

• BRITISH THERMAL UNITS (BTU)

• 1 BTU = 1055 JOULES

• STEPS FOR CALCULATING BTU

• FIND AREA OF THE ROOM
• MATCH THE AREA WITH BTU PER HOUR (FROM THE TABLE)
• MODIFY THE BTU ACCORDING TO THE SUNNY OR SHADY, INSULATION ETC.
 REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS
PROJECT CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING MODULES
 VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE
• RECTIFICATION
o FULL WAVE BRIDGE RECTIFIER (IC AVAILABLE)
• SMOOTHING OF DC
• INVERTER
o IGBTS ARE USED
• CONTROLLING CIRCUITRY
o MICROCONTROLLER PRODUCING PWM, TAKING INPUT FROM TEMPERATURE SENSORS

 ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE
o COMPRESSOR OF THE AIR CONDITIONERS

 DELIVERABLES

 SINGLE PHASE VFD IN WORKING POSITION (SALMAN TARIQ)

 SYSTEM CONTAINING VFD INTEGRATED WITH COMPRESSOR (ABDUR REHMAN)

 INTEGRATION OF TEMPERATURE KIT WITH VFD FOR CALIBRATION (AMMAR)

 SCHEDULE OF DELIVERABLE(S):

• VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (JANUARY 2013)

• COMPRESSOR INTEGRATION (FEBRUARY 2014)

• TEMPERATURE KIT INTEGRATION (APRIL 2014)

 END PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

• THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL BE A DEVICE WHICH WILL TAKE INPUT POWER AT CONSTANT
VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY AND WILL GIVE OUTPUT AT DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES BUT
𝑉
CONSTANT RATIO
𝑓

• THE FREQUENCY VARIATION WILL BE ACCORDING TO THE CONTROL INPUT FROM THE
TEMPERATURE KIT.
