Abstract
The present invention discloses a plurality of modules useful for controlling the electric power consumed by an evaporative air conditioning system, with the aim to save consumption of electric power used for conditioning the temperature in residential houses by replacing a split-phase, single-phase induction motor by a three-phase induction motor powered by a space vector voltage inverter. The main modules of the present invention are: a single-phase rectifier, in charge of maintaining the DC voltage at a level required for the three-phase voltage inverter to operate, this rectifier being also responsible for a soft start in order to avoid current spikes which may abrade the system components. - a controller which maintains the power flowing to the motor by using the modulation Space Vector technique (SVPWM), thereby using the DC voltage efficiently and allowing a waveform with low harmonic distortion to be synthesized, with the goal of supporting the highest possible efficiency. - a voltage inverter with pulse width modulation based on Space vectors (SVPWM) which, when compared with other modulation techniques, allows a better use of the voltage generated by a semi-controlled rectifier. By using a passive LC low pass filter, the high frequency harmonics generated by the high switching frequency are eliminated.
Description
Energy saving system for evaporative type air coolers
DESCRIPTION
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The invention aims to provide an alternative energy saving system for evaporative air apparatuses with variable speed control of wide range for this type of apparatus, which means an improvement over traditional systems that only have 2 speeds and that also allows us to reduce the electric energy consumption of evaporative-type air coolers for residential use.
BACKGROUND
The evaporative air coolers are used in warm or semi-desert areas where there is a type of dry climate, and through the humidification of air that enters the equipment allows creating a comfort zone inside homes, commercial or industrial premises. The air coolers used in the home use split phase single-phase induction motors, which require starter auxiliary windings and which, due to the nature of their design, have a low efficiency.
By using a three-phase motor and a vector space converter, efficiency can be increased by 28%, which represents a saving in energy consumption. In order to exemplify the energy saving, if we consider a city with 50,000 houses, of which 80% have a washing machine that uses a mon HP single-phase motor, it would have an energy saving of 13,055 kWh. . The above considering that the engine is running at 100% of its rated load. When a motor driven by a voltage inverter is used, greater efficiencies can be achieved, since the evaporative type air cooler will only be used to create the necessary comfort in a house, that is, there are commonly times when it can be done. have a comfortable environment with a reduced speed and thereby reduce the electrical energy consumed by the electric motor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention consists of an energy saving system for evaporative air conditioners or commonly called washed air, the schematic of the invention is shown in Figure 1. The energy of the system is supplied by the distribution network of Federal Commission of Electricity (CFE) (1), this is fed to a voltage rectifier (2) and later to a three-phase inverter based on vector spaces (3), which has the function of driving a three-phase induction motor (4) that is in the air device conditioned. This inverter is operated by a door driver circuit and a digital signal contrr (DSC) preferably dspic30f3011 (Figures 2 and 3). This contrr receives the command of the speed desired by the user through a potentiometer (5) and generates the sequence of shots based on vector spaces necessary to create the three-phase voltage signal, and variable frequency necessary to drive the three-phase induction motor , which are tasks that require intense computing power in real time. It is important to mention that the DSC is also responsible for the control of the rectifier circuit, thus having an effective control over the DC voltage that is used to power the three-phase voltage inverter.
The above allows to vary the speed of the engine in a wide range of speeds instead of having only 2 predefined speeds, helping to save energy. The shots generated by the DSC are transmitted to the driver by means of opto couplers preferably 6N137 (6), in this way the user is electrically isolated from the network effectively, the pulses are subsequently fed to the IR2130 IC (7) that drives the IGBTs of the three-phase voltage inverter, to power the electric motor. This circuit has different characteristics such as protections due to voltage drops and current peaks that protect the motor and the system from any electrical failure, thus effectively avoiding damage to it.
The single-phase voltage rectifier (Fig. 4) is controlled by the DSC via SPI, this communications protocol is used to modify the control voltage by means of a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) (8), this control voltage is used to determine the firing angle of the thyristors, that way the output voltage of the rectifier is effectively adjusted. The rectifier has an analog synchronization system (9) that keeps the shots in phase with the CFE voltage (1), this phase is used in conjunction with the command signal to determine the activation of the thyristors according to the desired voltage. This signal is later multiplied by the oscillations of an astable timer (10), this is added for the purpose of transmitting the shots to the doors of the thyristors by means of isolation transformers (11), in such a way that it remains electrically isolated. any circuit that can be manipulated by the user. The presence of this rectifier allows the system to have a soft start that avoids the peaks of currents associated with the load of the capacitor and the start of the motor, effectively increasing the life time of both the installation and the components of the system to be subject to Less stress at startup. It is also important to mention that the presence of the rectifier allows to regulate the DC voltage before variations of the line by CFE.
Additionally, it is important to mention that the efficiency of a three-phase induction motor is higher than that of a single-phase motor, so even with a maximum speed of rotation in the motor, there will be a saving of 28% in the energy consumed. In this way, it is possible to have a three-phase signal from a single-phase installation in an effective way. It is also important to mention that the presence of the DSC allows to include temperature and humidity controls for the system control.
