Iranian Experts Manufacture Induction Motor Invertor for Water-Cooled Air Conditioners

These products are considered as important steps towards optimizing energy consumption in the home and industry sectors.

“20 million worn-out water-cooled air conditioners in Iran should be updated with BLDC motors (ultra-low-power motors) but since these low-power motors work only with inverters, these two products are necessary and indispensable to each other,” said Mohammad Shahab Daliri, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.

“Our company was the fourth company to produce this model of inverter (specifically for use in water coolers) in Iran,” he added.

This product fully complies with the standards set for BLDC electromotors. In fact, the product manufactured by our company has two very important parameters (PFC>0.9 and THD<10) that reduce electricity consumption in water-cooled air conditioners and greatly help solve the problem of electricity imbalance in the country,” Daliri said.

The Iranian government in 2023 ordered the producers to replace the old low-efficiency motors in the water-cooled air conditioners with high-tech and high-efficiency electric motors made by the country’s knowledge-based companies.

One of the most important features of standard in the new motors is the removal of categories B, C and D from the classification of energy labels, and thus, from the next season which will begin in early March, water-cooled air conditioners will be produced only with energy efficiency categories A and A+, A++ and A+++.

Air conditioner manufacturers should put the widespread use of high-efficiency electric motors, specially PMSM and BLDC technologies, on their agenda.

It is expected that with the mandatory and strict monitoring of implementation of this standard, an annual reduction of 300 megawatts in electricity demand and 10 million cubic meters of water consumption can be achieved.
