Introduction
DC motor are widely used in a lot of
application due to a very necessary for the
smooth during running and operating the
motor. DC motor drive usually used for the
best speed regulation, braking, reversing
and frequent starting.
Some reason why need of some precaution

during starting the motor is because at

stand still condition only a small armature
resistance present at circuit with no back
emf generated.
Cont
DC motor speed usually controlled by using
manipulating variable resistor and the
starting current also can be set up the limit.
Objective Of This Project
To apply the DC drive into a real life
application
To improve the understanding of the DC

drive topic through the project

To discuss the operational of DC drive in the

selection application.
To study the specification of DC drive in

selection application
Scope Of Project
This project was conducted using Livewire
software to run the simulation of speed
variable at indoor unit air condition blower.
Theory
Air Conditioning Operation
Each air conditioner has got a compressor in the
unit. The compressor works to compress and
pump the refrigerant gas. From the compression
of refrigerant it will produces heat. So to dissipate
this heat, the compressed refrigerant is pumped
to the condenser coils where a fan blows the heat
out to outer atmosphere. During this process, the
refrigerant takes into liquid form. Then this liquid
refrigerant is pumped towards expansion valve.

Controlling DC motor speed takes part in cooling
process according to the excess heat dissipated.
When the temperature is increasing rapidly the DC
motor will gain on to the highest speed to cool
down the system.
By using electronic control method the motor run at
the lowest speed first then to the highest speed is
used to cool down the compressor unit until the
thermometer reading showed that the temperature
is cold enough for the DC motor to become idle.
When cooling or heating is neededimmediately,
the motor will turn at the highest speed. When the
temperature of the room hasstabilized, the motor
will turn at a lower speed.

Results

when the SW1 was close, the current

will obviously flow from the source 12 V
through the R1 and also motor.
motor will operate with the current
922.93 mA flow in the circuit and with
the minimum value Ra 5 , moto will
operated with hight speed.
Cont..

When SW4 will closed, the current will

flow through the source, R2 and motor.
Motor will operated with the medium
speed rotation due to the increasing value
of resistance which is 15.
The value of current flow through this
circuit is 521.69 mA
 Cont..

When SW5 were close, it will make the current

flow from the source 12 V through the R3 and R2.
The value of resistance increase due to the
series connection of R3 and R2 are 25 in total
and current flow in circuit decrease to 363.61 mA.
 Cont

In OFF switch condition, all the other

switch must closed. There is no current flow
in the circuit thus make the motor will not
operated.

Conclusion
As for the conclusion we can say that by using dc
drive on indoor unit air conditioning we can improve
the efficiency and reliability of the air conditioning
system.
In this new technology we imply DC drive motor to
avoid the magnetic field in the stator of the AC
induction motor reacting with the magnetic field
produced by the rotor.
The process of using DC drive motor can save up a lot
of energy but in contrast the price is higher than the
conventional AC induction drive motor system but in
the long time the return values going to add up.
