Characteristics Analysis of Electromagnetic Pump using Linear Induction Motor |
| Abstract |
This paper presents the characteristics analysis of electromagnetic pump using linear induction motors. The electromagntic pump is designed to transfer the molten metals by the electromagnetic force of linear induction motors. The characteristics of a linear induction motor are analysed by the equivalent circuit method considering the end effects. For the verification of the analysis method, the locked test and load test with molten tin were made. The test results of locked test were compared with the simulations, and the velocity of the load test with molten zinc showed 0.24[m/s] with air gap 30[mm] which is sufficient for transferring molten tin. |
