Electromagnetic‐Thermal Analysis of High‐Temperature Direct Drive Electric‐Actuated Valve Canned Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor.

The high‐temperature electric‐actuated valve widely adopts the split structure, and the valve stem drives the opening and closing of the valve after passing through the high‐temperature packing and sealing structure. However, the transmission chain is too long, which cannot meet the pursuit of small volume and lightweight in the nuclear industry. In this paper, a novel integrated structure of high‐temperature direct drive electric‐actuated valve canned permanent magnet synchronous motor (DDEAV‐CPMSM) is proposed. The structure omits the dynamic sealing structure composed of stuffing box, pressure plate and pressure sleeve, as well as the transmission structure of gears and couplings, and the reliability is significantly improved. This paper focuses on the calculation of the dimension parameters, thermal load design, and electromagnetic vibration of DDEAV‐CPMSM, and compares it with the integrated structure of the induction motor to explore the optimal topology of the high‐temperature electric‐actuated valve. Aiming at the problem of serious heat generation in limited space, it is difficult to simulate the running time of high‐temperature valve. Based on the magneto‐thermal coupling method, a 3D temperature field model considering high‐temperature heat source, canned sleeve eddy current loss, and hydraulic friction loss is established. The steady‐state temperature distribution of the system at high temperature and the transient temperature change law of valve opening and closing are analyzed, and the minimum time of secondary start‐up and the maximum running time under fault conditions are further studied, to provide a theoretical basis for the application of DDEAV‐CPMSM. © 2022 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
