Ansys technology enables a smarter,
"sustainable-by-design" R&D strategy for home appliances
with much smaller carbon footprints
/ Key Highlights
- Designed with a simulation-driven, super-efficient brushless DC
motor, the fan generates energy savings of approximately 50 watts
of electricity per day
- With support from Ansys Elite Channel Partner CADFEM India,
Ansys software is used throughout Atomberg's development process
for blade airflow, aero-acoustic and modal analysis, blade rivet
dynamic load studies as well as stress and deformation analysis of
the rotor
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 5, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation solutions
empowered Atomberg, a high-efficiency fan and small appliance
manufacturer, to develop a more energy-efficient electric fan
motor. The result is a smarter, more sustainable and streamlined
internet-of-things (IoT)-enabled ceiling fan design that consumes
65% less electricity than conventionally powered fans.
Traditional ceiling fans consume 70-80 watts of electricity per
day, yet only use 22 watts of that energy to power the fan blades —
resulting in a net loss of almost 50 watts in the form of heat.
This performance has a negative environmental impact on a very
large scale. Atomberg was founded to challenge the existing market
and deliver new home appliance experiences as part of its
"sustainable-by-design" R&D strategy.
The Atomberg team leveraged Ansys software to deliver a more
compact, energy-efficient brushless DC motor design that runs on 28
watts of electricity versus the 70-80 watts required by a
conventional induction motor. This design enables roughly three
Atomberg fans to run on the same amount of power required by a
single induction-motor-based fan.
Atomberg also uses Ansys simulation for structural analysis and
assessment of fluid dynamics in various aspects of its fan designs
to further streamline and improve overall fan performance.
"Our fan designs are undergoing drastic changes in terms of
energy efficiency, materials, and overall look and feel," said
Manoj Meena, chief executive officer
and founder of Atomberg. "Our motor technology is continuously
evolving, and simulation is an important part of that evolutionary
journey. Ansys tools help us to efficiently validate all kinds of
variables including cost optimization, product design, and
performance requirements, reducing our prototyping efforts."
"Simulation and virtual prototyping can play a powerful role in
reducing manufacturing's carbon footprint and creating novel
sustainable solutions by default technologies," said Walt Hearn, vice president of worldwide sales
and customer excellence at Ansys. "Ansys is proud to provide
innovators with the engineering simulation to make better decisions
more efficiently with the speed and scale required."
