Revolutionizing HVAC Outdoor Units: Panasonic's Compact Motor Development

Panasonic developed a new motor for side-discharge HVAC outdoor units that reduce the number of motors needed while maintaining performance and a low profile. The latest fan motor has increased performance at a similar size, allowing the system to consolidate to a single fan motor instead of the standard 2-motor installation. This reduces the size and weight of the HVAC system. The engineers redesigned the motor core magnetic structure and magnets, increased the number of poles in the magnetic circuit, and adopted anti-vibration material to achieve this.
