Method for coconstant torque control of EC motor in ventilation system

Abstract

A method for constant torque control of an EC motor of a ventilation system includes: defining a maximum speed spd_max_ref and a minimum speed spd_min_ref of an electronically commutated motor (ECM) within a constant-torque operation range; by using a proportional integral (PI) controller, calculating an upper reference torque T_ref_up with the maximum speed spd_max_ref as a first reference speed, and calculating a lower reference torque T_ref_low with the minimum speed spd_min_ref as a second reference speed; and T_ref_up>T_ref_low; receiving an externally input torque command Tcom; comparing the torque command Tcom, the upper reference torque T_ref_up, and the lower reference torque T_ref_low to determine a target torque Tact; and controlling the ECM to operate in a constant torque mode under the target torque Tact.
