FAQ - Keppe Motor

1.5. What is the economy of the Keppe Motor compared to competitors?

Answer: Answer: The mechanical power developed by a motor is expressed by Torque x Rotation. So, a 50W motor, for example, can be designed to work with more speed and less torque, or vice-versa, but always maintaining 50W.

In the current stage of development, the Keppe Motor can only be compared to low power motors rated below 0,5 HP.

Since there are many air ventilation and exhaust devices within this power range, each one of them was designed to work with a different type of blade that corresponds to a specific torque and rotation so that it achieves the desired goal. For example, micro-fans are fast and weak, while ceiling fans are slow and strong.

Household appliances work with AC monophasic motors and these devices include electric tools, mixers, fans, vacuum cleaners, water pumps, cooling compressors, etc. If we compare the Keppe Motor with some of these products we have the following energy savings:

We should take into consideration that fans work with different speeds and the figures shown in the previous table represent the best performance, which correspond to the best working speeds of the conventional monophasic AC motors. For example, a ceiling fan rotating at the maximum speed of 500 rpm consumes 170W and the Keppe Motor at the same speed consumes 35W with 79% energy savings, but if the same ceiling fan runs at its slowest speed of 150 rpm, this savings becomes even more impressive. In fact, at 150 rpm this conventional ceiling fan consumes 80W and the Keppe Motor only 1.5W, a difference of 83.n5W or 98% economy.
