Hermetic motors pushes Electric Motor Market for a substantial growth

Allied Market Research Published a report titled “Global Electric Motor Market (Motor Types, Applications, Output Power, Geography) - Size, Share, Global Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Insights, Analysis, Research, Report, Opportunities, Segmentation and Forecast, 2013 – 2020.”

The report covers comprehensive information on electric motor market that would prove effective in taking market related decisions.

Hermetic are enclosure types that are used in Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning, enclosed in a compressor cell, known as hermetic motors. They are sealed into the compressor assemblies of large chillers. Few of the compressor producers have established 24 V or 48 V DC motors for hermetic compressor applications.



“Hermetic motors are AC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors, both single and three phase. However, almost 95% or even more compressors use AC Induction Motor in hermetic compressor. In addition to this, Elco which is Asia’s largest manufacturer of cooling towers has launched the first motor compressor in Thailand and has produced condensing units that are the components of the refrigeration products, motor compressor parts and other electrical motor parts. 

In addition to this, local players in the market are also launching novel products to remain competitive in the market. The emerging markets have a large number of local motor manufacturers. Therefore, the price of the motors are comparatively low in these markets,” says AMR analyst Apurva Sale.

“Hermetic motors are majorly used for refrigeration and air conditioning purposes. Therefore, for heating ventilation and air conditioning applications, hermetic compressors are in demand. The manufacturers in the market are launching new products which are used in domestic appliances or industrial applications,” adds analyst.

In hermetic motors the winding temperature decreases with increasing load. This is not the case in traditional motors. Hence, it can be used till it the point of its breakdown torque without being thermally loaded. The advantages and the widespread adoption of hermetic motors are driving the market
