How the Miele Vortex Motor is Designed |
|
|
|
In keeping with Miele's promise
of "Immer Besser", meaning "Forever Better", Miele has created the new
Miele Vortex motor for use in their canister vacuums. For years
they have been known for their high performance, durable canister vacuums
with powerful 2-fan suction motors. While most manfacturers downsized
their motors to single fan versions to save costs over the years, Miele
and a few other manufacturers continued using the more efficient 2-fan
motors, prefering to provide higher performance to their customers.
Traditionally, these canister motors used fans which were a constant
height from hub to rim. With this configuration a 2-fan motor typically
develops about 1/3 more suction
compared to its 1-fan counterpart, even at the same amperage rating.
The new Miele Vortex motor is an outstanding model of "thinking out of
the box." They designed it with all new fan parts that are aerodynamically
designed with no parallel surfaces and nine long fan scoops compared to
the typical six shorter ones. These scoops are quite wide near the hub of
the fan and become more narrow toward the outer edge similar to that of a
jet engine compressor. This single stage "compressor design" optimizes the
air flow and increases the overall
motor efficiency. In addition to increasing the efficiency of the fan and
its chamber, Miele also increased the power of the motor itself from 1100
watts to 1200 watts. By
incorporating these features into the new Miele Vortex motor, Miele has
produced a suction motor which develops 111" of
water lift instead of the 88" of water
lift developed by the 2-fan motor that they had been using. The maximum
air flow efficiency has even increased by 10%.
Beyond redesigning the fan and its chamber, armature and field, Miele
changed the overall layout and construction of the motor. The
motor brushes have been moved forward
so they are directly behind the fan
and before the armature and
field, where the air is the
coolest. This extends their life by keeping them operating cooler. The
motor housing is made from a high tech material called Duroplast which
resists temperature and vibration effects while reducing the overall
weight of the motor.
The Miele Vortex motor is another shining example of their making good on
their promise of "Immer Besser." It is now 1 1/2 pounds lighter but having
a 26% increase in maximum suction, 10% increase in maximum air flow
efficiency and a typical life expectancy of 1200 hours. Miele is proud to
be able to provide an outstanding 7-year warranty on this very special motor.
