PROJECT DESIGN OF A MAGLEV SYSTEM WITH SHORTSTATOR LINEAR MOTOR PROPULSION
This paper presents a shortstator MAGLEV configuration for high speed application (400 km/h) based on an improved suspension technique. The system applies one set of electromagnets for levitation and also for guidance, utilizing the self-centering effect of laterally displaced magnets, and thus providing for strictly passive vehicle guidance. This use of a combined system helps to minimize vehicle weight and thus to reduce cost-effective track loading. Propulsion consists of liquid-cooled double-sided linear induction motors, which are supplied by static inverters with a boiling cooling technique, in order to achieve low volume for vehicle installations. The simple and passive track equipment can reduce capital investment significantly. Cooling the static inverter with a heat exchange medium which boils provides higher heat transfer rates per unit area and limits temperature rise more effectively than the more commonly used liquid coolants.
