La Plata, Argentine Republic. Email: [email protected] Received: January 17, 2019. Accepted: May 11, 2019. Final version: August 5 , 2019 Abstract Taking into account the importance of the Energy Efficiency (EE), especially the one referring to the single -phase electric power, of domiciliary and commercial consumption. The problem of the environmental impact (carbon footprint) that is being generated, means an opportunity for the development of more efficient products in the consumption of electric energy (final objective). In clear orientation with this ethical line of Dis. Ind., We worked with our own Ecodesing methodology, fo cused on the fifth stage of life cycle analysis (LCA): efficient use of electric energy. The purpose was to develop a synchronous motor of type PMSM of 220 (volts), 50 (Hz) of alternating current (AC); to be used in fans, air conditioners and other cooling systems: air forcers, etcetera. The main result obtained was the reduction of 52% of the active power (W), without loss of speed (revolutions per minute) of the blades. As a final conclusion we can say that there was a saving of 58% consumption of active electric power (kWh). Keywords: energy efficiency, electric power, AC machine, synchronous machine, fan 1. Introducción to keep an environment cool, represents almost 20% of the total electricity used in buildings around the world today. According to the World Energy Outlook 2017 [1] published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) In the Argentin e Republic, CAMMESA annual reports: there are some trends in the global energy system, 2007/16 [3] indicate that during that period there was a where electric motors will represent a third of the 45% increase in electricity consumption in all sectors, increase in demand for electric energy. This increase which means a problem in generation and transmission. means that millions of homes will add appliances and Therefore, it becomes a necessity all the measures th at can refrigeration systems. Recently the Agency published a be taken in the sense of Energy Efficiency (EE) [4]; which very complete study [2] on the situation of the use of air on the other hand means an opportunity for the design and conditioni ng in the world, where it is detailed that its development of more efficient industrial products in the use together with electric fans to keep an environment consumption of electric energy. In clear orientation with cool, represents almost 20% of the total electricity used the ethical line of carbon footprint reduction. in buildings around the world today. The carbon footprint is known as greenhouse gases Recently the Agency published a very complete study [2] (GHG) emitted by direct or indirect effect of an on the situation of the use of air conditioning in the world, individual, organization, event or product. Such where it is detailed that its use together with electric fans environmental impact is measured by conducting a GHG emissions inventory or a life cycle analysis (LCA) ISSN printed: 1657 - 4583.

Degree of technological relevance Following regulations such as the one adopted in Spanish UNE-EN ISO 14040 [7], based on the The Ministry of Energy of the Nation [11] in the international standard ISO 14044 [8]. Republic of Argentina, has a Subsecretariat of Savings and Energy Efficiency (EE) [12] created by Presidential This information has been obtained from the Ecodesign Decree 231/15 [13], which indicates the political and Postgraduate Course, by Ing. Guillermo Canale et al., strategic relevance that for the country it owns the EE, Department of Industrial Design, National University of to reduce the consumption of electrical energy. La Plata, Argentina. In effect, the Ecodesign is a Translated into policies [14] for intelligent use [15] and methodological tool for the Industrial Design of responsible for energy in various areas such as: products. education, productive sectors, building and public sector, transportation, etc. 1.2. Technological novelty and hypothesis in The national political and strategic importance is Industrial Design manifested in an EE portal [16] on the government website. Where is the label [17] of EE, IRAM Standard The novelty to build this technology less expensive 62480: 2017, with useful advice for both the responsible (economically) and less complex (electronically) is to use (saving or reduction of energy consumption) and use other technologies previously existing in the market efficient use (optimize the use of such energy, using the and recombine them in a new way (novel, original) in same or less quantity). In other words, EE means such a way that the definition of novelty of the Invention producing the same or more with less energy. Patent Law (Law 24481), and utility models; as the Law in the Republic of Argentina states: “d) There will be With a special section and an EE guide for electric inventive activity when the creative process or its results motors [18], which saves money and increases are not deduced from the state of the art in an evident competitiveness. way for a person normally versed in the corresponding technical matter.” [9, Article 4 °, Inc.
