Heat

A hot motor often does not run properly, the most common reason for vacuum motors failing is
overheating. Most dry vacuums have a flow-through motor. These motors use the air they have
sucked up the dust with, to cool themselves. When there is a blockage, flow-through motors are
unable to cool themselves due to the lack of airflow. Thermal cut off devices can help prevent
motors from burning out due to overheating. Overheating usually occurs because the dust bag
has not been emptied, filter has not been cleaned or there is a blockage in the floor tool, wand or
bent hand piece.
A bypass motor has its own cooling wing. It will suck the cooling air independent of the working
air. The vacuuming air flows are blown out of the side of the turbine housing. In this way the motor
is cooled, also even if the air flow is blocked. This cooling method does not make the same
demands on filtration of the working air, as this air will be blown out before it gets in contact with
the motor. But demands are made on the filtration of the cooling air, if the room, in which the
vacuum cleaner is used, contains many suspended particles.
A blow through motor is cooled by the same air that is used for vacuuming the material. This
makes larger demands on the filters of the vacuum cleaner. If they are damaged or missing, the
motor will be exposed to a large influence of dust and might consequently seize up.

Problem faced
Difficulty to move the vacuum as the handle is at lower position, user need to bend their body to
move the vacuum.

Innovation
Telescopic handle:
-telescopic handle can be adjust to user height and preference, so that user does not need to
bend to grab the handle and move the vacuum around. This improvement can save time and
also reduce backpain of user since they do not need to strain grabbing it.
