Efficient Motor Control for HVAC Systems
Variable frequency drives such as the Danfoss 131X2420 regulate motor speed by adjusting output frequency and voltage. This allows HVAC equipment to respond to real system demand rather than operating continuously at full speed, helping reduce energy consumption and improve overall system efficiency.
The VLT® HVAC Drive FC 102 series is specifically designed for ventilation, heating and refrigeration applications. Its dedicated HVAC functionality, energy-saving features and industrial communication capabilities make it a popular choice for modern building services systems.
Typical Applications
- Air handling units (AHUs).
- Ventilation and extraction systems.
- HVAC pumps and circulation systems.
- Commercial building services.
- Heating and cooling equipment.
- Building management system (BMS) integration.
