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.

Write Your Own Review
The VLT HVAC drive has built-in intelligence to give optimal process control to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). It is simple to use and extremely cost-efficient, featuring a number of functions that are ideal for use with pumps, fans and compressors to save energy, meet environmental regulations and reduce costs in modern buildings.
The VLT HVAC drive has a compact, robust design and is ideally suited to locations where space is restricted. A selection of safety features, such as Safe Torque Off and Safe Maximum Speed, protect both applications and their operators.
Enclosures can be purchased separately, up to IP66, and an additional option available upon purchase is a unique coating to provide added protection for the circuit boards. Integrated DC chokes and RFI filters safeguard installations by minimizing harmonic distortion and electromagnetic.
