Variable speed drive up to 75 kW for Building HVAC

 
 
Frequency inverters for 3-phase asynchronous motors up to 30 kW for Building HVAC (75kw in september 2006)
 

Value proposition

 
  • 70 to 80% of HVAC applications (Air handling units and cooling towers) are fan applications. Compared to conventional installations, such as motor starter and flow regulation by an outlet valve, AC drives allow you to save up to 50% on energy consumption.
  • On top of that, the energy saving law of the Altivar 21 allows you to optimise the motor control according to the load (air density). This results in a few additional percentage of energy savings.
  • Using ECO8 software you can easily estimate energy savings according to your pump or fan applications and duty cycle.
  • At 80% of nominal flow, the energy consumption is 95% of nominal power with conventional installations instead of 50% with AC drives.
