HVAC driving drives market
January 1st 2006

Danfoss claims that size, or lack of it, as opposed to rating matters when it comes to buying drives.

Since launching its latest range of compact higher power ratings, sales of larger power drives have surged - leading to all time sales records.

The company believes this is due to the premium placed on space in new building designs: it claims the reduction in physical size (up to 50%), plus their 'zero side clearance' characteristics (which enable them to be mounted side by side, has been well received by HVAC consultants and designers alike.

Danfoss says the HVAC market benefits equally from the improvement in efficiency to 98% and the inclusion of features such as real time clocks and 'fire' mode (where the drives can be programmed to run to destruction in the event of a conflagration instead of shutting down to protect themselves). Additionally, the reduction in size has led to a reduction in price.
