Energy saving products VLT® products and solutions contribute to environmental protection by reducing energy consumption and optimising the use of resources across the company’s market areas. For more than 30 years, reliable and ecient automation systems from Danfoss Drives have increased companies’ productivity, saved energy and improved comfort levels.

48% energy savings in HVAC applications The speed of AC electric motors is determined by the frequency of the AC power supply. In air conditioning and ventilation applications, motors must be dimensioned to meet maximum requirements for ow, despite the fact that this capacity is only rarely required. Traditionally, on-o operation and dampers are used to adjust the ow. Since energy consumption increases at a third the power of the fan speed, major energy savings are achieved by reducing fan speed. On average, 48% of energy is saved using VLT® operation in HVAC applications. Fan applications Fans...
