VLT® HVAC Drives improve hospital environment and at the same time reduce energy consumption by more than 50%
The great benefit of the Danfoss VLT frequency drives is they do not only give you full control over your electric drive system. They help you save a lot of energy - and reduce CO2 emissions - at the same time. Right from the start.
VLT HVAC Drive frequency converters installed as part of the air handling equipment in the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals have significantly improved the internal environment in the areas served.
But at the same time, the VLT drives reduce the energy consumption by more than 50%. This has been quantified as saving £48,000; 288 tonnes of CO2 emissions and 533,000 kWh of electricy per annum.

Increase Efficiency - Save Energy
A key factor for energy savings in building services is the use of variable speed drives for compressors, pumps and fans.
There are two decisive factors here: the efficiency of the motor (and the machine) and the energy efficiency of the application control.
Because of their high efficiency, the use of motors with permanent-magnet rotors is increasing. Motors with this technolocy are know as 'EC motors' in the HVAC sector.
To allow the users to benefit from the high motor efficiency of EC technology in all areas, Danfoss has refined its tried and tested VVC+ algorithm - as used in the VLT frequency drives - and optimised it for operating PM motors.
