Danfoss EC+ Concept - systematic energy saving

The smart trend in HVAC drive technology

Increase your overall system efficiency, achieve a higher energy class certification and save costs with the Danfoss EC+ concept .

The Advantages

The Danfoss EC+ concept allows permanent magnet (PM) motors with non IEC or IEC conform dimensions to be used with Danfoss VLT® frequency converters.

Simple Commissioning

Many users are familiar with operating standard motors with VLT® HVAC drives. The configuration
settings are essentially the same.

Optimum Efficiency

Improving efficiency is an easy way to reduce energy consumption. The European Union has
therefore introduced minimum efficiency performance standards (MEPS) for three-phase induction motors.

Manufacturer Independence

By applying the Danfoss EC+ concept users benefit from maximum flexibility thanks to the option of choosing different manufacturers for the necessary standard components.

Easy Retrofit

The EC+ concept is based on standardised components that the user can replace individually. It allows PM motors with IEC dimensions to be used with Danfoss VLT® frequency converters.

Low Service Costs

The term “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) covers the consideration of all costs incurred during the lifetime of a product. For the EC+ concept, as with all electric drives, the energy costs constitute the largest share.

Legislation & Motor Efficiency Classes

To achieve CO2 savings legal measures are taken worldwide. Since a large savings potential is seen in electric drives, they are already subject to many legal regulations.

Motor Technology

Due to the built-in permanent magnets, permanently excited motors do not need a separate excitation winding. This results in reduced losses in the motor and in increased efficiency.

Danfoss VLT drives energy saving ECplus

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.
