A superior product and important references secured the ventilation order for Dubai Metro
The order was won against stiff resistance from Turkish and French consultants, both of which preferred one of Danfoss' global competitors. Two main features of the Danfoss drives proved decisive; the Fire Override feature in the VLT HVAC Drive and the ability to operate in 50º ambient temperatures without derating.
In full operation, Dubai Metro is projected to carry approximately 1.2 million passengers on an average day, and 355 million passengers per year.
Danfoss has already supplied and commissioned 4 off 132 kW drives to Jebel Ali station.
