Related applications
Pumps, fans, compressors.

Variable speed control with AC drives enables you to reduce energy consumption by running compressor applications at a lower speed.

Improve your COP and save on energy consumption by applying Danfoss AC drives to optimize the capacity control of refrigeration compressors, condensers and evaporators.

Variable speed control of a chiller allows you to provide constant pressure regulation while matching the capacity to the actual need based on measurements in the system. Speed control is beneficial when a compressor runs for long periods at partial load. Reduce operational costs by running applications at a lower speed which reduces energy consumption. And reduce installation costs by optimizing the system and the compressor itself.

Get more out of your air handling units, using fan control that gives you easy air filter monitoring and built-in fire safety features.
Case studies

ITALY: At Rivoira Group, VLT® drives with built-in condition-based monitoring help preserve fruit perfectly by ensuring utterly reliable refrigeration.

POLAND: For more than a decade, Danfoss drives have halved the power consumption at Carlsberg’s Okocim Brewery. The brewery uses less water and has lowered its emissions too.

GLASGOW: From October 31st to November 12th, 2021, the world will be watching the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, UK, where delegates from almost 200 countries will carry out some of the most important discussions about the future of our planet and take firm steps for ramping up global climate action during the Conference of the Parties and is the United Nations’ annual conference on climate change (COP26).

Aboard the Viking Lines cruise ship M/S Cinderella, Danfoss AC variable speed drives are delivering fuel savings so large that the cost of installing the drives will be fully recovered in less than eighteen months.

DENMARK: Two district cooling centrals in Copenhagen use seawater from Copenhagen Harbor for their cooling systems. For seven years, VLT® drives controlling pumps and compressors have proven their worth, ensuring high efficiency and impressive security of supply.

Tailor your drives to suit your application by unlocking licensed features. Fast plug-and-play activation will let you create the best conditions for your business.

Danfoss’ VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 10, an interactive software used to quickly and easily configure and document the settings of AC drives, has been updated. You can now take full benefit of the support of additional sensors and monitoring of electric motors in your CBM setup with the latest drives’ firmware. This means that if you are utilizing condition-based monitoring in your AC drives already, you can now make full use of the CBM functions via your computer.

The VLT® Refrigeration Drive FC 103 extends its connectivity with PLC, Scada, and cloud thanks to the VLT® Modbus TCP MCA 122 communication option card. Thanks to this additional connectivity possibility and the innovative functions dedicated to refrigeration applications, the VLT® Refrigeration Drive integrates many features required in Industry 4.0. In addition to functional data exchange, sophisticated latest-generation algorithms can predict system malfunctions.
