Utilizing cutting-edge silicon carbide (SiC) switches, it achieves 60% lower power losses compared to other filters on the market, and superior high-order harmonic elimination, ensuring efficient and reliable operation tailored to your needs.

Compressor’s innovative 6-cylinder design expands company’s CO₂ product offerings Danfoss is proud to announce that their BOCK HGX56 CO₂ T compressor was named the winner in the Refrigeration category of the 2025 AHR Expo Innovation Awards. The annual awards competition honors the most inventive and original products, systems, and technologies that will be showcased at this coming January’s International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) in the categories of building automation; cooling; sustainable solutions; heating; indoor air quality; plumbing; refrigeration; software; tools & instruments; and ventilation.

Breakthrough technology will make heat pumps more effective in cold climates

Reflecting its commitment to decarbonization and the transition to electric heating, Danfoss is excited to introduce an economizer for cold climate heat pumps. A brazed plate heat exchanger coupled with an extra expansion device, the economizer enables scroll compressors with vapor injection, like the Danfoss PSH vapor injection compressor, to operate efficiently at higher operating envelopes.

Contractors and building owners now able to use software for MCHE selection 

Danfoss HEXSelector software now includes microchannel heat exchangers (MCHE), making it possible for contractors and building owners to easily choose the perfect match for their HVAC system. With microchannel heat exchangers growing in popularity for their lightweight design and reduced refrigerant charge, contractors faced the challenge of choosing the product correctly sized for their system. This upgrade to the HEXSelector software enables them to streamline the process. 

Sophisticated web-based simulation tool offers streamlined analysis for harmonic mitigation 

Harmonics is a complex subject, and professionals often find it daunting to start their journey due to a lack of effective tools for understanding. MyDrive® Harmonics addresses this challenge by setting a new benchmark in harmonic analysis and mitigation in HVAC drives. Its advanced simulation capabilities, combined with its focus on accuracy and user-centric design, will help engineers mitigate harmonic distortions in HVAC systems. 

New compressor ideal for heat recovery, process heating and district heating applications 

Heat pump adoption in the industrial market is challenging due to the need for high-temperature heat sources in the production process. The Danfoss PSG compressor is ideal for high temperature industrial heat pumps, enabling the move to electrification and transition from fossil fuels to sustainable heating. 

The pioneer oil-free, magnetic bearing compressor technology took a disruptive innovation to commercialization. 

Danfoss Turbocor® is celebrating three decades of operation in 2025. Founded in 1995 in Australia by a group of engineers and later acquired by Danfoss as a wholly owned company, the organization has grown to 350 employees with operation centers in the U.S., Denmark and China. Over 140,000 Turbocor compressors have been installed globally as more customers seek to lower their carbon emissions and energy consumption. 

Full range of injection capabilities enables electrification in HVAC 

The Danfoss variable speed scroll compressor range now includes the ability to operate with vapor, liquid, and wet injection. The injection technology in the new Danfoss VZH-VI compressor range accelerates the flexibility for manufacturers to design units that achieve superior performance in comfort control, cooling, and low ambient heating for cold climates. Used alongside the Danfoss fixed speed compressor range, and combined with the full Danfoss qualified injection package, it is truly a full system solution. 

New Linux-based device allows multiple monitoring devices to communicate effectively 

With more commercial buildings adopting AI and connectivity solutions to optimize energy consumption and identify maintenance needs before they reach a critical stage, building owners and managers are facing the challenge of integrating multiple devices into their building management system (BMS). The new X-Gate gateway from Danfoss meets that challenge by enabling effective communication between devices that use different communication standards. 

Executive brings extensive wholesale experience to new role Danfoss is pleased to announce the appointment of Rick Sporrer as the new director of indirect sales, North America, at Danfoss Climate Solutions. He brings years of experience in distribution channel sales to his new role, where he will lead a team focused on implementing and enhancing Danfoss’ distribution sales strategy.
