Energy efficiency in HVAC systems is often discussed from the perspective of motor efficiency classes. However, the efficiency of the motor itself is an important part of the equation, but not the only one. Significant energy-saving potential can be unlocked by considering the complete motor-drive-system and how it operates within the actual application. This becomes even more important in the context of the large-scale data centers.
This presentation explores how the combination of high-efficiency motors, variable frequency drives, and application-optimized operation can significantly reduce the energy consumption of fans and pumps across different HVAC applications. Beyond the initial CAPEX investment, the assessment considers the impact of energy savings over the equipment?s lifet ...
