Air handling units Optimizing energy efficiency and indoor comfort in commercial and public buildings Strict regulations, a competitive marketplace, and the need to optimize system costs are compelling reasons to update your air handling unit designs. Building air handling units with Danfoss products and solutions enables you to optimize energy efficiency, reduce development time, and obtain reliable performance for multiple platform types and uses.
The Market Combat Climate Change Maximize Energy Efficiency Focused on customers Electric motors and the applications they drive (pumps, fans and compressors) are the single largest user of electricity in the world, consuming more than 2.5 times as much as lighting. The building sector represents about 40% of global energy use in regions like Europe and the USA. Heating and comfort cooling make up a large portion of that use.
The framework for engineering a greener future Increasing population, the rising expectations of comfort and modern architecture constantly reaching for the sky are all creating new demands for the ventilation systems and air handling units. In parallel, the focus is now higher than ever on developing technologies that would reduce energy consumption and CO2 footprint of modern buildings. Europe has been active in standardizing efficiency requirements for motor systems.
Increased efficiency of air handling units with Danfoss integrated solutions. In these times of constant and rapid technological evolution, Danfoss innovations and technical expertise support you to build better air handling units from the air supply through all the stages of air handling, until air exhaust. We offer a wide range of components, including programmable controllers, anti-frost thermostats, control valves, independent balancing valves, sensors and sight glass for higher pressures.
Effortless reduce pumping energy consumption One cause of problems in air handling units can be unbalanced hydronic components, which leads to over-pumping and increased energy consumption. AC drives enable lower pump speeds but must maintain ‘nominal’ pressure if the system is manually balanced. The Danfoss solution is AB-QM, the Pressure Independent Control Valve, that allows pump speed to be matched to demand. Proportionally reducing pump speed with flow rate, is only possible with PICVs.
Affinity laws are the key to energy savings By using AC drives in air handling units, the quality of the air and the indoor comfort are increased, while obtaining consistent energy savings, and reducing maintenance cost. Higher control reduces consumption In a system using centrifugal or rotodynamic pumps and blowers with friction loss, major energy savings can be obtained by using Danfoss AC Drives.
The next generation of buildings breathe due to Danfoss solutions Danfoss components are already improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort in buildings across the world. Some of them are landmarks of energy-efficiency recognized and awarded the highest international certifications in energy efficiency. Prime Tower – Zurich The Prime Tower is not only the tallest building in Zurich - it also holds records for its energy consumption.
