Guide To Suppliers

To highlight the reliability and longevity of its products, Danfoss is running a competition to find the oldest VLT and VACON drives still in service.

Danfoss Drives is celebrating fifty years of designing and manufacturing AC variable speed drives with products that can be applied to virtually every sector of industry.

Visitors to the Danfoss Drives stand at this year’s Drives & Control Show will be able find out about the important benefits of ‘Doing it Differently’ –  making informed and independent choices about motors and drives rather than settling for a package solution that may be less than optimal.

Danfoss recognised early on that its customers wanted customised and application specific products, rather than a standard drive that they needed to adapt. Sara Bernard reports.

Abdelhak Dhabi explains how variable speed control of compressors can be deployed to reduce energy consumption and wear, as well as increasing the overall system efficiency of refrigeration installations.

BogensePlast is a Danish company that has demonstrated how its approach to energy efficiency has helped it become more competitive and, as a result, keep production in Denmark. 

The refrigeration optimised frequency converters from Danfoss are available in the full power range from 1.1kW to 315kW in a variety of enclosures: IP20, IP21 and IP54.

Customers are demanding a higher efficiency from drive technology. High power applications can offer a quick return on investment by minimising the losses in the drive itself. VLT frequency converters now offer an extremely high efficiency rating of over 98%. The next generation D-Frame version of the VLT Automation Drive, AQUA Drive and HVAC Drive is now available in the 90 to 315kW power range, with improved heat management for increased efficiency.
