VLT® HVAC Drive

as a simple AHU Controller


Initial cost benefits

„ No need of starters

„ No need of PF correction capacitors

„ No need of motor protection relays,


MPCBs etc.

„ No need of auto / manual selectors

„ No need of metering equipment (Hz /


Volts / amperes etc.)

„ Lower cable and fuse rating – to match


the FLC only – not for starting current

Display of controlled
parameters

„ Display on local control panel can be


used to measure and display
– temperature, in oC
– pressure, in PSI or kg/cm2
– IAQ, in ppm
– Energy, in kWh
– Current, in A
– Voltage, in V
– etc.

„ Can be used to display all controlled


parameters like Supply air temperature,
Return air temperature, IAQ, RH if
appropriate sensors are connected

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 3


Drive serves as the AHU
panel
„ Selection of IP 55 enclosure with
disconnect available to be used as AHU
panel

„ IP 55 enclosure eliminates need of an


electrical panel to house the VFD

„ Input disconnect switch on VFD


eliminates an additional accessory - the
switch / isolator required as per Indian
Electricity Rules

„ No need of additional controls and


protection for the motor like thermal
over load relays,MPCB etc.

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 4


Drive serves as controller
for valves and dampers
„ 4 x PID loops available

„ Used to control external HVAC devices


like Chilled water valve, humidifier,
dampers etc.
„ Stand alone control by drive
„ Drive can be used as an AHU controller
in simple applications

„ Eliminates the need of additional PID


controllers
„ Eliminates DDC in simple control
applications

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 5


Built in HVAC application
settings

„ Built in application settings for fan,


pump and compressor

„ Do not need programming after


manufacturing

„ Settings based on Danfoss’ more than


40 years experience

„ Programming do not depend on


engineer’s independent knowledge

„ Increases system efficiency and saves


energy

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 6


Multi Zone control

„ Controls a very large air-conditioned


area on average of signals (temp /
pressure)

„ Useful in VAV / CAV AHUs and


Secondary pumps

„ Capable of connecting upto 3 nos signal


inputs w/o any additional controller

„ Can work on average / maximum /


minimum values or set point or
multizone maximum / minimum.

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 7


In built IEC 61800-3, Class
C1 EMC filters
„ Will eliminate interference with other
electronic equipment

„ A must for critical facilities like Data


Centers, IT parks, Hospitals, Airports
etc.

„ VLT® HVAC Drive offers built-in EMC


filters as per following specifications as
per site requirement:
– Class C1, 50 m
– Class C1, 10 m
– Class C2, 50 m
– Class C3, 150 m
– Class C3, 5m /25 m

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 8


Inbuilt Harmonic Filters

„ Reduces harmonic currents generated


by VFDs to acceptable limits

„ Example
– mains current – 38.57 A
– Drive without harmonic filter,
mains current = 55.8 A
– Drive with inbuilt harmonic filter,
mains current = 39. 5 A

„ VLT® HVAC Drive comes inbuilt with DC


harmonic filters

„ No need to add additional AC input


chokes

Automatic Energy
Optimisation (AEO)

„ 95% of the HVAC motors are under


loaded

„ Differential torque produced by the


motor is wasted as heat.

„ AEO function matches torque


production and demand

„ Saves energy even at full speed running

„ Betters equipment efficiency

„ Increases energy savings

„ Typical savings are between 5-15%

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 10


Automatically adapts to
installed motor

„ Motors on the fan / pump may be new,


old or rewound

„ Based on the above, motor


characteristics can change

„ Drive automatically registers installed


motor’s characteristics

„ Increases drive + motor system


efficiency

„ Reduces energy consumption

| Confidential/Property of Danfoss Drives A/S | Thursday, 21 August, 2008 | JSP-INSC | 11
