Emerson Control Techniques HVACR Drive Solutions

Emerson is the world leader in providing a vast array of products and services dedicated to HVACR customers. Emerson pioneered the AC ventilation business in 1895 when it introduced the first AC electric ceiling fans.

Our HVAC-R  solutions include packaged products; electronic bypass, active front end, 18 Pulse for harmonic mitigation/reduction which all employ either our flagship Affinity VFD for building automation or our Commander HSK VFD for specific purpose applications like simplex and multiplex pumping or our soft starters. Our Variable speed and variable frequency AC drives are efficient and save significant energy especially when it comes to centrifugal fan and pump applications. HVAC-R applications that are suited for our solution include; Air Conditioning, Cooling Towers- Nema 3R, Chilled Water Pumps, Exhaust Fans and Air Handling.

Our HVAC-R drive solutions provide efficient and reliable motor, pump and system control that increase uptime while reducing your maintenance and energy costs. For visitors that are not familiar with our HVAC-R drive solutions, they are also referred to as; ac motor speed controls, adjustable frequency controls, adjustable frequency drives, building automation drives, frequency drives, motor control drives, motor speed controllers, variable frequency drives, vfd, vfd drives, variable air volume drives and variable frequency controls, variable speed drives used to control variable speed motors. Our drives often times are called fan drives or pumps drives as when used in HVACR applications our drives are most often used to control fan and pump motors.

 

Overview

Innovative design, engineering excellence and quality products have made Emerson the longest continuous manufacturer of ceiling fans and motors. These attributes and Emerson’s value propostion to customers—“Consider it solved,” have grown Emerson into a $20 billion company with over 60 divisions serving consumers and industry worldwide.

Energy Savings

Variable Torque Load Characteristics

Affintiy Law torque chart
NOTE: At 50% Speed (Flow) the theoretical Power consumption is only 12.5% of rated.

 

Underlying every climate control application is Emerson's superior motor technology. In fact, Emerson is a leading producer of both air moving motors for residential and industrial applications, and hermetic motors for refrigeration and air conditioning compressors.

AFFINITY LAWS
  • Volume Flow is proportional to fan speed
  • Pressure proportional to the speed squared
  • Power used proportional to the speed cubed
  • Audible noise proportional to speed to 5th Power

Fans exhibit the best savings for the reasons shown:

  • In VVC systems, Volume is proportional to speed, while power is a function of speed cubed
  • Thus for half volume, we need half speed and one eighth power
  • Significant noise reduction is another strong benefit in many systems

Spare Me the Bypass

Our "Spare Me the Bypass" program offers both short- and long-term savings.

The use of a bypass with a fan or pump drive is an expensive habit that persists only in North America, said Jim Chmielewski, HVAC Manager for Control Techniques. “Years ago it made sense, but today our HVAC drives are both extremely reliable and easy to swap out,” he said explaining the company’s “Spare the Bypass” energy and cost savings program.
