Anyone can call their inverter an HVAC drive, but the ACH550 has been developed specifically for HVAC systems using ABB’s experience of over thirty years in the industry. With more than 500,000 drives for HVAC installed globally, these highly reliable drives with built-in BACnet easily integrate into building management systems. Installing ACH550 makes […]
An independent guide is to assist the users with selecting the best motor and control technology for a given application has been produced by UK Trade Association GAMBICA. It addresses the differences in motor efficiency ratings; different control methods, and the decision process for fixed or variable speed control. The International Electrotechnical Commission […]
Variable-flow chilled water systems Many installed air conditioners use chilled water system and by installing ABB UK ACH550-01 inverter drives maintain higher comfort zones and reduce operating costs. Chilled water supply temperatures typically range from 5 – 10°C and the return water temperature is 5 – 10°C higher. This temperature increase resulting from the […]
Using ABB UK inverter drives in buildings for speed control of pumps, fans and compressors provides an effective way to improve air quality and optimise energy use. The ABB ACH550-01 HVAC drives have ratings up to 160kW and provide users with ready-made macros for the most common HVAC applications such as pumps, fans and […]
Solar panels using ABB ACS55 inverters to track the sun will increase the productivity of solar power plants by up to 30 %. From sunrise to sunset active trackers use an electric motor system to turn the panel to maximise the sun’s energy. Tracking the sun The most common solar tracker is pole mounted, […]
