ABB Centrifugal Chiller Motor Control.

A typical commercial HVAC system has 50% of the installed motor horsepower located in the pump and fan systems. ABB has been the leader applying Variable Frequency Drives to these HVAC applications for years (Chilled water pumps, cooling towers, and air handlers). We are now pleased to announce that we have a product that will allow you to save energy on the remaining 50% of the installed building horsepower. The compressor motor of Centrifugal Chiller accounts for up to 50% of the installed motor horsepower in your HVAC system. If your chiller is not fully loaded 100% of the time, you could be wasting a considerable amount of energy. Ask your ABB Representative about this exciting offering today.

Benefits
Lower Energy Costs Reduces peak Demand Charges Retrofit, or new installations of all major centrifugal chillers 200 - 6000 ton chillers Increases Chiller Life Soft Start of compressor motor Reduces Chiller Maintenance Tighter chilled water temp control, +/- 0.1 F Improved Motor Protection The ABB Centrifugal Chiller Control combines a microprocessor controlled adjustable speed drive with a dedicated chiller capacity controller. The chiller drive monitors the chilled water supply, return temperature, and lube oil temperature, as well as the speed and load conditions of the chiller. It then provides an optimum blend of compressor motor speed and inlet guide vane positioning. The result: Lower electrical costs, and reduced maintenance.
