Invertek Drives is using the EuroShop 2023 event in Germany to highlight how variable frequency drives are now a crucial part of compressor control for energy efficiency in refrigeration.
The manufacturer is exhibiting its Optidrive VFD range targeted at refrigeration applications, including Coolvert, a high-performance drive specifically for BLDC compressors, heat pumps and CDUs.
“The food and beverage sector is a significant user of refrigeration systems, from transportation and cold rooms to retail display cases. Traditional on/off compressor systems are less efficient than modern compressor systems using VFDs,” said Mike Carman, executive business development manager, HVAC-R at Invertek Drives.
“The ability to control refrigeration compressors with VFDs means you have a compressor speed matching the changing system demand. This increases the system’s efficiency and lowers energy consumption.”
