Variable frequency drives are used in building automation, industrial, pumping, agricultural, irrigation and water/wastewater applications to control the speed of fans and pumps in these various systems. 

​

Upgrading with VFDs is a major component of the EPA's effort to improve the efficiency of energy. 

​

The average return of investment on the installation of a variable frequency drive is 6 months to 2 years as a result of our Competitive Pricing and an Energy Savings -- of up to 80%!

Variable Frequency Drives allow for the precise matching of the speed of motor-driven equipment to the load requirement, thereby reducing energy consumption by as much as 50%. There is no other method of AC electric motor control that allows you to accomplish this.

​

Energy usage in a typical office building costs the owner between $1 to $3 per square foot. Air handling systems account for approximately 25% and cooling systems for about 14% of the electricity consumed. These systems represent key focus areas for cost reduction. You have the means of reducing air handling and cooling energy costs by 20%.

 

For a 100,000 sq. ft. building, total savings can range from $10,000 to $30,000 every year.
The key to savings is the judicious use of variable frequency drives.

​​

There are numerous benefits of having VFDs, to name a few:

​

• Benefit from additional mechanical savings due to less wear on your existing equipment

• Improved systems performance means Reduced Downtime

• Variable speed drives result in Reduced Equipment Noise in the building

• Accurate and Repeatable Control of HVAC Settings mean you won’t have frequent readjustments

• Variable speed drives are “Green” and environmentally-friendly. By controlling your applications with a VFD drive from Yaskawa, you can save significant energy and greatly reduce carbon footprint and operating cost.
