ABB India introduces next gen compact drive specialized for HVACR systems

ABB's new drive is designed for commercial buildings such as data centers, hotels, and shopping malls

  • By ICN Bureau | February 16, 2024

ABB India launches its next generation compact drive, ACH180, for HVACR (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration) equipment. As the newest addition to ABB's HVACR drive portfolio, the ACH180 enables expert control of high-efficiency motors, while utilizing a compact design for space savings, lower capital expenditure and easier commissioning.

With the current climate impact, there is a rising need for effective heating and cooling systems in India. While it is crucial that these systems have a sharp focus on boosting comfort and safety, they must also ensure energy savings, in line with the country's ambitious plans to reduce emissions.

"The launch of this new drive is a great addition to our portfolio of all-compatible drives. This also reflects our efforts to really focus on offering energy-efficient solutions to highly energy intensive industries while ensuring that the solution meets the industry-specific needs," said A.R. Madhusudan, President, Drive Products, ABB India.

ABB's new drive is designed for commercial buildings such as data centers, hotels, and shopping malls. The ACH180 drive's design will allow operators to run motors based on the HVACR process demands, rather than running them at full speed and reducing output using mechanical controls like throttles or dampers. This greatly decreases energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
