Control Techniques Drives, an Emerson division, has launched AFFINITY – a new range of heating ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) drives focused especially on the needs of the Building Automation Industry world-wide. AFFINITY is the result of new and wide-ranging customer research into the rapidly changing needs of the Building Automation World.
This rugged, compact, energy-efficient and cost-effective drive family is aimed to appeal to consultants, HVAC OEMs and contractors, building owners and building operators, by offering significant advantages.
Rated up to 132 kW, with models available in 200 V up to 690 V, AFFINITY is offered in both IP20 and IP54 formats with BACnet, Metasys N2 and Modbus communications all integrated as standard along with LonWorks as a simple plug in option.
AFFINITY is the company's first drive to be backed by the HVAC research
"As an industry leader in drives, Control Techniques has always invested significantly in researching drive market requirements, listening to customers and then designing products with clear customer advantage. This was never more the case than with AFFINITY" says John Murphy, vice president Strategic Planning, at Control Techniques. “The all new AFFINITY range offers customers what they need to run their business both efficiently and effectively, with quick installation and start-ups, all while saving money."
The AFFINITY specification includes the industry recognised Fireman's mode operation, easy to use LCD keypad with hands-off-auto control plus dual PID loops that can be used for temperature or pressure control. Easy programming is from either Control Technique's PC tools or memory card.
Emerson Climate Technologies, a business that specialises in all types of conditioning processes and operating predominantly within the HVAC world-wide market, earned revenues of $3,6B in 2007. Control Techniques, working with Emerson Climate Technologies, is developing synergies that will aid its own drives business, using AFFINITY, in this important sector.
