Case Applications

Danfoss in the Field

Commercial Office Tower — HVAC Balancing & Control

A 38-story mixed-use development in northern Europe integrated Danfoss AB-QM pressure-independent control valves across 420 fan coil units. The result was a measurable reduction in pump energy and elimination of seasonal recommissioning cycles — confirmed through BMS data logging over 18 months of operation.

Products used: AB-QM Valves, AME actuators, ECL Comfort controllers

Cold Chain Logistics Hub — CO₂ Transcritical System

A regional food distribution center running on CO₂ transcritical refrigeration deployed Danfoss Pack Controller AK-PC 783 and ML3 expansion valves across 12 display cases and 4 cold rooms. The system maintains -18°C frozen and +4°C chilled zones with alarm-managed setpoint control.

CO₂ performance data is site-specific. Actual energy savings vary by ambient temperature, system load profile, and installation quality.

Products used: AK-PC 783, ML3 valves, ICS modulating valves

Heavy Excavator OEM — Closed-Loop Hydraulic Drive

A European construction equipment manufacturer selected the Danfoss H1 closed-circuit axial piston pump and H1B motor for the primary drive circuit on a 35-tonne excavator platform. The variable displacement design delivers responsive power on demand while enabling regenerative lowering energy recovery.

Products used: H1 pump, H1B motor, PVG32 proportional valve bank
