VLT HVAC Drive FC 102 – Energy-Efficient Motor Control for Reliable Climate Management

VLT HVAC Drive FC 102 – Smart, Efficient Control for Building Automation

The VLT HVAC Drive FC 102 from Danfoss is a high-performance variable frequency drive (VFD) engineered specifically for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. Designed with intelligent features and built-in energy-saving functions, it provides precise control of fans, pumps, and compressors—ensuring comfort, efficiency, and reliability across commercial and industrial buildings.

 Key Features:

• Optimized for HVAC Systems
  Tailored to meet the specific needs of HVAC applications, the FC 102 offers built-in functions such as PID control, fire override mode, and automatic energy optimization—eliminating the need for external PLCs or controllers.

• Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
  With intelligent motor control, the VLT HVAC Drive significantly reduces energy consumption, especially in variable torque applications. It supports IE2, IE3, and permanent magnet motors to help meet stringent energy standards.

• Flexible Communication & Integration
  Seamless integration with building management systems (BMS) is possible through support for BACnet, Modbus, LON, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet protocols. This ensures centralized control and real-time system feedback.

• User-Friendly Interface & Commissioning
  The easy-to-use graphical display, pre-configured HVAC macros, and guided setup wizard simplify installation and reduce commissioning time—even for complex systems.

• Robust & Reliable Operation
  Engineered for long service life in demanding environments, the FC 102 includes conformal coated PCBs, RFI filters, and advanced protection features to ensure uninterrupted operation in critical HVAC systems.

 Applications:

• Air handling units (AHUs)

• Chillers and cooling towers

• Exhaust and supply fans

• Pump control for chilled or hot water systems

• Variable air volume (VAV) systems

• Energy management in commercial buildings, hospitals, airports, malls, and more
