ACH 550 Manuals
ABB's drives for HVAC offer an easy, quick, and energy-efficient way to maintain a building's comfort zone. These drives control the speed of pump, fan, and compressor motors used in air handling units, cooling towers, chillers, and other heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. The ACH 550 drives help reduce energy consumption by up to 70% and often pay for themselves in less than a year. With over 600,000 ACH 550 drives for HVAC globally, these highly reliable drives easily integrate into building management systems via built-in BACnet. The drives are globally stocked for quick delivery.
The user interface is designed with the simplicity and intuitiveness of a mobile phone, making drive startup quick and easy. Configuring the drive for ACH 550 HVAC applications takes only seconds using the application macros that come standard with the drive. The drive's seamless connection to building management systems through embedded communication protocols, its wide range of inputs and outputs for cost-effective integration into HVAC systems, and easy adaptation to future upgrades are all facilitated.
The ACH 550 Drive is pre-programmed with several HVAC applications, including supply and return fans, cooling tower fans, booster pumps, and condensers. The intelligence in the HVAC control panel provides the user with direct and understandable instructions in plain text at all times.
Harmonics and RFI emissions are significant concerns within many HVAC installations. ABB's drive for HVAC meets demanding requirements for electromagnetic compatibility. An oscillating choke cuts harmonic emissions by up to 25%.
Improved Energy Efficiency with a Smaller Carbon Footprint
One of the biggest benefits of using ACH 550 drives for HVAC applications is the opportunity for energy savings over fixed-speed motors or traditional flow control methods. Instead of continuously running an electric motor at full speed, an AC drive offers the user the ability to control the motor speed in an infinitely variable manner, depending on demand.
In HVAC applications, especially for pumps and fans, AC drives can cut the energy bill by up to 70%. Hence, ABB is a world leader in assessing the energy-saving potential within the HVAC sector.
ABB offers energy assessments along with a suite of energy-saving tools and calculators embedded within the drives. These assessments can quickly identify where and how much energy can be saved. By reducing motor speed by 20%, the required power can be cut by up to 50%.
Moreover, ABB's drives for HVAC often offer a return on investment based solely on energy savings within a few months.
Intelligent and Intuitive AC Drives for Improved Energy Efficiency
For over 45 years, ABB has delivered millions of AC drives worldwide. In 2013, these drives reduced electricity consumption by 400 TWh (400 billion kWh), equivalent to the average annual electricity consumption of over 100 million European households. This corresponds to a reduction of approximately 340 million tons of CO2 emissions.
A Clean Standard Against Dirty Electricity - IEC/EN 61000-3-12
ABB's drive for HVAC meets IEC/EN 61000-3-12 and carries the manufacturer's written declaration of compliance. This means safety and simplicity for specifying engineers and facility managers.
This European standard sets strict limits for harmonic currents produced by products connected to the electricity network. Harmonic currents are forms of pollution in the electricity network. Harmonics can cause many undesirable effects, such as flickering lights, failed computers, and overheating of electrical equipment.
24/7/365 Operation Up to 50 °C Ambient Temperature
Ambient temperatures affect the output performance of each drive. The hotter it is outside - or inside the cabinet where the drive is mounted - the less current the drive can deliver. This means the designer must select the drive based on the peak temperature.
To facilitate selection, the same output current values for both IP21 and IP54 units are available at different ambient temperatures."
