EDISON, N.J. — Fuji Electric Corp. of America announced that it has expanded its portfolio of low-voltage inverters with a new HVAC drive that will be available for shipment next month. The company said the new drive features a slim, space-saving design, real-time clock, embedded BACnet, and all other functions required to independently operate fans and pumps in air conditioning equipment.

“The development of our HVAC drive was based on a demand from our customers around the world for energy saving inverters with superior fan control,” said Sumio Akimatsu, Fuji Electric’s vice president of components for the Americas. “As with all Fuji Electric products, quality was our primary focus, and FRENIC-HVAC was designed for both UL Type 1 and Type 12 installation environments.”

The product will be formally introduced to the company’s U.S. customers at the upcoming AHR Expo in January at New York’s Javits Convention Center, Booth #372. FRENIC-HVAC features an input interface that includes temperature sensors and controllers and a 4PID control function that monitors the external environments particular to air conditioning.
