Delta Showcases Highly Efficient Automation Products and Control Technology for Building and HVAC Solutions at AHR Expo 2019

Delta has just participated in the AHR Expo 2019 with the theme of building automation and control from January 14th to 16th in the U.S. city of Atlanta. Delta showcased energy efficient solutions for building automation from its subsidiaries Delta Controls Inc. and LOYTEC. The highlighted advanced automation products included the Fan/Pump Vector Control Drive CP2000 Series, Compact Drive M300 Series, and the Multifunction Power Meter DPM Series for highly efficient HVAC solutions and smart, green building automation solutions.

The AHR Expo is considered a major event for the air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration industry in North America. This year, around 2,100 exhibitors and over 60,000 visitors participated in the grand exhibition. Over half of the exhibitors expect a 10% growth in the HVAC market this year. Delta, seeing the opportunities, presented many new products for building automation and HVAC systems with its abundant experience and solid R&D capabilities. The Delta booth attracted many visitors during the 3-day event.

Delta's highlighted automation products for HVAC systems included:

Fan/Pump Vector Control Drive CP2000 Series is an advanced, versatile, and energy-saving sensor-less vector control drive for fan and pump applications. Available in 230, 480, 600, 690VAC inputs and power ratings from 1HP to 840 HP, the CP2000 is perfect for fans, pumps, and HVAC applications. It supports multi-pumps synchronous control of up to 8 motors at one time, and features PID control, sleep/wake up functions, flying start and frequency-hopping functions. In addition, the CP2000 features built-in Modbus and BACnet connectivity. This allows for integration with Delta's control technologies, such as the Delta Controls eZVFD, an entiliZONE VFD controller module. This pairing reduces hardware and wiring, while enabling remote commissioning, adding onboard intelligence, and allowing for off-site drive configuration. All these benefits simplify building networks and save time and money during installation.

Compact Drive M300 Series is Delta's latest AC motor drive, featuring max. power range of 22kW/30hp (high performance type) and built-in PLC functions (5k steps). It is compact in size with up to 40~60% size reduction compared to Delta's other models; the width and height of the smaller M300 is almost the same size as a smart phone, saving installation space for customers.

Multifunction Power Meter DPM Series provides precise measurement and monitoring for energy usage and quality in parameter groupings, and uploads data to host controllers and a management platform via RS-485 or Modbus. The DPM Series allows fast data transmission and short reading time by PLCs, enhancing system efficiency.
