Danfoss was presented with the Innovative Star of Energy Efficiency Award during the Alliance to Save Energy’s 23rd annual Evening with the Stars of Energy Efficiency black-tie gala. The dinner and award ceremony was held in Washington, D.C., September 17.
The award recognizes outstanding or unique contributions to energy efficiency with demonstrated, quantifiable, cost-effective energy savings. This year, the award was presented to Danfoss in recognition of its Danfoss Turbocor oil-free, magnetic bearing, variable speed compressor technology for the commercial HVAC market. According to the company, with a compact footprint and oil-free design that reduces maintenance needs and noise, Danfoss Turbocor compressors can improve chiller efficiency by up to 35% compared to a similarly sized fixed-speed screw chiller.
