Rockwell Automation Launches Energy Saving Package

The new Allen-Bradley FanMaster energy saving package from Rockwell Automation allows users to convert a constant volume heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) air handler to variable air flow without changes to existing mechanical systems and controls.  

HVAC systems consume a large amount of a building’s operating costs. It makes sense to ensure these systems are running as efficiently as possible. Many HVAC systems use constant volume air-handling units with simple on/off controls. Upgrading a user’s constant volume air handler to variable flow allows the user to save energy by being able to control the speed of the fan.

Converting a constant flow HVAC system to a variable air flow system used to be a complex and costly task. With the FanMaster energy saving package, that is no longer the case with its integrated control – designed to deliver more energy savings at a fraction of the cost when compared to a traditional hardware retrofit conversion.
