4 Danfoss Turbocor® TT400 compressors installed on 2 centrifugal chillers

130 AB-QM™ valves and actuators installed on VAV boxes & air handler units

70% lower yearly building energy use and 50% less chiller energy consumption

AB-QM™ valves are easy to select, specify, and use. Valve selection is based on required flow, eliminating the need for excessive design calculation and commissioning processes. In addition Danfoss offers user friendly selection tools to aide in selecting the correct product for your HVAC systems needs.

AB-QM™ valves dynamically balance flow by eliminating overflow, solving low ΔT, and decreasing overall pumping costs. This maximizes energy savings and optimizes system efficiency.

NovoCon® digital actuators are tailor made for AB-QM™ valves and establish the perfect connection between superior hydronic system performance and smart building automation solutions. Remotely access your system for maintenance or commissioning, log data to benchmark and optimize, and allocate energy with advanced energy management features.

For nearly 80 years, Danfoss has been pushing the boundaries of climate and energy technologies and is at the forefront of a new wave of district energy solutions today. Now more than ever, we are working with national and local governments worldwide to engineer district heating and cooling systems that not only deliver superior performance and value today, but create a sustainable platform for tomorrow.

At Danfoss, we develop and produce all  major components for our substations and flat stations in-house. Because we manufacture the key components ourselves, you will benefit from optimized heat transfer and system control performance. Pressure, differential pressure, temperature and flow are integrated and automatically controlled on nearly all Danfoss substations.

Improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and cutting energy bills are ever-growing concerns especially in educational facilities that are often mandated by the government to reduce consumption.

The demand for efficient, renewable, and clean-energy technologies can be achieved with district energy networks.

Our range of traditional plate heat exchangers including gasketed, welded, brazed, and fresh water distillers can be fully customized to match all thermal requirements, including high working pressures, and AHRI certification. In addition our heat exchangers are flexible and efficient with low operational costs. 

Plate patterns have advanced from being “one-size-fits-all” solutions with wide, deep channels that provided inadequate heat transfer, to being designed specifically for the intended application. SONDEX® and Danfoss heat exchangers are always designed and customized in close cooperation with our customers to perfectly match the thermal requirements and specifications of the application and duty.

“We have achieved tangible cash
savings on the upgrade. Additionally, we can also get 20 percent extra power from the current heat exchangers. Consequently, we can connect more
consumers to our grid prior to expanding it with new heat exchangers." Discover how Sondex® heat exchangers helped optimize the city of Aarhus's district heating supply.
