Industry Leadership
We are an industry leader in PMAC motors, controls, and power transmission products for the commercial HVAC industry. We have over 75 years of expertise delivering innovations to the HVAC industry in ECM, axial, and radial flux motor technology, VFDs, bearings, sheaves, and belts.
HVAC Applications
Chillers and Condensers
Chillers and condensers play a vital role in commercial HVAC cooling systems. Chillers operate by extracting heat from liquids, typically used to cool spaces like commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and data centers. Condensers complement this by rejecting the extracted heat and converting refrigerants from gas to liquid. These condensers can be air-cooled, water-cooled, or evaporative, depending on system design. Working together, chillers and condensers ensure proper temperature regulation for energy-efficient operation in commercial buildings and industrial processes, which is essential for comfort, equipment protection, and process efficiency.
