Industries — HVAC & Chillers

HVAC & Chillers.
Power electronics built for the refrigeration cycle.

Co-designed motor drives and active front end inverters for compressor-driven HVAC and chiller systems — 50 kW to 500 kW. IEEE 519 compliance built in. Refrigerant-cooled power electronics. Targeting Daikin, Carrier, Trane, Johnson Controls, and XNRGY.

The Problem

Why incumbent drives fail
chiller OEMs.

Danfoss FC102 and ABB ACS880 are general-purpose variable frequency drives adapted for chiller use. They are not co-designed with the refrigeration cycle. They require external harmonic filters. They cannot be refrigerant-cooled. They cost 40–60% more than a purpose-built India-manufactured alternative. Power Flux AI designs the drive and the Active Front End as one integrated system — no external filters, refrigerant-cooled power stage, THDi <3% built in.

"The founder spent years at Daikin Applied Americas designing exactly these systems — 500 kW air-cooled and 1 MW water-cooled chillers. We have lived this problem. We know where the incumbent solutions fall short."
