Episode: Variable Speed Motors and Why They Matter w/ Jamie Kitchen
Description: Jamie Kitchen from Danfoss talks all about variable-speed motor technology. He discusses why those motors exist, what they do, and how to think differently about the future of HVAC/R. Most techs think about variable-speed motors as the X13 and ECM blowers in residential applications. Those motors can adjust their performance based on ambient temperatures and moisture levels. So, variable performance may result in better comfort and efficiency. ECM motors adjust airflow based on sensor inputs, especially dehumidification calls. The sensors may pick up both sensible and latent heat content. Sensible heat is what we...
