If you have and are using an HVAC system, it is not operating efficiently and optimally to save energy. Then you definitely need to know about this Yaskawa Z1000 inverter product line.
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter is a special inverter product line designed for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) applications, including control of fans, pumps, and air handling equipment.
Outstanding features of the Yaskawa Z1000 inverter
Energy saving
Through sophisticated, advanced control mechanisms and algorithms and performance optimization features. Yaskawa Z1000 inverters can reduce energy consumption in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. Specifically:
- Control the fan and pump motor speed according to actual demand to reduce power consumption because the motor power consumption is proportional to the cube of the speed (a 20% speed reduction can reduce power consumption by up to 50%).
- The energy-saving mode automatically optimizes the output voltage for maximum efficiency, especially when the system load is low. It helps the system operate smoothly and minimizes energy consumption without affecting performance.
- The Z1000 inverter integrates a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller to adjust pressure, flow, and temperature precisely.
- Eliminate energy loss due to starting and braking with soft start and soft stop: In conventional HVAC systems, when the motor starts and stops, it consumes a lot of energy due to the large starting current.
- Reduces excess pressure loss by adjusting motor speed at flow regulators or valves based on actual flow, reducing the need for mechanical regulators.
- The Z1000 drives keep pumps and fans running efficiently, avoiding unnecessary energy waste.
- Sleep mode in both closed-loop and open-loop control completely reduces idle energy consumption.
Wide power range
The power range of the Yaskawa Z1000 inverter is wide and suitable for many different HVAC system sizes, from small to large, in buildings, industrial plants, and large infrastructures.
- Voltage level 200 ~ 240 Vac: Capacity from 3 ~ 150 Hp
- Voltage level 380 ~ 480 Vac: Capacity from 3 ~ 500 Hp
- Voltage level 500 ~ 600 Vac: Capacity from 2 ~ 250 Hp
Integrate special features
Excellent harmonic cancellation
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter has good harmonic suppression capabilities, ensuring stable power system operation and minimizing problems related to harmonic interference. This capability is demonstrated through integrated features and designs:
- Integrated 5% line impedance to reduce input harmonics, improving power quality.
- Integrated EMI/RFI noise filter meeting IEC 61800-3 standards helps to minimize electromagnetic interference and the impact of harmonics on surrounding electronic devices.
- Yaskawa Z1000 inverter complies with international harmonic standards such as IEEE 519, ensuring that HVAC applications using Z1000 will not cause serious harmonic problems in the electrical system of the building or factory.
Support multiple communication protocols
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter supports many popular communication protocols, especially those commonly used in HVAC and building automation systems. Such as:
- BACnet is the standard communication protocol for Building Management Systems (BMS).
- Modbus RTU makes connecting and communicating with PLCs and other control systems easy.
- Johnson Controls Metasys N2 Building Management System.
- Apogee FLN (Field Level Network) protocol.
The Yaskawa Z1000 supports additional communication protocols through optional expansion modules, including LonWorks Interface, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP/IP.
Thanks to this, the Yaskawa Z1000 inverter is highly compatible with many building management and control systems, making connecting and controlling HVAC equipment in complex environments easy.
Real-time clock integration
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter has the ability to record date and time by event and is combined with a timer controller to start, stop, and change the speed of the motor without external control.
Integrated PID control
The Z1000 inverter incorporates a PID controller that maintains setpoints for closed-loop control of fans and pumps to precisely regulate pressure, flow, and temperature. This eliminates the need for closed-loop output signals from the BAS system.
Equipped with NEMA12 standard sealed heat sink
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter is equipped with a NEMA 12 sealed heatsink, which protects the device from dust, small particles, and oil vapors. Thanks to that, the Z1000 can be used in factories, workshops, or harsh industrial environments.
Multi-level control mode
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter is also equipped with a multi-level control mode, allowing simultaneous control of multiple devices in the same HVAC system, helping to improve operating efficiency and save energy.
Friendly interface, easy to use
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter uses a 5-line, 16-character alphanumeric LCD display that is easy to read and understand with Hand-Off-Auto functions. It integrates 7 different languages and has the ability to copy parameter-setting data.
Safe and durable
Yaskawa Z1000 inverter is equipped with a comprehensive protection system, helping to protect both the inverter and the motor from overcurrent, overload, overheating, phase loss, low voltage, etc., ensuring stable and safe operation for the system.
The Z1000’s manufacturing materials comply with the RoHS directive, making it safe and environmentally friendly.
In addition, Z1000 can work in temperature conditions of -10 °C to 40 °C, humidity of 0% to 95% non-condensing, working altitude up to 1000m, and water and dust resistance standard IP20.
Smooth operation
The Yaskawa Z1000 inverter has a 5 kHz carrier frequency with a dynamic noise control function for smooth motor operation.
In addition, the application of vector control technology also helps the product control torque and motor speed accurately, minimizing unwanted oscillations and vibrations.
The soft start function helps the motor start-up process to be slower and smoother.
