Does it support variable capacity or inverter control?
Yes. Aurashu screw-type chiller and heat pump units fully support advanced variable capacity control solutions, including stepped capacity regulation and optional inverter (VFD) control, designed to meet the dynamic load demands of modern commercial and industrial HVAC systems.
1. Variable Capacity Control for Real Operating Conditions
Aurashu screw chillers are engineered to operate efficiently across a wide load range. Unlike fixed-capacity systems that frequently start and stop, Aurashu units regulate cooling or heating output to closely match real-time building demand. This significantly improves part-load efficiency, reduces energy waste, and enhances system stability.
Capacity modulation is achieved through:
Slide valve or volume ratio (Vi) control within the screw compressor
Multi-step unloading (e.g., 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%)
Smart PLC logic that continuously adjusts capacity based on water temperature, pressure, and system load
This approach ensures smooth transitions during load changes and prevents temperature fluctuations in critical environments such as data centers, hospitals, and industrial processes.
2. Optional Inverter (VFD) Control for Maximum Energy Savings
For projects with highly variable loads or strict energy-efficiency targets, Aurashu offers inverter-driven screw chiller solutions. By integrating a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), the compressor motor speed is continuously adjusted rather than operating at a fixed speed.
Key advantages of inverter control include:
Precise output matching to actual cooling/heating demand
Lower starting current, reducing electrical stress on the power grid
Significantly improved IPLV and seasonal efficiency
Reduced mechanical wear, extending compressor service life
At partial loads—where most HVAC systems operate for the majority of the year—inverter-controlled units can achieve substantial energy savings compared to conventional on/off or stepped systems.
3. Intelligent System Integration and Control Flexibility
Aurashu variable-capacity and inverter chillers are equipped with intelligent control platforms that support:
Real-time load monitoring
Automatic capacity optimization
Remote monitoring and fault diagnostics
Integration with BMS protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, or LonWorks
This allows facility managers to fine-tune performance, reduce operational costs, and maintain optimal comfort or process conditions with minimal manual intervention.
4. Custom Control Strategies for Different Applications
Aurashu understands that different projects require different control philosophies. Variable capacity and inverter solutions can be customized based on:
Building type and usage pattern
Climate conditions
Electrical infrastructure
Redundancy and reliability requirements
Whether the application is a large commercial complex, industrial plant, pharmaceutical facility, or data center, Aurashu engineers tailor the control strategy to ensure efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance.
5. Long-Term Operational Benefits
By supporting variable capacity and inverter control, Aurashu screw chillers deliver:
Lower annual energy consumption
Reduced operating noise
Improved temperature stability
Extended equipment lifespan
Faster return on investment (ROI)
These advantages make Aurashu solutions particularly suitable for projects pursuing green building certifications, energy cost optimization, or high-performance HVAC system design.
