GE Industrial Systems (Fort Wayne, IN) announced its new ECM 84 Series motor, which it says delivers up to 40% greater efficiency than a conventional PSC motor in low-power, air-moving applications.
“With more HRVs [heat recovery ventilators] being built to meet the demand for better indoor air quality, manufacturers are now in need of motors that offer higher efficiency,” said Paul Goldman, business leader for the ECM Group. The new line is designed for the smaller output requirements of energy recovery ventilators, fancoils, small blowers, fan-filter units, and vav terminal units.
