CHICAGO – The AHR Expo show managers announced Danfoss the winner of its 2018 Product of the Year during a presentation of its annual Innovation Awards. The presentation awarded the Innovation Award winners in each of the 10 categories: building automation, cooling, green building, heating, indoor air quality, plumbing, refrigeration, software, tools and instruments, and ventilation. Danfoss’s Turbocor® TTH/TGH High Lift Compressor was the winner in the Green Building category.
“Our foundation is a prior Innovation Award winner,” said John Galyen, president, North America, Danfoss. “It’s magnetic bearing, so it’s an oil-free compressor. It uses centripetal technology, and up until this point, it was primarily targeted at water-cooled chillers. We’re very proud. For Danfoss, innovation is a cornerstone of our brand. This is actually the 27th award we’ve gotten in the last 15 years. We’re proud to be recognized as Product of the Year.”
