Danfoss introduces the iC7-HVACR – a new, groundbreaking product portfolio that brings together variable speed drives, ultra low-harmonic drives, and bypasses. Built on 35 years of HVACR expertise and a proven track record of 6 million installed drives in HVACR applications, the iC7-HVACR combines intelligence, efficiency, ease of use, and reliability to deliver unmatched performance for today’s indoor climate and infrastructure demands.
“We know that modern HVACR applications require more than just the ability to provide high quality indoor air and a high level of comfort,” said Ryan Drabek, product marketing manager, Americas, at Danfoss Drives. “They must also play their part in addressing rising energy costs, cyber security threats, critical power demands, and much more. The iC7-HVACR is engineered to exceed the increasing needs of our HVAC customers.”
Setting a new standard with a full HVACR portfolio.
The new iC7-HVACR variable speed drives, ultra low-harmonic drives, and bypasses deliver unmatched performance for indoor climate and infrastructure demands.
All iC7-HVACR drives come with built-in intelligence, enabling the drive to become the controller with integrated sensors, new add-on sensor types, HVACR specific functions, and powerful analytics to streamline and reduce complexity in building management systems (BMS). The embedded crypto chip provides advanced security protection against cyber threats, while efficient back-channel cooling eliminates up to 90% of heat loss from enclosures and electrical rooms.
Uptime is maximized with a range of features designed to reduce motor wear and protect components. Predictive maintenance with closed-loop, Edge powered condition-based monitoring means prompt engagement with a service engineer before an issue arises.
Additionally, the iC7-HVACR ultra low-harmonic variant with an integrated active rectifier delivers exceptional THDi (<3%) and minimal losses – ideal for IEEE 519 applications requiring superior power quality. Advanced 3-Level, silicon carbide (SiC) IGBT technology allows for a compact, lightweight, and easily integrated drive package.
Completing the iC7-HVACR portfolio is the iC7-HVACR Bypass, offering advanced intelligence, strong performance, and unmatched reliability and uptime through its integrated iC7-HVACR platform control. With built-in sensors and software, users gain features such as power measurement, electronic overload functionality, and both status and control through the Building Management System (BMS) to ensure operational continuity regardless of operating mode. Engineered to meet the strict requirements of UL61800‑5‑1, the iC7-HVACR Bypass sets a new standard in the HVACR industry.
“The iC7-HVACR Bypass is designed to help our customers work smarter and faster—whether you’re installing, commissioning, or operating the system long term,” said Joe Horn, iC7-HVACR Bypass product owner. “Its compact footprint, centralized wiring, and intuitive start‑up wizard optimize your efficiency, while providing uncompromised uptime and reliability. The result is a seamless experience for our partners and end users, peace of mind, and reduced total cost of ownership.”
