Infinitum Electric, creator of the breakthrough printed circuit board (PCB) motor, has announced the first product shipment from its revolutionary line of IoT-enabled electric motors to Comefri USA, a globally renowned HVAC fan original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Twenty-five trillion kilowatt hours of electricity are consumed per year, of which 45 percent is consumed by electric motors. This leaves a significant opportunity for many industries, including HVAC, to develop or replace machines using traditional motors with more efficient electric motors, which consume far less energy. Infinitum Electric is enabling this transition with its IEs series of motors.
IEs205 10 horsepower motor
The company’s IEs205 10 horsepower motor will be used by Comefri USA, to power more efficient, space-saving commercial plenum fans, used in commercial and industrial buildings, so as to deliver more sustainable heating and cooling airflow, and helps fight climate change.
Infinitum Electric’s award-winning electric motors meet the industry’s highest standards for efficiency and are significantly quieter than the competition. By replacing traditional iron and copper wire winding components with an IoT-enabled circuit board, Infinitum Electric motors are not only smaller, quieter and up to 50% lighter, but they have fewer structural requirements than others on the market.
Cloud-connected IoT capabilities
The motor’s cloud-connected IoT capabilities enable remote monitoring of key operational data
Additionally, the motor’s cloud-connected IoT capabilities enable remote monitoring of key operational data, such as power, speed and temperature for superior smart building and HVAC equipment intelligence.
Over-the-air software updates to motors also enable customers to benefit from new features and enhance existing efficiency, and operations.
Integrated control, EC motor technology
Sylvie Braun, the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Comefri USA, said “Infinitum Electric’s motor provides Comefri USA’s independent design team with access to the latest high horsepower, integrated control, EC motor technology for projects of all sizes, in a robust, and field repairable package.”
Sylvie Braun adds, “We’re excited to lead the way in innovative, environmentally-responsible HVAC design and look forward to the impact it will have in the marketplace.”
Common printed circuit board (PCB) technology
Unlike 20 week lead times required by other motor competitors, Infinitum Electric’s motors can be manufactured with common printed circuit board (PCB) technology, drastically reducing the cost and complexity involved in motor manufacturing. Once production is fully ramped, Infinitum Electric’s standard lead time will be less than six weeks.
Ben Schuler, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Infinitum Electric, said “Much like an LED light bulb, our next-generation, integrated electric motors help HVAC customers like Comefri stand out, as the planet’s most sustainable choice to power the world’s heating and cooling systems.”
Infinitum Electric to ramp up production
Ben Schuler adds, “In addition to being the responsible choice for our environment, they contribute to a much lower cost of ownership over time. We’re thrilled to achieve this major milestone of shipping our first product and look forward to ramping up production to deliver a myriad of units in the coming years for customers in the HVAC, home appliance, electric vehicle and other industries.”
