Infinitum Electric, the creator of the breakthrough air-core motor, has announced at the AHR Expo 2022, a new product line specifically built to support Canadian HVAC fan, pump and general purpose applications.

The new product line is an extension of Infinitum Electric’s IEs Series motors and will be available in the 575V, 5-15 horsepower range in the second half of 2022.

Ultra-high efficiency electric motors

With the addition of the Canadian products, Infinitum Electric is delivering the most comprehensive range of power and frame sizes for the North American HVAC market. The IEs Series offers 10 percent more efficiency and IoT capabilities in a package that is 50 percent lighter and smaller, and significantly quieter than traditional motors.

Having a motor designed specifically for Canada greatly simplifies our engineering process"

To date, Canadian HVAC applications requiring 575V power have largely relied on sub-optimal motor configurations, due to a lack of focus on the specific needs of the Canadian market. HVAC applications have, therefore, used either an EC motor or a transformer to convert power, which adds costs and reduces overall efficiency, or a conventional, lower efficiency AC induction motor and VFD.

Larry Hopkins, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at XNRGY, said “Having a motor designed specifically for Canada greatly simplifies our engineering process and will ultimately help us deliver better products.

Infinitum Electric’s integrated motor and VFD

Larry Hopkins adds, “Infinitum Electric’s integrated motor and VFD gives us the breakthrough levels of efficiency that our customers want, while its smaller size and lightweight design open new possibilities for our development team.

Ivan Campos, Research Analyst at Omdia, said “Infinitum Electric’s advancements in motor efficiency have the potential to spur innovation and reduce energy demand in Canadian HVAC and pump applications.

Featuring PCB stator technology

Ivan Campos adds, “As supply chain issues continue, Infinitum Electric’s simple motor design, materials and PCB stator technology make it easier to source, produce and assemble motors, close to their target market, reducing lead times.

Ben Schuler, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Infinitum Electric, said “We’re excited to expand our footprint and bring our proven IEs Series product line to Canada. We look forward to working with product manufacturers, who are looking to achieve new levels of sustainability for fan, pump and general purpose applications.

AHR Expo 2022

Infinitum Electric is exhibiting its full range of motors for HVAC fan and pump applications at the AHR Expo 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from Jan. 31 - Feb. 2, 2022, at booth C6103, where attendees will be able to speak with company experts on designing products for greater efficiency, reliability and productivity.
