Danfoss has been honored with two Innovation Awards by the 2009 AHR Exposition, receiving the coveted awards in both Cooling and Refrigeration categories. For cooling, the award was given for the Danfoss ApexxTM VSH compressor, the first high-capacity (12 to 40 TR) R-410A variable speed scroll compressor for air conditioning and heat pumps.

The Apexx solution offers continuous matching of cooling capacity to cooling load, resulting in high energy efficiency and enhanced cooling comfort. According to the company’s press release, the AKD 102 Variable Frequency Drive series, which took the Innovation Award for Refrigeration, also matches capacity to load, but is specifically designed for supermarket applications.
