Balancing efficiency, durability, and cost in fan systems
Efficiency and sustainability remain top priorities in today’s fan market. ABB delivers a full range of motors and drives built specifically for fan applications, helping you reduce energy use, improve reliability, and stay in control.
Our variable speed drives (VSDs) let you adjust fan speed precisely to match real-time demand, so your systems run only as hard as they need to. That means lower energy bills, quieter operation, and less wear and tear on your fans, valves, and piping, right from start-up. The drives handle various motor technologies on the market, such as induction, permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors.
Whether you're managing HVAC systems, industrial ventilation, or large-scale air handling, ABB’s drives and high-efficiency motors give you the performance and flexibility to meet your goals. You get longer equipment life, reduced operating costs, and a more sustainable operation, all backed by ABB’s global expertise and support.

ABB delivers high-performance motors and drives for HVAC solutions that improve energy efficiency, air quality, and system control. Our solutions optimize fan speed based on real-time demand, reducing energy use by up to 40 percent. ABB drives ensure precise airflow control, enhance indoor comfort, and minimize wear on motors, leading to lower maintenance and operating costs. Seamless integration with building automation systems makes our solutions ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects.
We understand that accurate and reliable control of fans is essential to efficiently provide a flow of air to ventilate mine shafts and to regulate the temperature. Your workers need to have reliable ventilation to keep their working conditions as good as possible. This means that in addition to the temperature control, all toxic and other gasses and particles in the air must be vented out by fresh air.
With our low and medium voltage variable frequency drives you will gain this, and in addition you will eliminate mechanical stresses on fans, pipes and valves in start-up situations. On top of this you can also get substantial energy savings making your processes greener and improving your profitability.
