Infinitum, the creator of the innovative air-core motor, has announced that its Aircore EC motor system has been awarded the 2024 Excellence in Product Engineering Award by Engineered Systems in the Motors and Drives category.
This prestigious awards program honors the most innovative products designed with HVAC engineers in mind across eight categories: Commercial Controls/BAS/BIM, Cooling Towers/Chillers, Heating/Boilers, IAQ & Ventilation, Motors/Drives, Pumps/Flow Controls, Rooftop Units, and VRV/VRF. Winners were chosen by a panel of independent engineers who evaluated products based on energy savings, ease of installation, and overall value.
Infinitum’s Aircore EC motor system, recognized in the Motors and Drives category, is used in various fans, pumps, and compressors to sustainably cool large buildings and data centers around the globe. Compared to traditional motors, the Aircore EC is over 20% more efficient, weighs half as much, and uses 66% less copper, all while operating significantly quieter.
One standout feature of the Aircore EC is its ability to allow engineers to specify precise horsepower (HP) and RPM requirements, helping to reduce energy consumption and associated costs. This contrasts with conventional motors, which often have more horsepower than needed. Additionally, its compact design enables multiple mounting options, optimizing space utilization. The motor’s modular structure and fewer mechanical components make it highly reliable, easier to service, and suitable for reuse or remanufacturing, helping to keep motors out of landfills.
“Our next-generation Aircore EC motor system represents a major leap in efficiency, serviceability, and sustainability, offering new design possibilities for HVAC engineers,” said Ben Schuler, founder and CEO of Infinitum. “It’s an honor to have the Aircore EC recognized by professionals in the field, validating our team’s commitment to innovation and understanding of engineers’ needs.”
