HVAC and Building Automation Solutions

In the HVAC and building automation market, Yaskawa is recognized for delivering high-performance variable frequency drives specifically designed for real-world operating environments. LONG Building Technologies provides Yaskawa HVAC drives, bypass packages, configured solutions, and matrix drive technologies that help building owners, consulting engineers, contractors, and facility managers improve energy efficiency, enhance occupant comfort, and reduce overall operating expenses.

Modern building systems require flexibility, reliability, and seamless integration with building automation systems. Yaskawa HVAC drive solutions are engineered to meet these demands while simplifying installation, startup, and long-term maintenance. Whether controlling chilled water pumps, condenser pumps, cooling tower fans, air handling units, or ventilation systems, Yaskawa drives provide precise motor control and stable operation across a wide variety of applications.

The HV600 Drive Family

The Yaskawa HV600 family is designed specifically for HVAC applications and offers flexible solutions for fans, pumps, cooling towers, and air handling systems. The HV600 platform is available in multiple enclosure configurations including UL Type 1, UL Type 12, and UL Type 3R packages to meet the needs of both indoor and outdoor installations.

Integrated features such as Hand-Off-Auto keypads, real-time clocks, HVAC-specific software presets, BACnet communication options, and high-visibility status indicators help simplify commissioning and daily operation for contractors and facility personnel. The platform also includes advanced motor protection and energy optimization capabilities designed to improve equipment longevity and reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

The HV600 family is engineered to support the evolving needs of modern buildings, including increased automation, tighter energy standards, and more intelligent system control. Flexible networking options allow integration with many common building management systems, helping operators maintain visibility and control across entire facilities.

Configured Solutions and Bypass Packages

For applications requiring additional reliability and operational continuity, Yaskawa offers intelligent bypass and redundant drive solutions designed to minimize downtime while maintaining system performance in critical building environments. These systems are commonly used in hospitals, data centers, educational facilities, commercial campuses, and other applications where continuous operation is essential.

Configured packages allow for factory-integrated options such as reactors, disconnects, circuit breakers, harmonic mitigation components, and custom enclosure solutions. Factory assembly and testing help reduce field installation labor, simplify project execution, and improve overall system consistency. These integrated packages also help contractors streamline installation while reducing potential startup complications on-site.

Advanced Harmonic Mitigation Technology

Yaskawa is also recognized for innovation in harmonic mitigation technology through the Z1000U Matrix Drive platform. Unlike conventional drive systems, matrix technology directly converts input AC voltage to output AC voltage while maintaining extremely low harmonic distortion and high overall efficiency.

This unique design allows engineers and building owners to meet demanding power quality requirements without requiring many of the additional components often associated with traditional harmonic mitigation approaches. Matrix drive technology can help reduce installation footprint, simplify electrical design considerations, and improve overall system efficiency while maintaining excellent motor performance.

The Yaskawa Quality Experience

What truly sets Yaskawa apart is not only the performance of the products, but the overall customer experience. Yaskawa places a strong emphasis on application engineering, technical support, training, and long-term customer relationships. Every product is designed and tested with reliability in mind, including extensive environmental testing, qualification testing, and real-world application validation prior to release.

Yaskawa is the only industrial drives and motion control manufacturer to receive the prestigious Deming Medal for manufacturing quality, reflecting its commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence. This dedication to quality extends from engineering and manufacturing to field support and customer service.

Customers working with Yaskawa through LONG Building Technologies benefit from knowledgeable application support, proven HVAC expertise, and access to a broad portfolio of drive technologies designed to meet modern building demands. Whether the goal is energy savings, improved system control, reduced maintenance, enhanced reliability, or simplified installation, Yaskawa solutions are engineered to provide long-term value throughout the life of the system.
