Vortx Inverter Series: New electronics platform for heat pumps and cooling systems

With the new Vortx inverter series, Diehl Controls is expanding its portfolio with pre-developed, ready-to-use electronic solutions for heat pumps and cooling units. The series is aimed in particular at medium-sized and smaller manufacturers who want to benefit from modern inverter technology without having to accept long development times or high entry hurdles.

The electronics are available in various performance classes:

• For the European market in 3 kW / 230 Vand 5 kW / 400 V versions
• For the American market and Asia, there are solutions for 230 V and 400 V networks

Diehl Controls thus covers a wide range of applications - from compact monobloc heat pumps to powerful cooling units.
