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

Diehl Controls has introduced the Vortx inverter series, a standardized electronics platform designed for heat pumps and cooling systems. The series targets small- to mid-sized manufacturers seeking modern inverter technology with reduced development time and lower entry barriers.

The electronics are offered in multiple performance classes: for the European market in 3 kW / 230 V and 5 kW / 400 V configurations; for the American market and Asia, solutions are available for 230 V and 400 V networks. This enables coverage from compact monobloc heat pumps to high-capacity cooling units.

Powerful electronics are essential for efficient and reliable operation of modern heat pumps and cooling units. Diehl Controls has long developed, industrialized and produced tailor-made electronics solutions for leading heat pump manufacturers, with products deployed worldwide in premium systems and forming the core of energy-efficient HVAC applications. The Vortx series builds on this experience by applying a standardized platform concept, reducing development risk and accelerating time-to-market for new devices.
