ABB helps ensure comfortable climate in Swiss shopping mall

ABB助力瑞士购物中心为顾客提供舒适的购物环境

ABB’s energy-efficient ACH580 variable speed drives help ensure a comfortable indoor climate and fresh air all year-round in Switzerland’s second biggest shopping mall

ABB节能型ACH580变频器帮助瑞士第二大购物中心为客户提供全年的舒适室内环境和清新空气

The Mall of Switzerland, in the canton of Lucern, is the second largest shopping center in the country. It uses ABB’s ACH580 variable speed drives (VSDs) to regulate its ventilation and air conditioning systems, ensuring a comfortable climate and fresh air inside the building, with an energy efficient system. ABB VSDs also drive the hot water pumps for the heating system connected to the building.  

位于卢塞恩州的瑞士购物中心是瑞士第二大购物中心。它采用ABB的ACH580变频器来调节通风和空调系统，确保商场内的舒适环境的同时保证了系统的节能。ABB的变频器还用于驱动大楼供暖系统的热水泵。

Located in Ebikon the mall attracts a large number of visitors every day with its shops, restaurants, entertainment, an indoor surfing facility and a large cinema, covering an area of 65,000 square meters. Two large ventilation systems contribute to their well-being by supplying over 200,000 m³ of fresh air (130,000 m³/h per unit) to the complex, which was opened in 2017.

该购物中心位于埃比孔，占地65,000平方米，商场内设有商店、餐厅、娱乐场所、室内冲浪设施和大型电影院，每天都吸引了大量顾客前往。两套大型通风系统为2017年开业的购物中心提供了超过200,000 m³的新鲜空气（每台机组130,000 立方米/小时），对顾客的舒适购物体验做出了巨大贡献。

“This is definitely one of the largest installations we have constructed. The dimensions are huge,” says Marc Jordao, Ventilation Project Manager, for building technology company Pfiffner AG, which implemented the ventilation systems. “The energy-efficient systems use heat recovery components. In summer, these components use the cooler exhaust air from inside the building to extract heat from the inflowing outside air. In winter, the outside air is preheated using the warmer exhaust air.”

“它的规模十分庞大，这绝对是我们建造的最大的设施之一。”Pfiffner AG建筑技术公司的通风项目经理马克·乔丹说，“节能系统使用热回收部件。在夏季，这些部件利用建筑物内部较冷的排气从外部流入的空气中提取热量。在冬季，外部空气利用较热的排气进行预热。”

The mall’s air conditioning system is able to reduce its energy use with this heat recovery system as the 28 ACH580 drives, or frequency converters, adjust the fan motor speeds to actual demand. ABB also supplied the drive package for the building’s air conditioning compressors, which maintain the desired temperature in the stores and the cinema. The package comprises four process engines and matching ACS580 drive cabinets. ABB drives also regulate the speed of large smoke extraction fans, which would start up in the event of a fire.

28台ACH580变频器可以根据实际需求调整风机的转速，使商场的空调系统在这套热回收系统的作用下减少能耗。ABB还为大楼的空调压缩机提供了传动系统，这些压缩机可以维持商店和电影院所需的温度。该系统包括四台过程引擎和与之匹配的ACS580变频器柜。ABB变频器还可以调节大型排烟风机的速度。一旦发生火灾，这些风机就会立即启动。

The mall’s drives were supplied and parameterized by Walter Frei AG, an ABB authorized value provider. “We frequently work with Pfiffner AG and often supply ABB frequency converters for joint projects,” says Marcel Frei, Managing Director of Walter Frei AB. “We are convinced of their quality.”

购物中心的变频器由ABB授权的供应商Walter Frei AG提供并设置参数。Walter Frei AG的常务董事马塞尔·弗雷说，“我们经常与PfiffnerAG公司合作，并且经常为项目提供ABB变频器。我们对产品的质量深信不疑。”

ABB’s compact ACH580 drives provide complete heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) functionality. They can be integrated with most motors, and ensure applications operate reliably and without costly unplanned outages. The drives also provide connectivity with existing building automation and control systems.

ABB紧凑型ACH580变频器提供完整的加热、通风、空调和制冷（HVACR）功能。它们可以与大多数电机匹配，确保应用程序可靠地运行，不会出现因意外停机产生高昂经济损失。除此之外，ABB变频器还能实现与现有楼宇自动化和控制系统的连接。
