Madhur Sehgal, Head of Climate Solutions at Danfoss India Region, discusses the HVAC industry’s growth and transition towards sustainability and digital transformation. He anticipates a surge in demand for smart HVAC systems that can be remotely controlled via mobile devices, with the data centre segment leading the industry’s growth.
What HVAC industry trends in 2023 will impact Indian market growth and competition?
A surge in demand for smart HVAC systems that can be remotely controlled via mobile devices is anticipated, with the data centre segment leading the HVAC sector’s growth. In 2023, the HVAC industry is set to make significant strides towards sustainability, with increased emphasis on energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and environmentally friendly refrigerant requirements. The government’s focus on promoting green buildings and reducing carbon emissions drives the adoption of HVAC systems that use renewable energy sources. As new players enter the market, competition will likely increase; leading to innovation and technological advancements. The Indian HVAC market is expected to reach $31,598.6 million by 2030, with a projected CAGR of 16% until 2030. The signs of good growth in 2023 are already apparent.
What are the key innovations in HVAC monitoring instruments, and how do they improve efficiency, including remote monitoring and diagnosis with smart equipment?
The HVAC industry is undergoing a digital transformation that necessitates improvements in monitoring instruments to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This article highlights some of the key innovations in HVAC monitoring instruments.
Remote HVAC monitoring and diagnostic tools allow for remote monitoring and diagnosis of HVAC systems, reducing the need for on-site visits and improving maintenance efficiency, including preventive maintenance. Smart equipment such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) can interpret the application, receive input from peripheral devices, and anticipate potential failure times based on deviations in operational parameters.
How do smart thermostats and Air Quality Monitors benefit buildings, and how do Building Automation Systems (BAS) and optimisation techniques improve energy usage and comfort levels?
Smart thermostats with real-time monitoring and data analysis capabilities can remotely control temperature and monitor energy consumption. Air Quality Monitors can measure pollution levels, allergens, and temperature in indoor air.
Building Automation Systems (BAS) are networked systems used to control and monitor various building systems, including HVAC. These systems can help optimise energy usage and improve comfort levels in buildings. For example, using Novocon actuators for Pressure Independent Balancing Control Valve (PIBCV) can optimise the BAS system.
What are Building Energy Management Systems, and how do they reduce energy waste and costs?
Building Energy Management Systems can monitor energy consumption and help optimise energy use in buildings, reducing waste and cutting costs. The acceptance of green refrigerants and oil-free compressor technology is expected to increase to lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and improve the sustainability of HVAC systems.
As the HVAC industry continues to undergo digital transformation, advancements in monitoring instruments such as those mentioned above can enhance efficiency, performance, and sustainability.
