Designed for constant speed, the new variant was designed with simplicity in mind.

Offering a simpler alternative<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Says product manager Preben Jessen: \u2018The constant-speed variant was created by popular demand! Many of our customers expressed a wish to have a simple, constant-speed drive for rotary heat exchangers, so of course we complied. It\u2019s basically a pared-back version of the existing DRHX range, making it ideal for those situations where you don\u2019t need variable speed, but simply a reliable drive for your rotary heat exchanger. And we expect it to be very popular with many customers, not least in the Middle Eastern and Asian markets.\u2019<\/p>\n

Two DIP switches enable four speed settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Essentially, the new DRHX variant comes equipped with a two-pole connector: when closed, the connected motor will accelerate to its maximum speed. When opened again, the motor will reduce the speed to stop and automatically perform an alarm reset. But there is scope for customisation to specific needs: \u2018The new DRHX drive comes with two DIP switches,\u2019 explains Preben Jessen, \u2018which you can insert to suit the required speeds for your scenario. You can get four different speed settings this way, which gives you quite a lot of flexibility with this simple solution.\u2019<\/p>\n

Greater choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Preben Jessen points out that the new, simpler DRHX model is part of OJ Electronics\u2019 overall strategy to offer comprehensive choice: \u2018We want our customers to be able to find what they need from us. So we regularly expand our product ranges to match the latest requirements from the market. Sometimes, that means adding \u2013 or inventing \u2013 sophisticated new technology. In other cases, as here, it means offering a simpler and\/or more compact version of existing technology for situations where there\u2019s no need to overshoot the project specifications. It\u2019s all about giving our customers the chance to choose for themselves.\u2019<\/p>\n

More compact 1Nm motor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking of choice: concurrently with the new DRHX drive, OJ Electronics also introduces a new 1Nm version of the MRHX motor. \u2018Again, this new motor is a direct response to customer needs. With its 1Nm torque and 27W power, it fills in a gap at the low-power end of the range \u2013 and, very importantly, it offers a more compact alternative. It measures just 5.6 x 5.6 x 9.7 cm, so it\u2019s easy to fit in. And you\u2019ll note that for this model, we\u2019ve gone for an elongated design, which many have asked for.\u2019<\/p>\n

Compatibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The DRHX constant speed variant can be used with motor sizes ranging from the new 1Nm variant to the 8Nm model. The new 1Nm motor is compatible with the complete DRHX range with software version AOC 2.06 and MOC 2.07 or newer.<\/p>\n
