Popular drive gets the UL stamp of approval
The DRHX drive range has proven to be very popular – so popular, in fact, that you have asked to be able to use it in even more markets.
As Preben Jessen, Head of Drive Products at OJ Electronics, explains:
„The DRHX drive is based on combining a stepper motor and field oriented sensorless motor control to ensure energy-optimised heat recovery and precise temperature control. It’s a patented solution that gave our customers an entirely new way of maximising the efficiency of their ventilation systems – and having seen how well it works, they wanted to be able to use it in even more markets.

Individual parts were already UL approved
To enter the US and Canadian markets, the range needed UL approval. The Danish designs were already perfected for the European market and would simply require a few adjustments to get the UL approval. „The individual parts and materials for the DRHX were already approved, but the range itself needed the stamp of approval,“ recalls Preben Jessen. „It required some small changes, which our team found the best solutions for.“
Bringing familiar benefits to new markets
Overall, Preben Jessen describes the process as smooth sailing: „We design our products according to very strict quality criteria, so we were quite confident about subjecting them to external examination,“ he relates. „The process was mostly about obtaining external confirmation of what we already knew – and then there were the minor adjustments like updating the product labels to show temperature ranges in Fahrenheit as well as Celsius.
Customers who already know the DRHX can confidently explore new markets with the UL approved version of the proven OJ solution, as it has the same benefits and quality.“
