Vari-Green® Options

Model AER (direct drive) is available with Greenheck’s Vari-Green® technology. Greenheck’s Vari-Green
products are designed for efficiency, controllability and low maintenance.

MOTORS
The Greenheck Vari-Green motor is an electronically commutated
(EC) motor that operates on single or three phase AC power
input and internally converts it to DC power providing better
speed control capabilities (up to an 80% turndown) and higher
efficiencies than standard motors. The Vari-Green motor
blends technology, controllability and energy efficiency in a low
maintenance package that has changed the way the industry
designs, specifies and operates air movement equipment.
Depending on power rating, Vari-Green motors are available
in both single and three phase with either a dial-mounted
potentiometer (speed control) or wired to accept a 0-10 VDC
control signal from an external source.

CONTROLS
For expanded controllability, Greenheck offers many different
solutions to fit any need. Controls are designed specifically for
Vari-Green motors. These controls are available for applications
requiring manual operation or demand-controlled ventilation
(DCV). Applications utilizing DCV controls provide only the desired
amount of ventilation, delivering building owners savings on their
energy bills.

Manual Controls
• Dial-on Motor
• Remote Dial
• Touch Remote

Demand Controlled Ventilation

• Hand/Off/Auto (HOA)
• Constant Airflow
• Constant Pressure
• Air Quality - Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
• Air Quality - Temperature/Humidity
