MAY 2025 lowering energy consumption, and enabling electrification. Every year, they recognize North American original equipment manufacturers, building owners, municipalities, contractors and end users that have introduced a new product, opened a new facility, or invested in a building or system upgrade in the past 18 months that uses Danfoss products or solutions to realize significant energy and environmental savings. Entries are judged by an independent panel of distinguished experts representing various disciplines. Polar Engineering won their 2023 EnVisioneer award for their work on the low-GWP, hightemperature heat pump at the Juan de Fuca Recreation Center. That pump was built by Fraser Valley Refrigeration using Danfoss solenoid, isolation, and electronic expansion valves, including the Colibri EEV – an electronic stepper motor valve designed for precise liquid injection into evaporators for air conditioning and refrigeration applications. This heat pump has helped reduce natural gas usage at the recreation centre by 90 percent. As part of an energy recovery system, the heat pump recaptures waste heat from the ammonia refrigeration system on site and uses it to offset the boiler loop load of the facility, resulting in an annual savings of 284 tons of carbon emissions and $22,000 in fuel costs. Ian says they highly value the award they earned for that job, as “Danfoss is one of the most respected and largest companies in our industry.” He credits the victory to their emphasis on innovation and their commitment to always pushing forward and trying new things.
