MARINE APPLICATIONS

Saving energy, Cutting CO2 emissions

Energy efficiency is the single most important factor in reducing CO2 emissions. OPTIDRIVE variable speed drives from Invertek Drives can cut the energy consumption of fans, pumps and compressors found on marine vessels by as much as 60%.

Integrated safety

OPTIDRIVE VFDs provide SIL2 (Safety Integrated Level) functional safety standards based on the IEC 61508, providing complete peace of mind. 

OPTIDRIVE is approved by DNV, an independent globally renowned foundation with the objective of safeguarding life, property, and the environment.
