At-a-glance info:

What is ABB’s MV Titanium?

The whole electromechanical powertrain is designed and delivered as one package. It will match the customer’s process requirements and needs at their site. It provides energy efficiency, control, simplicity, productivity, and sustainability.

What are the key benefits of this concept?

Energy efficiency and simplicity.

How long has ABB been developing the new motor concept?

We have been developing this solution for approximately two years. We are drawing from over 140 years of technological experience in motors and more than 50 years of drives experience.

Why now?

By 2030, existing technologies will drive most CO₂ emissions reductions, but by 2050, nearly half will stem from innovations yet to come. This new concept helps us achieve those 2050 targets.

The current installed base of medium-voltage direct on-line motors (DOL) is around 1,000,000. We estimate that half of the estimated installations between 2024 and 2027 will still be direct online motors. It is crucial to change the installed base to be more energy efficient in our fight against climate change.

Why hasn’t this new motor concept been offered before?

Separate larger motor and drive systems have been offered for more than 40 years. But we have noticed that there are challenges associated with these separate systems (cost, efficiency, and the facilities needed). These challenges tend to lead end users to choose direct online motors instead of more efficient speed-controlled motors. 

MV Titanium will remove most of these barriers and with this offering, a speed-controlled option is now even more attractive to our customers. 

What are the projected savings in CO₂ emissions for customers adopting the new motor concept?

MV Titanium’s energy savings and CO2 in a pump application compared to

  • Throttling/valve control up to 54%
  • On/Off control up to 42%
  • Hydraulic control up to 17%

and in fan applications compared to

  • Outlet damper up to 66%
  • No control flow up to 63%
  • Inlet box damper up to 45%
  • Cycling (on/off) up to43%
  • Slip coupling up to 22%
