HVAC-R (Heating/Ventilation/Air-Conditioning-Refrigeration) systems manage the heating, cooling, and circulation of air between indoor and outdoor environments in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Typical applications in this industrial segment are fans, pumps, and compressors. The motor outputs range from less than one horsepower, thru hundreds and potentially thousands of HP. Important considerations for this industrial segment are uptime, operating efficiency, and motor power density (resulting in more compact, lighter weight motors).
