From fan speed controllers to full HVAC solutions
At the heart of every HVAC system is a need for control—over airflow, temperature, energy use, and air quality. Sentera’s smart solutions regulate these elements dynamically, using sensor-based data to drive precise fan speed adjustments. This ensures optimal ventilation while significantly lowering energy consumption.
Many years ago, it all started with the production of fan speed controllers. Until today, our product range covers different solutions to control AC or EC fan speed, manually or demand-based. From simple—yet solid—transformer fan speed controllers, over electronic fan speed controllers to variable frequency drives. For manual control, we offer a complete range of potentiometers and control switches. Our product range has been further expanded by electric heater controllers, HVAC sensors and controllers, and completed by power supply modules and distribution boxes.
