Danfoss Names Head of Oil-free Technology Development

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Sept. 26, 2016) — Danfoss has named Mads-Peter Clausen as vice president, oil-free technology development. In this new role, Clausen will be responsible for the coordination and development of the company’s oil-free technology portfolio, which currently includes award-winning Danfoss Turbocor magnetic bearing centrifugal compressors for high-efficiency water-cooled and air-cooled chillers. “As HVACR energy-efficiency and refrigerant regulations and standards grow, we expect the demand for ultra-efficient solutions to accelerate,” said Ricardo Schneider, president, Danfoss Turbocor Compressors. “Mads-Peter will help us to expand Danfoss’ oil-free portfolio beyond the current products and applications.” Mads-Peter Clausen has spent 14 years with Danfoss in various roles around the world, including vice president, appliance controls and senior associate, mergers and acquisitions. In 2014, he was elected to serve as a member of the Danfoss Board of Directors — a position he continues to hold. Clausen has an MBA from the University of Georgia and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical and production engineering from the University of Southern Denmark. Clausen is based in Tallahassee, Florida, which is home to Danfoss Turbocor Compressors’ manufacturing facility and the new Danfoss Application Development Center set to open later this year.
