On your air conditioning costs

Improving energy efficiency is the best short-term answer to today’s energy problems.



Until cleaner and sustainable sources of energy become available on a large scale, improving the energy efficiency of today’s systems is the best way to reduce co 2 emissions and save energy.

Air Conditioning has a huge potential for efficiency improvements

   Air conditioning is one of the largest energy consumers in the residential and industrial sector. Thousands of Air Conditioners put high demands on the electricity networks. On a smaller scale, air conditioning probably accounts for a significant part of your energy bill.

Many existing air conditioners use old and quite inefficient technology. Although improved technology has become available in more expensive systems (e.g. inverter technology), the payback time of these systems is still very long.

Instead of investing a lot of money into an expensive new system, there is an easy and affordable way to improve the energy efficiency of your unit…

It is a retrofit product that adds intelligence to air-conditioning systems, which saves KWh and extends compressor life.

* Sensor driven software algorithms designed to detect thermodynamic saturation and optimize compressor run times *Provides anti-short cycling; mandatory compressor off time after thermostat reaches set point (3 minutes) or loss of power (1 minute).

*Reduces equipment operating temperature and prevents evaporator freeze-over by properly cycling the compressor.

*Constantly adapting its settings to inside demand requirements and outside weather conditions.

*AircoSaver is engineered and Manufactured in Germany for 9 plus years.

How does the AircoSaver Work?

First we will see what the shortcomings are of a typical AC System Then let’s take a look at what a typical cooling cycle with excess capacity looks like Last, let’s find out how the AircoSaver compensates these shortcomings.

Shortcomings of a Typical AC System

  When switched on, typical air conditioning systems operate continuously until the room thermostat senses the desired temperature and turns the system off. As the room warms up, the thermostat switches the air conditioner back on and the cycle repeats Air conditioning systems are usually dimensioned to cope with the extreme cooling demands of the few hottest days of the year (plus a safety margin).

most of the time.

However, in most operational conditions, this maximum output is not required and the system is oversized. So running the system continuously until the room thermostat switches it off means that the system operates with excess capacity

A typical cooling cycle with excess capacity looks like this:

   When the cycle starts, the compressor pushes cooling energy into the heat exchanger which acts as an energy storage. At this stage, the system works with high efficiency because compressors operate most efficiently when fully loaded.

In normal weather conditions, the energy storage Is soon fully “charged up”. From this point onwards, the compressor provides more cooling energy than the heat exchanger can take up (thermodynamic saturation).

Running the compressor beyond this stage does NOT increase the cooling effect any more.

The AircoSaver compensates these shortcomings and adds intelligence to your AC Systems

   

This is where the AircoSaver cuts in

. It’s sensor driven software algorithms are designed to detect thermodynamic saturation and to optimize the compressor accordingly.

When overcapacity is detected, the AircoSaver switches the compressor off and avoids inefficient overcooling.

Your unit switches into “saver mode”. The fan keeps running and your system makes maximum use of the stored cooling energy in the heat exchanger. Once the stored energy is used up, the compressor can work efficiently again and is switched back on.

The set room temperature is reached without the inefficient parts of the cooling cycle. This results in significant energy savings without compromising cooling comfort.

Since the correct point to switch the compressor varies from unit to unit and changes with different weather conditions, the AircoSaver is constantly adapting its settings to ensure efficient operation of your air conditioning system at all times.

A very simple AircoSaver Analogy

          Imagine a sink with a drain and tap The tap can only be turned full on or completely off. Nothing in-between.

The tap usually can deliver more water than the drain can take (partial loads).

So when the tap is turned on, the water in the sink will rise The aim is to achieve a constant flow out of the drain without spilling any water.

The water level rises and rises At one stage the water will start to spill over the sink (thermodynamic saturation) At this stage the tap can be turned off and the water in the sink will continue to flow out of the drain.

Later, the tap is turned on again before the sink is empty and the sink fills up again.

So, no spillage-that means best efficiency.

Calculation Methods

At each site, air conditioner supply voltage was recorded. Air conditioner power was derived from the formula- (measured volts X measured amps X assumed power factor of .85) = power. Only one site, SD0364 was supplied with three phase power for air conditioners. The three phase power conversion factor of 1.732 was used to calculate power consumption at that site. Pre period average hourly power consumption was compared to post period average hourly power consumption and the result was annualized to determine annual energy savings. No air conditioner performance corrections were made for increased ambient (external) temperature. At eight of the nine sites average temperature during the post period was higher than during the baseline test period. An examination of compressor kW VS ambient temperature showed little difference.

Project Results and Discussion

Average hourly power savings was calculated for each site and extrapolated to annual energy savings. Overall air conditioning savings was 20% of baseline air conditioner energy consumption, and averaged 7071 kWh for the nine sites. Energy savings averaged 6.8% of site total energy consumption.

The Aircosaver control system may be incentivized through the Standard Performance Contract Program at nine cents per annual kWh saved. The incentive is limited to ½ the installed cost, or the calculated incentive, whichever is less.

At an average site electric cost of 14.4 cents/kWh Annual energy savings for installing the AircoSaver at each site is around $1,000 per year.
