AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION

HVAC and refrigeration systems in operation today consume far more energy than is necessary to provide dehumidification and space cooling. State of the art technologies are available for retrofit that can improve the performance levels of most refrigeration and HV AC equipment.

Heat Pipes, initially developed for NASA are an excellent example. HVAC Systems are designed to transfer moisture from air along with heat. Heat Pipes, a passive dehumidification device that contains. a phase change fluid, supplants the traditional technique of over cooling and reheating air to control humidity, which is energy intensive. Heat Pipes accomplish this without any moving parts or energy consumed. Indoor Air Quality issues like Sick Building Syndrome are mitigated with Heat Pipes.

Electronically commutated motors consume less than half the energy of PSC motors and can directly replace refrigeration case motors, fan coil unit motors and many others. When technology can increase system capacity, decreasing energy use, compressor demand is also reduced. The result is less damaging heat, which will shorten the lifetime and increase the need for repair and replacement of HV AC and refrigeration equipment. All of these technologies can achieve the following:

• Substantial Energy Savings
• Improved Indoor Air Quality
• Enhanced Comfort Conditions
• Reduced Environmental Impact
