Energy Efficiency Technology

Smartcool's green technology is specifically designed to reduce the electricity usage (kWh) and demand (KW) of refrigeration and air conditioning compressors while maintaining temperature and humidity performance.

Compressors use an average of 70% of the energy consumed by air HVAC and refrigeration systems, so Smartcool targets these major energy consumers in order to make the overall system more efficient. Conventional controls, including the most sophisticated Building Management Systems (BMS) and state-of-the-art refrigeration controls, operate only on reaching pre-programmed fixed (static) values to switch compressors off and on or adjust capacity. Rather than replacing existing controls, Smartcool's ESM™ and ECO³™ interface directly with these controls to optimize the compressors and achieve greater energy efficiency.

The ESM™ and ECO³™ use proprietary software to dynamically analyze the compressor cycles, achieving an overall reduction in run time without causing over cycling. Energy efficiency gains are achieved without affecting cooling capacity, temperature requirements or manufacturer warranties.

In reducing the compressor run time, the ESM™ and ECO³™ save energy both through lower electricity usage (kWh) and decreased demand (KW). Electricity usage can be reduced on average by 15% while demand can be reduced by an average of 10%.
