Mr. George Burnes reports
In response to a request from a large prospective U.S.-based retail client,
SmartCool Systems Inc., in association with Abbotly USA, has completed a
controlled test program of the Energy Savings Module System 4000 (ESM
4000). This test program was undertaken by Oak Ridge National
Laboratories, an arm of the U.S. Department of Energy at the Lennox R & D
facility in Carrollton, Tex.
The test program was designed to ascertain the effectiveness of the ESM
4000 in reducing the power consumption of air conditioning compressors. To
this end, the ESM 4000 was installed on a 21-ton Lennox commercial rooftop
air conditioning unit with four scroll compressors. The objectives of the test
program were to quantify the reduction in energy consumption of the HVAC
unit attributable to the ESM 4000, compare compressor cycle rates with and
without the ESM 4000, and to monitor indoor room temperature with and
without the ESM 4000.
The rooftop unit was tested in baseline configuration and with the ESM 4000.
The cooling load imposed on the unit was the same for both scenarios and
the outdoor temperature was controlled to simulate a representative summer
day cycle for all tests. The following summarize the results attributable to the
installation of the ESM 4000 for high cooling demands:
* kilowatt hour (kWh) percentage reduction of approximately 8 per cent on the
rooftop HVAC unit;
* kWh percentage reduction of approximately 10 per cent on the compressors
only; and
* reduction in cycling rates of approximately 6 per cent for compressors one
and two and almost 40 per cent for compressors three and four.
The above data have been reported on an "as corrected" basis to equal
indoor room temperatures for both scenarios. This controlled test
independently verifies the energy savings that are directly attributable to the
installation of the ESM 4000. Additionally, it illustrates the dramatic decrease
in cycle rates of the compressors, which correspond to a longer life cycle for
existing compressors resulting in lower replacement costs.
The company is very pleased with these results as it will now allow SmartCool
to provide prospective clients with independently verified analyses of the ESM
4000's energy savings. Most clients require such verification prior to
embarking on the purchase or consideration of energy savings technologies.
These results further reinforce the company's ability to provide cost-effective
energy savings to potential clients throughout its distribution region. When
these results are considered with the costs of equipment, the company is in a
position to offer proposals that will be attractive to most companies' ROI
requirements for energy saving technologies.
