Enigin - The Best Way To Chill Out
You’re making dinner and absent-mindedly watching television, with your washing machine purring in the background… and suddenly your electricity is cut off! You can no longer use electric appliances for your cooking, or watch tv, the lights are off, and your washing is on stand-by in the machine…
You’re thinking: ‘another energy shortage, it’ll be back on in a few minutes’… right?
But what if this was to happen all the time, regularly, and for long periods of time each time?
Well that’s exactly what’s most probably going to happen soon, in most countries over the next 10 years, due to a reduction of the world’s resources.
And one of the major energy consumers responsible for this predicted shortage is air conditioning. Especially in very hot countries. It contributes to extreme peak energy demands on the hottest days of the year, and the energy infrastructure struggles to handle this. In some countries, like South Africa, the solution is to cut off electricity supply to many consumers, lacking the ability to provide so much energy.
Thankfully, Enigin PLC have a solution that could save us from this scenario, and at the same time, give us the opportunity to save a lot of money on energy bills! Enigin aims to help businesses around the world to reduce their energy consumption and therefore their energy costs.
For air conditioning, Enigin has a winning solution! It’s called ACES - Air Conditioning Energy Saver. And it can generate up to 30% savings, sometimes more!
In an air-conditioning unit, 10-20% of the total energy is consumed by the fan, and the rest by the compressor. So, by making sure the compressor is more energy efficient, money can be saved and energy consumption reduced!
Enigin PLC’s ACES system, which only takes about a quarter of an hour to install, is designed to detect when the appliance is on over-drive: when it is working harder than it should, basically. And if this occurs, it will simply put the unit on ’saver-mode’, to avoid wasting energy, which means only the fans will continue to blow cold air into the room, but the compressor will be off until the stored energy (cool air) is used up. It
will switch it back on again when that happens.
That way, the desired temperature will be achieved, but without the inefficiency. So this system provides significant energy savings without affecting the quality of the cooling performance.
The best part is that using Enigin PLC’s ACES means saving energy and money, allowing a return of investment in under 2 years.
