Ultra-efficient AC, Solar-powered AC (Code Green)
The Path to Reducing the AC Load. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Stephen Sasaki.
The SunTrac Solar Thermal SmartPanel is an energy efficient air conditioning solution that employs a renewable energy method of adding pressure and heat to the refrigeration cycle. This, in turn, reduces the required workload of the compressor and lowers the overall power consumption of the system.
This hybrid-thermal air conditioning system displaces a portion of the mechanical energy used by variable capacity, multi-stage, and variable speed compressors, keeping the compressors in low stage, low range, or low capacity while still delivering full and part-load cooling requirements. As a result, the approach translates to significant energy savings.
The SunTrac Panel has concentrated parabolic mirrored troughs that allow for a more efficient harvesting of the sun’s energy with a smaller footprint. A photo-tracking eye keeps the parabolas focused on the sun, rotating synchronously with the sun’s movement throughout the day.
