VANCOUVER,
Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -
Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX-V: SSC) has worked with independent
distributor Guardian Energy Solutions since 2012 to introduce the
ECO3 product to the Arizona
market. In the last year, Guardian has led the way in
adopting a highly successful strategy of installing the ECO3 in
conjunction with a synthetic refrigerant catalyst to significantly
increase the energy savings delivered to customers.
The ECO3 typically reduces energy consumption (in kilowatt
hours) by an average of 20% and delivers a payback in as little as
12 months when retrofitted into the control circuit of air
conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump systems with one or two
compressors. Guardian Energy Solutions offers its customers
in the Phoenix area an energy
savings package including installation of the ECO3 together with a
synthetic catalyst. This combination of technology works
extremely well together, raising average energy savings to over
30%.
Feature Project
In February 2013, Guardian installed
Smartcool's ECO3 together with a synthetic catalyst on a 5-ton
Trane heat pump unit in a private home. Data gathered over a
year of operation has shown a 33% gain in energy efficiency of the
heat pump system, equating to energy savings of roughly 2,500
kWh.
"With Smartcool's ECO3 and the synthetic catalyst, we
effectively have a two-pronged attack against inefficiency in air
conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration systems. " explains
Ray Wolfe, CEO at Guardian Energy
Solutions. "The ECO3 improves the energy efficiency of the
compressor by dynamically adjusting compressor cycles to reduce
overall run time without affecting the system's ability to meet
temperature goals. The synthetic catalyst improves the rate
of heat transfer, which creates optimal conditions for the ECO3
software to deliver energy savings. These products are
extremely complimentary, as we have proven again and again in over
300 installations where we have paired them together."
"We're really pleased to have Guardian Energy Solutions on board
as one of our premier regional distributors in the USA," says Chris
Lefaivre, VP of Operations and head of distribution in the
Americas. "We have seen many of our distributors around the
world including the ECO3 as part of a wider energy saving package
including synthetic refrigerant catalysts. Guardian has been
particularly successful in this approach in the southwest, and
delivered exceptional energy efficiency to customers. In
light of the market's positive response to the excellent savings
results achieved by deploying these technologies in tandem,
Smartcool has aligned itself with a performance enhancing
refrigeration lubricant manufacturer to offer this combined
solution to our respective distributors and to our own direct
customers in Europe."
