Key Features

• Built in Performance Verification: Display indicates cumulative hours of 1) call for cooling, 2) compressor run time saved 3) programmed bypass mode 4) manual override. Energy savings can directly be calculated from these variables.
• Continuously monitors system performance to intelligently identify and implement opportunities to optimize compressor performance.Does not compromise target cooling conditions like many simple, timer based, add-on controls.Based on proven optimization control algorithms that have been applied in refrigeration and cooling systems for over 20 years.
• Versions available for single stage and dual stage compressors.
• Fully compatible with existing equipment and controls. Will not affect existing warranties.
• Easily and quickly added to existing rooftop units and single stage refrigeration equipment. Can be mounted inside or outside equipment.

How It Works

The SmartcoolTM intelligent compressor control module uses a three step process to optimize compressor operation:

• The module tracks the absolute switching values within the existing control band for a cooling or refrigeration system.
• Demand is monitored by tracking the compressor duty cycle and;
• The "rate of change" that occurs between the on and off points is calculated during operation.

The logic module in the SmartcoolTM unit then computes a reference heat load to match the cooling capacity and calculates the appropriate variable operating parameters.These parameters utilize the natural physical properties found in the compression cycle to take advantage of more efficient heat removal opportunities. This is done with no appreciable change to the temperature of the space being controlled.

A display on the unit tracks hours of compressor demand vs actual SmartcoolTM operating hours thus providing clear verification of energy savings.
