Reduce Chiller size by 30 %

Most parts of India, barring coastal zones of the country, have six seasons namely: summer, winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon.

LOpex H-AC uses highly efficient, En (Energy Cube) sensible Heat exchangers. The heat exchangers All types of Free-cooling systems operate in heat recovery mode and like Dry ventilation, DEC or IDEC remove sensible heat before applying will fail to provide indoor comfort chilled water cooling using heat and during the wet season. mass transfer matrix .The Matrix performs adiabatic cooling to 100% fresh air for Conventional Air conditioning cost effective comfort cooling in dry and does take advantage of the free cooling easily available for more composite climates. than six months at most of the During humid season LOpex H-AC inland locations. uses chilled water through a PHE to cool the sump water to the desired Apparatus LOpex economizer can save more than 50% annualized energy and Dew Point (ADP). reduce Opex by the same This fully integrated, uniquely magnitude. engineered, Hybrid Air handling unit acts It can also reduce chillers as a comfort air conditioner, through all capacities and costs by 30% or the six seasons. It uses chilled water more need lesser sized gensets option as and when essential and as by the same magnitude. much as necessary to maintain the desired indoor conditions.

Unit Capacities
LOpex H-AC is produced in various capacities to meet diverse building cooling needs. Standard packaged units are manufactured in the range starting from 3000 CFM to 30000 CFM in 1000 to 5000 CFM increments, with various unit heights and foot print possibilities.

Energy Efficient Technology

LOpex H-AC uses just 300 watts to pick up 3000 Kcal of heat from the space requiring indoor comfort conditioning during dry summer months or during winter. During Dry summer, the seasonal EER exceeds more than six times when compared with conventional systems using 100% re-circulated air cooled by chemical refrigerant based compression refrigeration.

LOpex H-ACs save more than 50% annualized energy while removing equal amount of heat compared to a conventional cooling system. After years of experience with Low Energy Cooling, TORO Cooling systems use selected components to build the world class, state- of-the- art energy efficient air conditioners based on Hybrid cooling technique.

En3 Polymer plate heat exchanger

The key component, the En3 Polymer plate heat exchanger is the result of intensive research by TORO GreenTech India. These high efficiency heat recovery modules (See picture) offer high surface areas per unit exchanger volume. En3 heat exchangers use thin film evaporative cooling technique on one side wet surface of the heat exchanger. The polymer surface has a unique and proprietary nano coating to provide hydrophilic and bacteria static substrate properties.

Due to near zero wall thickness, the polymer plate having thermal insulation properties and very low thermal conductivity becomes a very economical heat transfer surface. The pure cross flow heat exchangers are combined in parallel and installed horizontally or vertically to meet the required capacity need and desired foot print.En3 (Energy Cube) Air to Air Polymer Plate Heat exchanger is used in a cross flow mode.

TORO Limit Load Fans

Blow thru, Direct driven, Plug flow fan technology (see picture below) throughout our entire Low Energy Cooling (LEC) product range. This quantum leap in ventilation technology has been made possible through high efficiency microprocessor controls, efficient variable frequency control and new developments in electro-mechanics. LOpex product range uses these proprietary fans with electronic volume control that brings the possibility of adjusting the air flow rate in response to demand. Fixed set point LOpex Low Energy Cooling solutions provide optimized energy use by blow- thru plug flow fan-motor installations in Ambiator systems. The airflow can be controlled relative to any of these factors: Temperature Humidity Air quality Duct pressure drop LOpex offers a newly developed system based upon a free running fan wheel with backward curved blades and a self-tracking optimized motor, which maintains the maximum operating efficiency at all times. The energy saving advantages are ,Zero transmission losses through belt drive, higher fan efficiency through optimization of airflow and pressure, negligible dynamic pressure losses and exact airflow rate for the chosen application.

It is often thought that Indirect Evaporative cooling systems cannot work in composite climate, but it is far from truth. LOpex H-AC when compared at a common performance platform, is economical in capital cost or may be marginally expensive. Pay back of differential cost may be less than two tears. Life cycle costs for LOpex H-ACs are the lowest compare to any other systems for the same operating conditions.

Selection
LOpex application engineering team can assist Architects /HVAC consultants/Energy Manager/Energy auditors/ Facility Managers/Plant Engineering and other professionals in selecting appropriate H-AC unit to meet cooling comfort specifications and while optimizing energy use. Ambient Design data for Supply air conditions for 65 stations in India is available and annual energy use by H-ACs for these cities can be made available to all professionals on request. LOpex Ambiators are engineered as proper HVAC equipment and air handling unit performance is assured to remain within the committed design parameters.

Unit Capacity selection

The Adiabatic evaporation based equipment is sometimes considered as another evaporative cooling unit and selection is based on thumb rules like 3 CFM/SFT or number of air changes/hour.

These thumb rules have been used by HVAC professionals as check figures and should be used for that purpose only. Correct procedure for selecting any LOpex H-AC unit is as follows: Calculate Internal sensible heat loads Calculate External sensible heat gain Check solar gain from roof Calculate Equipment heat load Supply air duct must be Insulated Consider Nozzle diffusers if the ducting is located at 3 meters and above Ignore all latent loads excepting the fresh air load As summer supply air temperature from LOpex H-AC will be around 18 to 20 C or near about so it is prudent to consider 6 C as T between supply air and space conditions to arrive at the required supply air capacity for the given load. During monsoon, the chilled water sump temperature is set near 16 C to achieve same results as summer at economical Opex. During monsoon, 70% of the space air is re-circulated; only 30% fresh air is brought in for meeting the heat sink requirement.

Example: Required Air Quantity Sensible Heat Load Supply Air Temperature Room Temp CFM 1, 20000 BTU /Hr. 20 C 26 C 12280

The selected CFM will provide temperatures in the range of 262C in the conditioned space .The space humidity will be in the range of 60 5% or lower. The above mentioned indoor conditions are within the ASHRAE comfort envelope for tropical climates.
