AIRCOSAVER - the Air Conditioning Energy Saver Energy efficiency: the smart answer to today's energy crisis!

Most existing air conditioning units waste a significant part of the consumed electricity because they are not controlled in a smart way. To make these aircon systems more energy efficient is by far the quickest, most affordable and most effective way to reduce your CO2 emissions and lower your energy bill. And the good thing is: It's easy with an AIRCOSAVER!

The AIRCOSAVER
is a retrofit electronic control unit that adds intelligence to existing air conditioning systems and improves their energy efficiency. is a proven product with a large installed base that has been growing rapidly each year since 2001. Worldwide, the AIRCOSAVER has been tested and installed successfully by various prestigious blue chip clients and leading authorities. achieves average energy savings of about 20% (often more, depending on local conditions) resulting in a short payback period. is 100% engineered & manufactured to highest quality standards in Germany to give you peace of mind.

Air conditioning has a huge potential for efficiency improvements

Air conditioning is one of the largest energy consumers in the residential and industrial sector. Thousands of air conditioners put high demands on our electricity networks. On a smaller scale, air conditioning probably accounts for a significant part of your energy bill. Many existing air conditioners use old and quite inefficient technology. Although improved technology has become available in more expensive systems (e.g. inverter technology), the payback time of these systems is still very long and most of this technology is not suitable as an easy and economical aftermarket fit to existing systems. In the light of today's energy problems, global warming and since older and not so advanced aircon systems will be in use for many more years in large numbers, we have analysed various existing energy saving techniques for air conditioning systems and reviewed plenty of earlier research. The conclusion was that detecting the system's efficiency and switching the compressor accordingly is probably the only effective, pragmatic and economical measure to achieve a better energy efficiency. There is no "free lunch" with any retrofit, but these savings come at no or only very small decreases in cooling comfort.

Upgrade your unit

Instead of investing a lot of money into an expensive new system, there is an easy and affordable way to improve the energy efficiency of your existing unit: Upgrade it with an AIRCOSAVER. The new product generation is now available!

About the air conditioning energy saver - Shortcomings of typical AC systems A typical cooling cycle
When switched on, typical air conditioning systems operate continuously until the room thermostat senses the desired temperature and turns the system off. As the room warms up, the thermostat switches the air conditioner back on and the cycle repeats.

Most air conditioning systems are oversized for the majority of operating conditions
Air conditioning systems are usually dimensioned to cope with the extreme cooling demands of the few hottest days of the year (plus a safety margin). However, in most operational conditions, this maximum output is not required and the system is oversized. So running the system continuously until the room thermostat switches it off means that the system operates with excess capacity most of the time. A typical cooling cycle with excess capacity looks like this: When the cycle starts, the compressor pushes cooling energy into the heat exchanger which acts as an energy storage. At this stage, the system works with high efficiency because compressors operate most efficiently when fully loaded. In normal weather conditions, the energy storage is soon fully "charged up". From this point onwards, the compressor provides more cooling energy than the heat exchanger can take up (thermodynamic saturation). Running the compressor beyond this stage does not increase the cooling effect any more. It's just a waste of energy!

About the AIRCOSAVER - How does the aircon energy saver improve energy efficiency? The aircon energy saver compensates the shortcomings of typical AC units and adds intelligence to your AC system
The AIRCOSAVER's sensor-driven software algorithms are designed to detect thermodynamic saturation and to optimize the compressor accordingly. When overcapacity is detected, the AIRCOSAVER switches the compressor off and avoids inefficient overcooling.

Your unit switches into "saver mode". The fan keeps running and your system makes maximum use of the stored cooling energy in the heat exchanger. Once the stored energy is used up, the compressor can work efficiently again and is switched back on. The set room temperature is reached without the inefficient parts of the cooling cycle. This results in significant energy savings without compromising cooling comfort.

Since the correct point to switch the compressor varies from unit to unit and changes with different weather conditions, the AIRCOSAVER is constantly monitoring the cooling status of your aircon unit and adapting its settings to ensure efficient operation of your air conditioning system at all times.

Protecting your unit against short cycling

Cycling the compressor too frequently in too short time intervals may harm the compressor and must be avoided. For this reason, the AIRCOSAVER features a built-in anti short cycling protection. Besides the continuous anti short cycling protection, the AIRCOSAVER also adds a delay upon power-on to your unit. This valuable feature protects your aircon unit against damages from short power outages like they are common in many developing countries.
