Air conditioning cooling performance increased by 25%, with enhanced air flow (CFM) and lower motor power (BHP), together with reduced fan noise levels.
About
A combination of innovative, yet low-cost technology improvements has been designed to achieve up to a 25% efficiency improvement in condenser fan operations, compared with existing air conditioning units. The patented system incorporates a condenser fan design that is based on advanced aircraft propeller design elements. The blades in addition to having a unique, complex curvature can also include an air-foil for further improving the airflow efficiency and uniquely configured to reduce noise. Performance enhancements include: Condenser blades that increase air flow and energy efficiencies over conventional blades can be made from molded plastic rather than stamped metal Condenser or heat pump fan blades that improve air flow and air moving efficiencies by approximately 30% or more over conventional blades and uses less power than conventional condenser motors Condenser or heat pump fan blade with asymmetrical design and diffuser assembly to achieve quieter outdoor operation than conventional condenser or heat pump fans Condenser fan blade or heat pump assembly which aids heat transfer to the air conditioner condenser that rejects heat to the outdoor with improvements to space cooling efficiency Reduce pressure rise on the condenser fan and velocity pressure recovery to further improve air moving performance using short conical exhaust diffuser which can improve air moving efficiency approximately 21% over a conventional “starburst” or coil wire type exhaust grill. The portfolio enables design trade-offs between packaging size & weight, air flow, fan motor power consumption and noise levels.
