Avoid 30 - 40% Wastage in Refrigeration & Air-conditioning (RAC) Systems

The wastage of energy and costs in Refrigeration and Air-conditioning (RAC) systems is a real challenge. AC’s that drip water into the street because of excessive condensation illustrate that the compressor is over-running to achieve the cooling output required in the rooms they serve. Refrigerators that require de-icing cycles to remove the build-up of ice on the evaporator unit, again graphically illustrate that the compressor is running longer than is needed to achieve the cooling required for the refrigerated produce.


The new technology* employs two temperature sensors in an algorithmic energy trading control arrangement to monitor the thermodynamic (room or space temperature) and the hydraulic (refrigerant supply) performance of the connected air conditioning, heating or refrigeration system. As a result it reduces up to 30-40% of the running time on the compressor which accounts for 95% of HVAC energy consumption.

Bundled with a 2-day CPD training in the Air-conditioning System Design for Data Center, this is a 1-hour information seminar introducing an innovative energy optimizer / economizer for compressor-based HVAC systems. It targets to HVAC practitioners such as consulting engineer, energy assessor, facilities managements and building services engineers.



* Internationally Patented - Optimized Refrigerant Supply (ORS®)

Demonstrated through a number of case studies, the seminar session showcases how ORS® prevents the wastage of energy and costs that arise from over-running the compressors. Since the compressor is by far the main consumer of electrical power in any RAC system, the avoided wastage is very significant and the session will illustrate that ORS® prevents wastage of energy and costs in the region of 30-40%.




CPD Training in Air Conditioning System Design for Data Center (2-day)

Date: November 5 - 6, 2015 (Thursday - Friday)
Time: 10:00 - 17:30 (with 1 hour lunch break)
Venue: 14/F, On Lok Yuen Building, 25-27A Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong


The 1 hour seminar session mentioned above (during 16:30 - 17:30, 5 November 2015) is sponsored by The Getz Corporation (HK) Limited and Agile8 Consulting Limited.
