The company offers an innovative products that are a Green Alternative to air conditioning. The company has successfully executed projects for various leading organizations such as Wipro, MICO, ABB, Ford, TVS Motors, and Taj Hotels etc.
Innovation: The Nominee and the organization have developed a sensible cooling exchange module. (Sensible cooling, is a process where in cooling is achieved without any addition of moisture). With this Heat Exchanger module, the organization has introduced its product Ambiator to the Indian market. Ambiator cools air adequately for providing comfort conditioning for personnel. Ambiator has found acceptance in the market among large institutional customers. Each CFM (cubic foot per minute) of air cooled by Ambiator consumes about 60% lesser energy as compared to conventional air conditioning systems. Since the product consumes lesser energy, it emits lesser CO2 into the air. It is estimated that per CFM, per hour usage the system will reduce carbon emission by 0.00085 units . Thus the Certified Emission Reduction (CER) per hour usage of Ambiator would be 0.00085 per CFM.Typical cooling solutions involve air conditioning. Internationally products working on similar principle would be called Two Stage evaporative cooling systems or Indirect Direct evaporative cooling systems. Ambiator is innovative in that it uses three thermodynamic principles to effect cooling.- Cooling tower, Sensible heat exchange and Adiabatic heat Exchange.Functioning of Ambiator:- Ambient air is filtered (to the required level 5 / 10 / 20 microns) and pumped across the heat exchangers.- Stage 1: Sensible Heat Exchangero In this heat exchanger, air is cooled without adding any water. This works on the principle of indirect evaporative cooling of air. This heat exchanger forms the core technology of Ambiator.- Stage 2: Adiabatic Heat Exchangero Air Stage 1 heat exchanger passes through an adiabatic heat exchanger for evaporative cooling of air. For every unit sold by the organization, its customers and the society at large save on the energy consumed. During the last year organization had sold about 2 Million CFM of Ambiator & Hybrid Air conditioners.· Based on the reduced power consumption, a quick estimate indicates that the company has affected energy savings of over 19 Million KWH of electrical energy for its customers.· This reduced power consumption results in CER of about 20,000 Tonnes.
· Individual - Comfort conditioning solutions offered by the organization offers good thermal comfort to the individual at lower costs. The solution provides 100% fresh air cooled to optimal levels without any CFC. The individual would also save significantly on the energy bill. The saving will be about 60% of the conventional air conditioning bill. This innovation will make air-conditioning affordable for small enterprises that cannot easily afford conventional air-conditioning.· Society - The products developed are Eco friendly and energy efficient. Benefits for the society is CFC free cooling solutions that require lesser energy. · Economy - The overall effect on the economy will be in the form of increased efficiency of workers working in a cool atmosphere. A greater acceptance of the product by the market would in turn development of the entire market. This will offer affordable solutions for public at large.· Environment - The saving can be over several Million Tonnes of Carbon reduction per year. The organization over the last few years has affected over 100,000 Tonnes of CER.India is a tropical country with hot and hotter summers !!!. A Clean Technology solution developed and advanced can be successfully offered to various other tropical countries including Brazil, South Africa et. al.,
At present the organization does not have partnerships / associations.
The organization seeks to associate with leading laboratories and institutions that are pursuing research in similar products. The collective initiative will ensure furthering the concept, technology and market acceptance across various countries.
Individuals ? More working efficiency resulting low cost cooling solutions; A clean environment with fewer carbon emissions.Economy ? Cheaper cooling will result in a more efficient working environment for all enterprises and the economy as a whole will save on costs.Environment ? Reduction in carbon emissions due to shifting to ambiators and hybrid cooling solutions.
The advantages of this innovation are tremendous for developing countries particularly in the tropical region. Economically the technology will save costs. The technology has tremendous ecological emissions as it will reduce emission of green house gases ? one of the main concerns of environmentalists today
