Ecosmart Controls
About Ecosmart
Conventional systems are wasteful.
Fixed speed fan systems waste energy because their output is matched to a maximum demand which is required only occasionally. The actual demand is often considerably less, in the case of an unoccupied room it could be non existent.
Ecosmart systems minimise energy use.
By automatically adjusting the speed of the fan, Ecosmart matches the output of the system to the demand. The fact that there is a non-linear relationship between speed and power, means that the energy saving is disproportionately larger than expected.
Building Service Engineers must design to save energy.
Reducing energy consumption will become increasingly important as the world attempts to combat global warming. International aspirations to reduce carbon emissions by reducing energy consumption are supported in the UK by financial incentives and progressively more demanding regulations. Building users and PFI consortia will increasingly demand more efficient, less costly to operate, services.
Fan speed control leads to other important benefits.
Reducing speed means motors wear less, increasing their working life – systems working at part load are quieter than those running at full speed = Systems which automatically and continuously match actual conditions lead to better air quality.
Ecosmart eliminates design problems.
Frequency inverters and electronic speed controls enable fan systems to follow changing demand. However, correctly matching the fan, frequency inverter, electronic control and condition sensors is impossible for all but the specialist engineer.
Ecosmart couples the fan to a correctly matched frequency inverter and electronic speed control and has available a range of plug-in matched condition sensors. Designers have only to determine the maximum demand and what conditions need to be monitored.
Ecosmart units are generally fitted with EFF2 motors. For even greater efficiencies, EFF1 motors are available as an option. Both EFF1 motors and Ecosmart with inverters are eligible for ECA (Enhanced Capitol Allowance).
Installation is simple.
Ecosmart is pre-wired within its enclosure. The contractor needs only to connect the appropriate sensors and power supply.
Straight forward operation.
Ecosmart, activated by a signal from one or more of the following switching devices, ensures that the system operates only when required.
- Switched Live ~ PIR ~ Time clock ~ BMS
- Carbon dioxide ~ Temperature ~ Humidity ~ Pressure ~ BMS
Multi-sensor Control.
When a number of switching devices are connected, Ecosmart will respond to take precedence according to the following hierarchy:
- BMS
- Humidity, Temperature & Carbon dioxide (According to which is calling for the highest duty).
- Special case in Constant Pressure systems where Ecosmart is activated by BMS but operates independently.
Multi Ecosmart Installations.
Ecosmart systems can be interconnected so that they are controlled by the same switching devices and conditions sensors. This is an extremely useful feature when a number of systems serve the same area. When inter-connected, individual Ecosmart units will respond to any switched live devices and/or pressure sensors connected directly to them, otherwise all the connected systems respond as a single unit to other switching devices and condition sensors.
