EconoPilot - Solution in Air Conditioning

¤ Econo-Pilot is a new energy saving system for Air Conditioning Secondary Pumps, which reduces the power consumption of motors for water supply.
¤ In the energy-saving control field, the conventional method used is that of constant pressure control of the water supply with inventers.  Econo-Pilot employs a method of variable pressure control corresponding to flow volume, the system can raise the energy saving ratio up to 90%
¤ Japan Energy Conservation Award
 
 
How Econo-Pilot works
By adding a controller with the fluid flow control function in addition to normal pressure control, the product can reduce wasteful energy due to excessive pressure, realizing dramatic energy saving.

Ecolista - Automatic Voltage Adjustment

Principle of Ecolista
Normally, a voltage that is a little higher than the normal voltage (100V/200V) is supplied from the electric power utility company.  By adjusting it to the normal voltage, the product prevents excessive power consumption, realizing reduction of the electric power cost.
In addition, a long life and appropriate operation of equipment can be achieved by using the normal voltage.

Power Factor Improvement

Power Factor Correction
In AC, there is a difference between apparent power and actually consumed power (effective power) due to a shift of voltage and current waveforms (phase shift).
By increasing the rate of effective power (Power factor=Effective power / Apparent power), power loss can be reduced.  In domestic factories and offices, there have been efforts to improve power factor by using phase-advance capacitors.

Application
The phase-advance capacitors currently used in Japan have the following problems: - High cost - Large facility These problems are the limiting factors in expansion to Chinese market.

 


Product Overview
It consists of capacitors made up of units and control unit.
The control unit sends an instruction signal that selects the optimal capacitor count for the load state to reduce wasteful power supply.

eco-Step - 3 Step CPU High Efficiency Electronic Ballast
 
Energy Saving Electronic Ballast for Fluorescent Lights
Power consumption reduced 45%

In ordinary 80% illuminance mode, “Eco-Step” saves the energy 45% compared with conventional copper-type ballasts and 23% compared with inverter ballasts of other manufacturers.  Unique function of “Eco-Step” allowing free selection of 3 levels saves the energy 26% compared with copper-type ballasts even at illuminance of 120% in the upper mode.

The globally patented 3-step CPU circuit is embedded, Allowing the selection of Illuminance in 3 levels by Switches that are already Installed (dimmer not needed)
