AmbiatorEnergy efficiency & Sustainable cooling

Toro Hybrid packaged AC , the new  Air Conditioning unit is promising to revolutionize the HVAC industry. Because it provides ambient-building connectivity to save 50% annualized operating cost and provide excellent Indoor Air Quality.

Although conventional HVAC systems have had price advantages  over new  TORO hybrid systems due to mass  production, but their list of identified shortcomings is long and has defied resolution for the past many years. For starters, refrigerative air conditioning systems are responsible for ozone depletion and high GHG emissions.

During the last couple of years, new systems like VRF or VRV gained prominence over the conventional air conditioning  because of the  their capability to modulate energy input,depending  on the heat load.  These  ”expensive to own” units  have gained some popularity  in green buildings which can accommodate higher capital costs,their position may soon be usurped by a new technology that has none of their drawbacks.

Compressive refrigeration bases systems  exhibit   substantial de-rating and resultant poor energy efficiency during tropical summer climates. There is no humidity control in summer or winter. Dehumidification during monsoon is  more by default than by design. Other  serious shortcoming is  no provision for fresh air to maintain  acceptable IAQ  in occupied spaces.

TORO Hybrid  Packaged  units  are poised to push conventional HVAC systems into obsolescence. These advanced  HVAC units use  a new strategy  to take full advantage of the favorable ambient conditions  by providing  ”ambient- building connectivity” to  reduce energy  consumption by 30 to 90 % or better.TORO Hybrid Air conditioners integrate a  filter bank ,sensible heat exchangers , belt-less VFD driven plug flow fan  and  a  much smaller size built in chiller using  evaporative condensing  and BMS compatible controls.

Aside from delivering 100% fresh air straight during summer and winter , TORO Hybrid  excels at humidity control  during monsoon by re-circulating large part of the air but still providing adequate  fresh air for  best IAQ thus saving energy and eliminating all sick-building issues.

These energy efficient air conditioners  use  a  proprietory Heat recovery device—En³ Heat Exchanger working  in  ”one- side-wet” recuperative mode to cool outdoor air during hot summer time . This reduces  the outdoor  air heat  load on the downstream  Heat & Mass Exchanger by up to 75-80% or more.

Substantial removal of sensible heat load  by En Cube heat exchanger, enables reduction of the chiller, often by nearly 30% or more.

En Cube  heat exchanger also works well during winter. It allows the use of free cooling and controls the humidity and significantly lowers the energy consumption in many geographic areas.Installations in Low temperature zones, using winter heating also benefit, due to winter heat recovery.

Data centers, industrial control rooms , IT and C buildings having SHF in excess of 0.9  ,are prime candidates for this most energy efficient technology.

TORO Hybrid air conditioners  significantly reduce the  energy use for air conditioning in large  commercial,  institutional and industrial buildings.

Big ticket retail ,performing theaters,multiplexes ,aircraft and helicopter hangers besides public building such as  railway stations, Central bus terminals of  future  will benefit most  from  this  cost effective, energy efficient and eco- friendly product.
