The V-Blox Voltage Conditioning & Power Optimization Systems

From Total Energy Concepts

A systematic, retrofitted approach to Optimizing and Protecting electrical equipment which results in a more efficient electrical distribution system. TEC and its Vendors/Suppliers use the highest manufacturing processes and utilizes certified engineering standards during production.

All TEC and its Vendors/Suppliers manufactured equipment and installations meet and exceed the following standards: UL listed, MET listed, ABS PDA.

The SYSTEMATIC Approach

VOLTAGE CONDITIONING

AND PROTECTION

• Voltage = Pressure• Needs to be Regulated• Plumbing is Regulated• Excess Pressure = Wasted Energy• 90% of Irregularities Generated

within the Facility’s OWN Electrical System

• Systematic Approach – Optimal!

Voltage Conditioning

Power Surges/Lightening Strikes are more than just high energy voltage spikes that are usually associated with thunderstorms, they can cause serious damage. A lightning strike up to 3 miles away can still cause damage.

V-Blox Voltage Conditioning System• Side Effect – Umbrella of Power Protection over

the Facility

Power Protection

Reduce maintenance & downtime costs, premature fluorescent failures, extended equipment life cycle

Less replacements means less waste in the landfills

Fastest Clamping Speed in the industry

15 Year Product Warranty

$25,000 downstream equipment protection per occurrence

Total Protection Equals Total Peace of Mind.

Why Should You be Optimized/Protected by V-Blox?

POWER OPTIMIZATION

What is Power Factor?The ratio of real power to apparent power as illustrated here:

What Causes Low Power Factor?Inductive load (Transformers, electric loads, line loss & lighting)

Why Should You Care To Improve Your Power Factor? • Eliminate electrical production waste, thereby increasing your facilities

load capabilities• Immediate reduction in kW which equates to lower cost and CO2 emissions• Decreased maintenance and downtime

You are Paying for a Full Glass…….

Improve distribution of electricity

Reduce heat and line losses

Increase voltage consistency (Normalized Pressure)

Eliminate penalties and increase energy savings

Increase capacity to add more equipment without modifying electrical grid

Complete Optimization Means Less Power for Your Utility to Provide

Why Should You Optimize with V-Blox?

How Does the V-Blox System Work?

Every panel is completely protected with a V-Blox VCU.

The V-Blox VCU is built with one thing in mind, capture any damaging transient surge before it harms the valuable equipment in the facility.

Power from the utility company enters the facility. The reactive energy is captured by our V-Blox PFC System and recycled.

The V-Blox PFC System is custom made to the reactive needs of your electrical equipment therefore making it completely hands-free and self-sustaining.

As a result, there is not only a significant monetary savings but also a reduction in CO2 Emissions.

THE RESULTTotal protection and complete energy optimization to ensure the facility is operating at the highest efficiency level possible.

Reduced maintenance costs & downtime

Extended electrical equipment life

Decreased carbon footprint

Save ENERGY, Save MONEY

Minimizes utility penalties when applicable

Increased efficiency

Smartcool Systems Inc.

Providing effective and reliable energy efficiency solutions for

HVAC-R customers around the globe.

What Does Smartcool Do?• Smartcool reduces the electricity usage (kWh) and

demand (kW) of air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump systems by improving the energy efficiency of their compressors.

• Smartcool delivers cutting edge energy efficiency and cost reduction solutions for customers around the world

• The ECO3, a modular retrofit technology, can be applied in air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pumps systems

• Average payback period for customers is 18 to 36 months.

ECO3 Features• Reduces compressor run times

• Usage (kWh) savings averaging 15-20%

• Interfaces with existing controls

• No risk to current equipment or effect on manufacturer warranty

• Maintains temperature and humidity performance

• Two models: • Single Channel, for use with a single compressor• Dual Channel, use with two compressors cooling same controlled space

So…how does it work?

• Chart illustrates the percentage of energy used per drop in temperature degree.

• The last degree of pull down uses 28% of the total energy for the cycle

Background Theory

Unfortunately, this increases the mid point temperature from 7.5°C to 8°C.

Technology Overview• Compressor optimization dynamically adjusts the length of each

operating cycle in order to have the compressor run more often at a higher suction pressure where it is most energy efficient.

• Smartcool achieves greater energy efficiency for the compressor without allowing the compressor to short cycle and without affecting the controlled space temperature.

What it means for you…

• One Smartcool can save 500-1500 kWh per month! On average, this is equivalent to:

• Reducing 9 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere

• Planting 45 Trees

• Reducing an SUV’s mileage by 950 miles per month

TWO PART – Catalyst added to Refrigeration Systems

Designed to Mitigate Oil Fouling (Plaque in Arteries/Veins)• ASHRE states that in as little as 3-5 years from being NEW, Oil Fouling can contribute to up to

as much as a 30% reduction in the refrigeration cycle efficiency

Gets installed into the existing refrigeration oil/refrigerant system

Significant Savings in ALL types of HVAC Systems

Results in LESS Compressor/System Run Time

Doesn’t Interfere with Any Existing Manufacturer’s Warranties
