Energy saving

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

I heard of an energy saving device called "XXXXXX" to be used in conjunction with existing air cooled HVAC systems(As a retrofit)which can give as much as 20% saving on energy.They claim in water cooled systems 8%.no moving parts at all.I saw some of the testimonials also .Is there any such device which can save this much electrical energy without deteriorating any performance of the system?Is it advisable to fit ?
Expecting valuable replies from you guys.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Energy saving

Yu can contact the manufacturer company and discuss with their application engineers, they would be happy to help you and this is their job.

RE: Energy saving

Give us more of a hint. Where does it go in a water-cooled system?

Best to you,

RE: Energy saving

if someone promises you 20% savings and didn't back it up with information, i woudl file that along with the 100-mpg carburator.

RE: Energy saving

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

If it looks like poop and smells like poop, it's poop.

RE: Energy saving

Does it use water maybe? evap cooling on a dx condenser would get you saving like that....
water on a condenser that isn't coated correctly will rot the coil.
I have a timer that can force your AC off for 12 minutes an hour, thats a 20% saving right there no?

RE: Energy saving

Waramanga, your timer sounds like a winner and with a bit of adjustment it would be possible to give you 100% saving.
