I am including a sample analysis using some assumptions on your loading.

It would also be useful to know your electricity rate, but for this purpose we will use Baltimore Gas & Electric’s retail rate of 15 cents per kWH.

I would be glad to change the analysis to match your actual data, so please contact us for additional details at: 443-864-3072.

The sample report shows the assumed loading distribution. I am assuming your pump is 97% efficient.

According to the Emerson Electric payback calculator, a motor controller would pay for itself in 2-1/2 years.

Please see download sample report from:

Will this technology be cost efficoent to apply in this situation?

Thus, all of our improvements target an immediate improvement in monthly cash flow for both business and residential customers.

Their home energy audits are inexpensive, especially compared to what you will save. This is an investment you cannot afford to pass.

What is your humidity in your part of Texas? Our relative humidity in the summer is about 80 percent, which impedes the cooling of the coil, and creates a larger latent heat load inside the house.

This is also based on over 3000 sq. ft. of living space being cooled by a central heat pump. The entire electric bill averages $ 300 - $ 400 in the summer months, but that’s because our house is entirely electric, including stove tops, ovens, water heater, etc.

We are going to knock down some of our water heating expenses by using the Solahart solar water heater to pre-heat water coming into our hot water tank. This should reduce up to 90% of our water heating electric power usage.

Then, in addition to the cool-n-save, we are also reducing air conditioning operating expenses by more effectively regulating solar radiation via solar reflectors, which will also reduce our winter heating load.

As far as the accuracy of the figures, we have installed an Eniscope, which is a component of Enigin’s EnergyMaps program. The Eniscope effectively isolates many electrical parameters and allows one to see where energy is being wasted. Although we recommend the Eniscope as an energy reduction tool for small to medium-sized businesses, we have installed one at our home as a demo unit, which has been operating flawlessly for almost a year. During that time, the Eniscope has been uploading energy usage data to a remote database, where our EnergyMaps software allows us to graph historical trends and looks for patterns which give us clues as to how to further save energy in a facility.

As far as the parts are concerned, is a product really just worth the sum of its parts or the total cost of its materials? If that were true, we could take your computer and break it down into $ 5.00 worth of plastic, $ 3.00 worth of steel and copper, $ 15.00 worth of precious metals and other materials, and less than 25 cents worth of silicon.

Total material cost of your computer would then be about $ 23.00, but how much did you pay for it?

It is true that that figure does not take into account all the engineering, manufacturing time, management overhead, and marketing costs.

Now, measure its value in terms of what it does for you. This would produce a much higher figure. Since I assume you own a computer, you must have put its perceived value high enough to purchase it.

The same is true for the cool-n-save. First of all, we welcome your industriousness and invite you to purchase a correct-sized flapper and connect it to a valve which splits filtered water from your garden hose into three fine misters delivering at just the right rate of water misting so that the mist droplets will enter your condensing unit without settling on the cooling coils, yet disperse enough so that a large percentage of the air entering the condensing unit has been cooled due to the mist’s evaporation effects.

The Tulane study shows an in-depth analysis of the misting effect, and is available for download.

Furthermore, the government’s Energy Star seal should also boost your confidence.

As for us, we haven’t calculated our actual energy savings since our pattern of usage is much different this year from last year’s due to travel and other factors. However, on those really hot days in mid-summer when we were home, we were happy that our air conditioner seemed to get a turbo boost of power from the cool-n-save, and we definitely felt more comfortable. That was worth the $ 100 to us.

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate your skepticism, because as an engineer, I go through the same analytical thought process before I believe a claim.

I hope this explanation helped.

By the way, your energy usage is low already, and the cool-n-save is probably not a great investment to you. Congratulations on keeping your energy bill so low! Maybe you have some tips for us? If you do, please post them here.

Also, looks like an intersting product, but $100? For what looks like about $5-10 worth of parts?
