Oak Ridge: Government Test Measures ~20% Efficiency Gain
The Oak Ridge Center for Manufacturing Technology tested the APR Control on the lead 6.25-ton stage of a 12.5-ton unit and measured a nearly 20% efficiency gain.
The Challenge
The Oak Ridge Center for Manufacturing Technology needed to evaluate energy-saving solutions for air-conditioning systems in government facilities, with data solid enough to guide adoption.
The Solution
The Rawal APR Control was installed on the lead 6.25-ton stage of a 12.5-ton Trane self-contained air conditioner, and the team ran a direct electrical power-consumption comparison before and after installation.
The Results
The measured data made the case on its own, and:
- Showed an efficiency gain of nearly 20% with the APR Control installed
- Demonstrated higher operating efficiency and significant energy savings
- Led Oak Ridge to recommend the APR Control across government facilities as an inexpensive retrofit
