EffTec Signs Master License Agreement With EffTec Australia

2007-05-23

Efficiency Technologies, Inc., (EffTec) has signed an exclusive Master License Agreement with EffTec Australia for the promotion and sale of EffTrack chiller monitoring and diagnostic software service in Australia and the Asian Pacific Rim.

The Australian chiller market is dominated by contract chiller service companies who regularly maintain chillers. The EffTrack software system will allow service companies to web monitor contracted chillers from one location and rapidly respond to chiller inefficiencies when the EffTrack system alerts them to operational problems.

The EffTec Australia chiller market is driven by the demand for energy conservation, the reduction in green house gas emissions, and the scarcity of water resources.

The Asian Pacific Rim is one of the fastest growing population regions on the globe. Subtropical climate requires continuous chiller operations and when coupled with high energy costs (electricity costs are greater than .20 per KWH), make chillers the major consumer of electricity in the dense population centers and resort areas of the Asian Pacific Rim region.

EffHVAC Saves Mid-West Hospital over $100,000 Energy Costs

2004-11-19

Committed to best maintenance practices, the hospital engineering team subscribed to a new cost-effective, Internet-based chiller energy efficiency tool developed by Efficiency Technologies, Inc. (EffTec) called EffHVAC. EffHVAC analyzes centrifugal chiller log data, calculates and trends chiller performance and troubleshoots problems. EffHVAC has advanced charting and reporting capabilities that make it possible to verify even the slightest improvements in operations. It provides cost analysis including water usage and affords facilities the ability to improve operations and their bottom line.

Log sheet data was input for 2003 to create a baseline and the reports were compared to the reports for 2004. This increased awareness and improved general operations such as entering condenser water temperature adjustments, gauge and sensor calibrations, scheduled maintenance, monitoring weather conditions, adding/shedding chillers, flow adjustments and the chiller configuration changes (load profiling). These plant improvements have resulted in substantially lower energy costs.

From January to October 2004, the plant produced more tons of cooling at a lower cost per ton, equating to $100,373 total cost avoidance in energy usage. For a not-for-profit hospital that operates on a 2 percent profit margin, this is equivalent to bringing in $5,018,650 in new business. The total energy cost avoidance through 2004 is conservatively expected to be over $120,000. The continual improvement through 2005 is expected to yield even greater results.

EffTec will provide tickets for free admission to the exhibit hall at the Austin Convention Center.

EffHVAC can Help Save Industry Billions in Energy Costs

2004-07-16

Chillers are the single largest energy-using component in most facilities, and can typically consume up to 50% of the facility's electrical usage. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that chillers expend up to 30% in additional energy through inefficiency, which may further result in decreased equipment reliability and shortened lifespan. There are over 100,000 chillers in the United States, costing industry billions of dollars in energy costs annually through chiller inefficiency.

Example:(based on operating 24 hour / 365 days at .91 Kw/Ton vs. a design of .7 Kw/Ton at $0.06/Kw)

A large chiller, producing 3,000 average tons per hour, running at 70% efficiency can cost an incredible, additional $331,128 in electricity per year or an average additional $27,549 per month!

Efficiency Technologies, Inc. (EffTec) has developed a powerful, easy-to-use, online diagnostic service called EffHVACTM(tm) that affords facilities the ability to document, monitor, evaluate and manage centrifugal chiller system performance and improve their bottom line.

A world-class chiller maintenance program begins with keeping a daily operating log, which can be input into EffHVAC. If an entry is out of range, an alarm is triggered identifying problems and providing detailed troubleshooting guidelines. Troubleshooting includes: what triggered the alarm, the possible cause of the alarm, symptoms of the potential problem, things to check and possible problems if gone unchecked. With the help of EffHVAC's proprietary troubleshooting and data interpretation formulas, customers are identifying and correcting a range of problems including bad or uncalibrated gauges and sensors, flow problems and plant design problems, which when corrected, can lead to improved overall chiller efficiency and operations.

EffHVAC analyzes and organizes log entries to calculate the chiller's efficiency, generate reports and trend performance. EffHVAC uses a proprietary Calculated Part Load Value (CPLV) that gives extremely accurate efficiency and costs results even when chillers are running at part loads and varying entering condenser water temperatures. This enhances any previously performed part load tests, which are used to determine optimum conditions for maximum efficiency.

EffHVAC reports include:

Kw/Ton efficiencies charts
average efficiency pie charts
tons produced charts
costs charts
operating averages and totals
chiller start/stop times and run hours
makeup, blowdown, evaporation, cycles of concentration and projected evaporation credit
Monthly reports can be created with the click of a button, for any month, and also includes year-to-date totals. With these reports you can identify inefficiencies, monitor chiller health, pinpoint problems, justify expenditures, extend chiller life, refine operating procedures and calculate the most efficient chiller configurations. It's easy to see that for a single chiller, EffHVAC can help save thousands of dollars a year in energy costs alone.

EffTec is dedicated to developing energy efficiency programs for commercial/ industrial HVAC systems. EffTec offers comprehensive and flexible HVAC consulting and training. Our team consists of industry-recognized experts in HVAC system design, efficiency, preventive and proactive maintenance, repair, chemistry, computer programming and marketing. Visit www.EffTec.com for more information.
