| What is an Ambiator? |
|
It is a low-cost and low-energy intensive alternative to conventional air conditioning, and works on the principle of two-stage evaporative cooling. The Ambiator is applicable anywhere there is a need for clean, fresh and cool air - offices, hospitals, factories, cinema halls, floriculture, control rooms, DG sheds, compressor rooms, hotels etc.

| Ambiator can be used for |
Comfort conditioning of offices
Industrial ventilation & cooling
Dust-free cool production centres
Pre-cooling of inlet air for gas turbines, compressors & DG sets
|
| Has the Ambiator been certified? |
 The Ambiator is certified by the Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI), as part of the Indo-German Energy Efficiency project.
This programme is to promote cost-effective energy saving retrofits and products based on new innovations, technologies and ideas.

Dear friend,
The Kyoto protocol has been announced. So enjoy.,
Four major trends are affecting the design and application of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and building automation systems in commercial buildings: The critical need for energy efficiency, reliability, and flexibility; Urgency of indoor environmental quality, including air quality, comfort, and sound levels; Demand for open-protocol (and smarter) controls; and Importance of maintenance and retrofit options as a difficult economy throttles investment in new capital equipment.
Facility Managers need to understand that saving money now-even in light of the recent condition of the economy-is not the answer. Proactive spending and preventive steps will save more money over the long term. The bottom line comes at the end of the road...not here and now.
Warmly, Vaidyanathan

ABB's energy conservation initiatives: With Ambiator technology
It's indeed a matter of pride that ABB makes a worthy mention of the Ambiator technology in its annual report. The report refers to the company's energy conservation initiatives, and specifically, the company's air cooling plants and solar heating systems based on Ambiator technology. Way to go!
Do read the full report here.

Sinai Transcription saves Rs. 1.94 lakh annually
Client: A medical transcription company at Bangalore with a floor area of 2300 sq. ft. Challenge: To provide constant, clean indoor air quality and an environment for efficient performance of human and computer resources.
Solution: One 8000 cfm Ambiator costing Rs. 4.76 lakh was installed on the terrace. It cost less, resulted in huge energy cost savings (consumes just 20,000 units). If the company were to install a conventional AC system, it would have to invest Rs. 6 lakhs on the plant and incur an energy consumption of 58,800 units annually.

Kyoto and beyond
|
 |
Nearly seven years after being agreed upon, the Kyoto protocol has finally come into force from February 16. Intended to reduce air pollution from greenhouse gases, the protocol is rekindling hopes that the world will avert major ecological disaster due to global warming.
|
It paves the way for an entirely new form of international commerce by way of carbon trading. Many believe that the emerging business, which will revolve around the trading of harmful gas emission reduction credits, will be much bigger than most other single commodities on the market today.
Elements of the Treaty
Greenhouse gases: Controls emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride.
Targets: Assigns targets for reducing or limiting emissions to 35 industrialized countries.
Trading: Allows emissions trading among countries: Industrial plants that do not use up allocations can sell "credits" to those who overshoot allowances.
Joint implementation: Countries can develop an emissions-reduction project in another country to gain emissions credits.
What is a Sick Building Syndrome
|
 |
Today, the term "Sick Building Syndrome" exemplifies the result of continuously re-circulating the air inside the building. The old saying that you can get sick in a hospital is true. The air containing contaminants of all sorts is being breathed in by everyone. In fact, the "no smoking" section of a public building is a joke. The same air permeates the entire building and is shared by all who breathe it.
|
The Sick Building Syndrome can be overcome through evaporative cooling, the technology that Ambiator uses. It is 100% fresh air-cooling, which means that all the air being cooled is brought in from outside. It is a two-stage evaporative cooling process. In the first stage, incoming air passes through a water-filled heat exchanger that cools without adding moisture. In the second stage, air passes through a water-soaked pad where the temperature drops more and the air picks up water, which increases the humidity.
Carbon trading is a reality With the Kyoto Protocol (KP) for abatement of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) same into force from February 16. The Indian industry is upbeat on the opportunities for implementing cleaner technologies and getting paid for it, too!
The Indian government's commitment to KP has been an encouragement to Indian industry to follow cleaner production initiatives, the principles of which were globally rooted through adoption of UNFCCC at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. From The Financial Express

In 2003, a curious piece appeared in the Wall Street Journal: "A lot of office thermostats are completely fake - meant to dupe you into thinking you've altered the office weather conditions. The specialists are unrepentant. Fed up with complaints from sweaty men and shivering women, HVAC technicians install dummy thermostats to give workers the illusion of control."
