The Problem / Task

One of the most important factors affecting the quality, safety and storage life of agricultural and food products is temperature. Transportation and storage of such products is critical because a low temperature environment is required to maintain good quality of food. Usually such type of environment is maintained by cold storage and ware houses. To maintain low temperature air conditioner units are used. For efficient operation, it is required to operate two air conditioner units automatically one after the other in order to distribute load and save energy.

The Solution

High capacity air conditioners are used to maintain the temperature in the cold storage. For distribution of load and energy saving automatic scheduling of air conditioner units is being done by GIC time switch. This can be achieved by limiting the capacity of refrigeration rather than switching it off overnight. GIC digital time switch Crono helps in both limiting and scheduling of air conditioner units. The digital time switch Crono automatically switch ON/OFF air conditioner units as per predefined schedule. This helps in distribution of load and save significant amount of energy during off-peak load. It also avoids the over usage of air conditioner units thereby reducing maintenance costs.

Benefits

  • Precise scheduling of air conditioner units as per programming.
  • Save operational cost.
  • Low power consumption prevents energy and money.
  • Helps in increasing life span of air conditioner.
  • Reset and manual override function helps to run air conditioner at full load condition.
  • Simple user control through shortcut keys on the device.

Why GIC

The Result

  • Enables user to Schedule distribution of loads.
  • Cost optimization due to load sharing.
  • Reduce energy consumption, hence conserve energy.
  • Enable optimum power consumption for the desired output.
