Iran-Made Evaporative Coolers Reduces Power Consumption by 60%
The company has managed to indigenize the technology for manufacturing brushless DC motors or BLDC motors, said Amir Naqiha, a member of the research group.
“This type of motor was patented in the United States for the first time,” he said, adding, “We produced the motor in the country with the help of Iranian technical knowledge.”
He added that the motor has been manufactured especially for evaporative coolers.
“The capability of BLDC motors compared to conventional motors is that by using a driver and a smart key, the temperature of the building can be adjusted using sensors placed inside the smart key,” he added.
This sensor can be adjusted in seven different modes. The indigenized motors have a type of coil and magnet that can adjust the ambient temperature with less energy consumption, he explained.
For his part, Mohammad Tavakkoli, the managing director of the company, said that a 36-month replacement warranty has been considered for the product.
Referring to the waterproofness of the motor body as another advantage of the product, he added that the switch of the product has a lifeguard.
It checks the temperature of the building and automatically increases or decreases the motor speed by seven steps based on the air temperature in the room.
Moreover, the smart switch has the ability to connect to a mobile phone. So, users can connect to the product software with a mobile phone and increase and decrease the motor speed.
Currently, some 800,000 evaporative coolers are using the product in the country, he said.
If each of the coolers saves 200 watts of electricity, it will reduce the country’s electricity consumption by 160 megawatts.
If the product is installed on about 18 million evaporative coolers that are operating in Iran, the problem of power cuts will be reduced to a great extent, Tavakkoli stressed.
“By using the product, we can save 5,500 megawatts of electricity annually,” he concluded.
