Iranian Technicians Produce System for Engine Houses to Save Energy

“Our focus is on designing and making intelligent control systems for buildings and engine houses. The intelligent control system for the building and engine houses, the intelligent control system for server rooms, the intelligent control system of the poultry farms and the intelligent control system for greenhouse are among our achievements,” said Mehdi Kargar, one of the researchers of the knowledge-based company that is based in South Khorasan Province’s Science and Technology Park located in the Northeastern part of Iran.

“The advantages of this system include elimination of user and human error, easy and extensive access to all equipment and monitoring and management of heavy engine houses equipment such as chillers or compressor in an automated way with critical parameters,” Kargar said.

“Any errors and damage to these systems can inflict a lot of costs, but these damages can be prevented by using this equipment,” he added.

This researcher pointed to the reduction in energy consumption as one of the other advantages of their smart control systems, adding, “These systems will save gas by 50% and reduce electricity consumption by 30%.”

“In some regions in the country, for example South Khorasan province, there is a big difference between day and night temperatures while equipment and facilities are designed for the worst building capacity. These facilities usually do not change capacity in day and night temperature conditions; however, these intelligent monitoring systems are able to change the program in those facilties according to the temperature outside and inside the building,” added the researcher.

He further noted that the intelligent control system increases the durability of those equipment by 30%.

“Monitoring, storing and troubleshooting all engine houses equipment and identifying and fixing defects, controlling all equipment from a distance of one kilometer and the ability to monitor and control equipment through the Internet and communication and control through SMS platform, storing data and system changes in an Excel file in flash memory card, as well as a significant reduction in equipment depreciation are considered some of the other advantages of this intelligent company's engine house systems,” Kargar further noted.

The researcher further said that they have already installed the domestically-made intelligent system in dozens of engine houses, adding that the system has increased the productivity and efficiency rates in those facilities.
