Iranian Company Makes 1st AI-Based Air Conditioning Controller

“The air conditioning controllers produced automatically measure and control the temperature and air conditioning of the house,” Samyar Haqiqat, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.

Noting that in the past, the controllers were linear, he said, “We were able to design and produce them based on AI and this progress was accompanied by obtaining a knowledge-based certificate and has led to the mass production of these products.”

“This product enjoys many advantages and the device acts based on information and calculations to predict the switching on and off of the facility, and it has deep learning capabilities, meaning that we enter the building load calculations based on AI into the microcontroller, and this microcontroller stores the information and energy calculations of the space for 365 days a year,” Haqiqat said.

“Also, this controller, with its ability to communicate with room temperature and humidity sensors and weather sites, can accurately predict the temperature of the desired environment, which saves 35% energy,” he added.

In a relevant development last February, one of the technological companies stationed at the Kerman Science and Technology Park in the Southeastern part of Iran had offered gas and solar-powered air conditioners that can reduce electricity consumption in the country considerably.

“As the Energy Ministry has announced its readiness to buy electrical power generated by the companies which are capable of manufacturing solar power plants, we managed to be more active in the field of solar systems and implementation of solar power plants,” Morteza Ahmadiyeh, the managing director of the technological company, said in an interview with local Iranian media.

“Gas-solar air conditioners are one of our products. Since 2006, we have been the only manufacturer of this type of air conditioners,” he added.

Stating that these air conditioning systems are of great importance during peak hours of electricity consumption, Ahmadiyeh said, “These air-conditioning systems come in two models. The first class works with electricity and the solar power reducing electricity consumption significantly. The second class of this coolers are gas air-conditioners that work solely with the solar power. This product is ready for commercialization,” he added.

According to him, the machine is automatically connected to the power grid when there is no sunlight and it does not need to batteries.
