The Texas-based PowerCold Corporation announced that it will ship several Nauticon evaporative condensers to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for evaluation. The Nauticon units will be retrofitted into a chiller in a large air conditioning project. The entire project is expected to generate between $700,000-$800,000 for PowerCold.
According to the company’s initial study, if the project is totally refitted with Nauticon units, the result will be a reduction of power demand by over 48 percent without losing any air conditioning capacity and the project's air conditioning utility bill will be reduced by well over half.
It will only take two to four weeks of operation this summer for the needed comparisons to be made between the Nauticon evaporative chiller and the project's existing air-cooled chillers. If the initial Nauticon units operate successfully, all the project's air-cooled chillers are expected to be retrofitted with Nauticon units.
"A very prominent UAE family owns this commercial enterprise. We hope this project will become a showplace for our Nauticon units that could lead to a wide range of opportunities throughout the Gulf and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," PowerCold CEO Frank Simola commented.
PowerCold markets energy efficient and environmentally safe equipment. PowerCold's patented Nauticon evaporative water-cooled condenser is designed to improve heating, air- conditioning and refrigeration efficiency and reduce power costs over the typical commercial air-cooled condensers. — (menareport.com)
