Energy Storing Efficient Air Conditioner
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: National Energy Technology Laboratory
Product Description:The Energy Storing Efficient Air Conditioner (ESEAC) reinvents air conditioning by integrating dehumidification, cooling and energy storage into one system. ESEAC’s 9-hour storage cuts peak electricity demand by more than 90% and utility costs by 45%, while enhancing comfort and increasing grid reliability. The need for affordable, reliable indoor cooling is on the rise. The Energy Storing Efficient Air Conditioner (ESEAC) reduces electricity consumption by at least 40%, uses storage to cut peak energy demand by 90%, lowers utility bills for building owners by at least 45% annually, supports grid resilience and decarbonization efforts and provides energy storage to utilities at one-tenth the cost of batteries, with less environmental impact. Unlike conventional air conditioners that simultaneously cool and dehumidify using energy-intensive methods, ESEAC separates these functions using a liquid desiccant system. This process requires significantly less energy while storing thermal energy in the form of a salt solution and distilled water. It ensures comfortable humidity levels and better indoor air quality, without over-cooling. Already deployed at U.S. Army bases, big box retailers, restaurants, and more, ESEAC is one of the most efficient, cost-effective and climate-friendly air-conditioning options available.
