"EcoSara" achieves energy savings through zero-energy pre-cooling and reheating. It processes humidity by supplying dry air indoors.

"EcoSara" is a dehumidifying air supply unit that performs pre-cooling and re-heating with zero energy consumption. It not only reduces the energy required for cooling dehumidification but also eliminates the need for a reheat thermal source (such as hot water or electric heaters), achieving energy savings while providing comfortable, dry air for indoor environments. There are examples of reducing primary energy consumption by 78% in food factories (with a payback period of 2.5 years for this case). It is also suitable for facilities that require a large amount of outside air for ventilation. Awarded the Energy Conservation Grand Prize in 2021!

The main cause is the inflow of drafts! This leads to the growth of mold due to condensation and the intrusion of insects and dust, worsening the sanitary environment.

Concerns related to food facilities include the intrusion of insects and dust, condensation in cooling systems, powder adhesion, condensation at ceiling vents, and mold on ceilings and walls. The main cause is the inflow of drafty air. The inflow of humid drafty air leads to condensation, which causes mold growth and the intrusion of insects and dust, worsening the sanitary environment. Condensation occurs when the dew point temperature of the air is higher than the surface temperature. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult with us. 【For these concerns】 ■ Intrusion of insects and dust ■ Condensation in cooling systems ■ Powder adhesion ■ Condensation at ceiling vents ■ Mold on ceilings and walls *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Final answer to the solution! Introducing positive pressure in EcoSara.

We will introduce the flow for solving issues such as drafts and condensation. Solutions such as pressurization through the introduction of outside air, pressurization through the introduction of cooled and dehumidified air, and pressurization through the introduction of re-heated dehumidified air have disadvantages, including energy costs. By using "EcoSara" for pressurization, there are no drafts, no condensation, and no decrease in room temperature, while achieving reasonable energy costs. 【Features of Pressurization with EcoSara】 ■ No drafts ■ No condensation ■ No decrease in room temperature ■ Reasonable energy costs *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
