| Evergreen IM motor for home heating/cooling systems  Until recently, any homeowner wanting an energy-efficient heating/cooling system in their home had to purchase an entirely new system, an investment of thousands of dollars. The introduction of the Evergreen IM motor has given homeowners a new option. Rather than purchasing an entirely new heating/cooling system, a homeowner can opt to have the motor in their existing system replaced with an Evergreen motor at a fraction of the cost. Like a compact-fluorescent replacement for a typical light bulb, Evergreen is the high-efficiency replacement for a standard blower motor.Many homes have traditional "single-stage" heating and cooling (HVAC) systems that function in either "on" or "off" mode, resulting in a sudden blast of air followed by a period of inactivity. More sophisticated "two-stage" systems run continuously at a low setting and then switch to a higher setting when the thermostat dictates. Running continuously at a low setting keeps the home's air circulating and, thus, the temperature more even. Two-stage systems incorporate a highly efficient motor called ECM (electronically commutated motor), which uses up to 74% fewer watts than a single-stage motor. This can save homeowners up to 25% on their home energy bills. Evergreen benefits the homeowner in the following ways: - Uses less energy - Ramps up gently, eliminating uncomfortable temperature swings - Operates quietly, without noisy on/off cycles - Improves air flow, maximizing filtration systems and benefiting allergy sufferers - Balances temperatures and minimizes hot and cold spots The Evergreen replacement motor can be installed quickly and easily into most HVAC systems. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
