  • Publication number: 20130042995
    Abstract: The ACEnergySaver is a system that consisting of a low-voltage water-controlling solenoid, tubing, fittings, wire-harness and spray-nozzles to easily, properly and effectively: a) attached to an air conditioner; b) control and regulate specific quantity, angle and size of water particles (spray) to the cooling fins/coil; c) connect to a water supply. It extends equipment longevity and saves electricity by causing: a) evaporative cooling, b) rapid coolant conversion from liquid to gas, c) reduced pressure resistance the compressor to cool faster and optimize efficiency. Pressurized supply-water enters a solenoid valve, connected to the low-voltage terminal(s) of the joined air conditioner's relay to open simultaneously with the compressor to pass 4water onto the cooling fins through the system.
