How does it work? Why is it better?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
The same high efficiency scroll and piston type compressors used in all A/C systems
are also found in our units. But, the Thermal Flow System uses a water cooled evaporative
condenser to remove heat from the freon. Air cooled systems use an aluminum finned air
cooled condenser to do the same job. However, with air cooled units, the efficiency of the
system is directly related to the outdoor temperature.
All systems have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating which is based on
an outside temperature of 82°F. On a hot day (95°F and up), air cooled systems rated
at 12 on the SEER scale operate below 10 SEER, or, as the temperature rises, even lower.
When it's hot, your need for cooling increases, but the air cooled system loses both
capacity and efficiency. The water cooled system loses neither as the temperature rises.
In fact, on extremely hot days, the evaporative water cooled unit actually improves
in efficiency and capacity. (see chart below)
