Emerging A/C technology brings solutions to hotels

The most common challenges in providing a comfortable hotel environment include cost, sound control and humidity. The most frequent complaint regarding comfort focuses on the temperature being too hot or too cold. – according to a recent study conducted by Clear Seas Research.

AirRevive guestroom fan coil unit refurbishment and re-commissioning services are sustainable, inexpensive alternatives to replacement units and ongoing maintenance issues resulting in energy savings and improved guest comfort.

Turnkey services that slash energy costs

AirRevive re-commissioning costs less than replacement units and reduces guestroom fan coil unit energy costs by up to 80%.  Click here to view energy savings data on AirRevive’s projects.

It is the best practice to have all the building’s fan coil units clean, working uniformly and optimized before programming an EC motor.  By optimizing the building’s fan coil units ahead of time, the EC motor program roll out is efficient and uniform.

AirRevive combines its fan coil refurbishment process with EC motor (ECM) installations to re-commission hotel guestroom fan coil units.

Utilizing EC motors, the airflow is programmed specifically to the fan coil unit’s manufacturer’s specifications. The result is a re-commissioned unit.

AirRevive’s EC motor retrofit service extends the life of the fan coil unit and brings its operating performance to the highest standards.

Air conditioning sound is reduced significantly. Typically after the EC motor retrofit, sound is reduced to the equivalent of less than a whisper.

AirRevive reduces guestroom relative humidity by up to 25%!

AirRevive conducted a case study comparing a hotel guestroom fan coil unit with a PSC motor to a unit AirRevive refurbished and retrofitted with an EC motor (AirRevive recommissioned unit).

The AirRevive unit retrofit with an EC motor is represented by the orange line; the unit with a PSC motor is represented by the blue line.

The re-commissioned unit represented in orange produces lower relative humidity and maintains it at a constant level.

AirRevive’s re-commissioned unit maintains relative humidity below a dry 65% during August in New York City.

The data demonstrates that the EC motor maintained guestroom relative humidity within a narrow band while the PSC motor produced relative humidity that fluctuated widely.

The most frequent complaint regarding guestroom comfort focuses on the temperature being too hot or too cold.

Heating and cooling to the intended temperature set takes longer when fan coil units are not working at their optimal performance. The air tends to blow very cold or hot at first as the unit works towards reaching the intended temperature set. Reaching the accurate temperature may take some time.

AirRevive re-commissioned units reach the intended temperature sets quickly and accurately. This is demonstrated by a case study measuring guestroom temperature over time.
