The TrilliumSeries Condenser

The TrilliumSeries Condenser uses a patented Dry-Coil Adiabatic Design that saves energy, reduces refrigerant charge, and lowers operating costs. With the use of proprietary logic and sophisticated controls, the On-Demand Adiabatic Pre-Cooler uses water only on the hottest days to maintain condensing temperatures that typical air cooled technology cant achieve.

Notes for the TrilliumSeries Condenser Payback Chart: 1. California Title 24 pricing equation for air cooled condensers. 2. California Title 24 2013, effective on 1-1-2014, states all condensers must have VFDs to control fan motors. 3. Condensing temperature for air cooled is set at 100-110F depending on the climate; TrilliumSeries Condenser is set at 95F. 4. In Phoenix and Los Angeles, the first cost of a TrilliumSeries Condenser is lower than the first cost of an air cooled condenser. 5. The cities were selected based on climate conditions.

Modes of Operation
Dry Mode
Warm Air Out

The ambient air at the dry bulb temperature passes through the pads and then over the microchannels. The ambient air condenses the refrigerant in the microchannel coils which is then returned to the evaporators.

Adiabatic Pads

On-Demand Adiabatic
Pre-Cooler Mode
On days when the load is high and the ambient air temperature is high the unit will run in On-Demand Adiabatic Pre-Cooler Mode. Water is evenly sprayed over highly efficient cooling pads. As the air passes through the pads, water is evaporated in to the air, and the air is humidified, cooling temperatures down to 2-3 F above wet-bulb temperature. Such substantial depression of the dry bulb temperature results in a major increase in dry cooling capacity. The cooler air passes over the microchannel and condenses the refrigerant in the microchannel which is then returned to the compressor. In the sump there is an industrial duty pump that recirculates the water. The EcoFlex Controls determine when the water is purged from the sump. Part of the distributed water is evaporated, while the excess water assists in rinsing the pad to keep it free from debris and minerals that would otherwise stay behind on the pad after evaporation.

Rebate Map

Potential rebates are available for decreased energy use. These opportunities are highlighted in blue on the map above. As illustrated, a majority of states offer utility incentives and rebates which further decrease the initial investment of the TrilliumSeries Condenser.
There are various types of rebates available for energy savings and are dependent on utility regulations.
Type of Rebate Utility Details

Custom Refrigeration VFDs on Fan Motors or Other Controls

Arizona APS California Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) California SCE-Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Programs

Custom Measures and Retro-commissioning: $0.11/ kWh saved up to 75% of incremental cost Refrigeration Equipment: $35-$1000/unit Air Conditioning and Refrigeration: $0.09 - $0.15/kWh saved Variable Frequency Drives: $80/HP Refrigeration Controls: $75-$100/Controller

The above are examples based on information from dsireusa.org. Dsireusa.org is a website with information on state, local, utility, and federal incentives and policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. Established in 1995 and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, DSIRE is an ongoing project of the N.C. Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. For custom rebates, an analysis of the overall system energy savings from air-cooled to the TrilliumSeries Condenser maybe necessary. This analysis is available from Baltimore Aircoil Company along with any application support.
