DuHybrid (DB)

Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning System

Powered by Renewable Energy & Electricity
Air Conditioning Dehumidification Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
The DuHybrid air-conditioning system is connected to both thermal energy (Solar Thermal, Cogeneration, Waste Heat, Geothermal Water) and electricity sources. The DuHybrid system automatically alternates between Green energy and electricity, utilizing sun energy when available, operating on the most cost effective, available efficient energy source. With a C.O.P of 12.4 25.6 while operating using a Green energy source the DuHybrid system reduces the required cooling energy by up to 60% compared to standard air conditioning.
Maximizes energy efficiency by the combined usage of green energy and electricity Enables humidity and temperature independent control Improves Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Eliminates 915% of airborn microorganism in the treated air Removes 805% of all particles larger than five microns including allergens

Solar Air-Conditioning Dehumidification/Cooling Saves up to 90% in Energy Costs

600 square meters (6,500 square foot) building cooled with only 6 kW of electricity. Energy savings amounted to 28.09 per square meter
DuCools chiller-free, desiccant-based dehumidification and cooling technology was recently used in the six-story building, Athens, Greece to save 90% on energy costs. The 600 square meters (6,500 square foot) building is now cooled with only 6 kW of electricity to save 16,854 ($22,000) in energy costs per year and 28.09 per square meter ($3.38 per square foot ). DuCools technology uses geothermal water and hot water from a solar thermal system to provide cooling and dehumidification. The management considered a conventional solution which would have consumed 59 kilowatts of electricity for an annual energy cost of 18,762 ($24,700) during 2,650 annual hours of operation. Instead, management utilized a much more energy- and cost-efficient approach based on DuCools desiccantbased dehumidification and cooling technology. The DuCool DH-3400 unit treats the outside air to comfort conditions using only solar-heated water at a temperature of approximately 65C (149F) and geothermal well water at approximately 19C (66.2F). The DH-3400 provides 100% fresh air to the building, providing a substantial improvement in indoor air quality. The use of concentrated natural salt as the air treating media not only dehumidifies and cools the air to very comfortable levels but also eliminates approximately 91% of microorganisms from the air and approximately 80% of airborne particles larger than 5 microns, providing additional improvements in indoor air quality. The total investment in the new approach including the solar panels, geothermal well and DuCool DH-3400 unit is approximately 80,000 ($105,000). The energy consumption is only 6 kW which amounts to a cost of only 1,908 ($2,512) per year, a savings of 16,854 ($22,180) per year. These energy savings pay back the 44,000 ($58,000) additional investment in the DuCool unit in only 2.61 years.
