DX Cooling Opportunity

HVAC systems that mix fresh air and building return air to varying quantities for cooling purposes often have control logic comparing the total heat content of the outdoor to the total heat content of the return air.

Battle against climate change

Logical approaches to addressing climate change in the HVAC industry can provide both indoor and outdoor environmental improvement as well as financial benefits. Sample energy reductions calculated by the building owners present paybacks about one year while they reported superior indoor conditions for their building occupants.

The fundamental science of a major climate change solution was first presented in a patent from 1874. It is based on a more efficient hydraulic piston.

Another more efficient piston labelled the Diamond-Shaped Actuator (DSA) was patented internationally by the president of APS in 1999. It was applied in a practical climate change solution.

The application was based on three accepted scientific facts:

The DSA is more efficient than standard pistons. (Confirmed by multiple scientists/engineers.)

When a standard piston and a DSA are opposed, more fluid is pumped from the standard piston than the DSA requires, with both at identical pressure.

Logic explanation

Applying the hydraulic formula Work = Pressure times Volume change (W= P∆V) to the volume change in the piston and the volume change in the DSA concludes with the Work input off the DSA being less than the Work output of the piston. (Win ˂ Wout).

The greater value of Wout minus Win produced surplus Work. This provides the energy to run a reciprocating hydraulic machine that provides its own energy and provides surplus external energy.

Section thirteen of the APS training manual contains multiple reports on the system’s development.
