FAQ
A: Yes, except for centrifugal and vapor absorption system.
A: 20 – 35% for air cooled condensers and 8 – 10% for water cooled.
A: No, on the contrary, Articmaster will enhance the life of the compressor as it will reduce the load on the compressor by a min of 20%.
A: Articmaster product range can be installed on air-conditioners ranging from 1 T to 1000 T.
A: Articmaster does not have any electrical or moving parts and hence there is no maintenance after the installation.
A:
| 1. Articmaster increases the condensing area by pushing the liquid at the Sub cooling from the condenser. |
2. The increased condensing area makes the discharge pressure to drop. The drop in discharge pressure reduces the current drawn by the compressor. |
3. The drop in discharge pressure also reduces the temperature of the refrigerant due to better condensing (P ∝ T). |
4. The liquid refrigerant entering into Articmaster is made to rotate in a Whirlpool/ Vortex motion. |
5. The swirling whirlpool creates a low pressure at the centre making the liquid to sub cool further. |
|
6. The colder evaporator coil temperature increases the condensation level of moisture in the air, removing more moisture and latent heat. 7. As the evaporator coil becomes colder, the delta T at the evaporator is increased – Room set point is attained quickly making the compressor to cut off quickly or makes compressor to reduce load. Less energy is needed to run the compressor. Less current drawn by the compressor while running also reduces the energy consumption. Enhances the life of compressor.

A: Articmaster is certified by ASME, UL and it is manufactured from an ISO company from USA.
A: Articmaster can be effectively used in Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heat pump applications.
A: Yes, but need to specify the type especially for R410a.
A: Normally it will take 4 – 8 hours.
A: More than 30 years useful life and we give 3 year warranty.
A: Yes, case to case approval is given by OEMs and AMCs for installation of Articmaster. Since the savings is 20%, our clients talk to the OEMs/AMCs to accept installation of Articmaster. With this kind of savings they can afford to recover the cost of the AC/Chillers within 2-3 years.
A: Average payback period is less than 2 years.
A: Yes, Articmaster will give savings in BEE rated AC products.
A: No, it is a condenser controller that reduces the delivery pressure and increases the condensing area of the condenser.
A: Yes, but this additional charge stays inside the Articmaster.
A: An Accumulator is a device that is connected after the evaporator and helps to avoid liquid flood back to the compressor whereas Articmaster is installed at the condenser circuit. The Accumulator holds the unabsorbed liquid refrigerant and allows only the vapor to go to the compressor suction so that it avoids any liquid flood back and thus avoiding spoiling the compressor and the accumulator does not increase the cooling efficiency or reduce energy consumption of the HVAC system. Whereas Articmaster helps HVAC system to improve the efficiency and thus saves energy.
A: A receiver in the HVAC system does not reduce/alter the delivery pressure. A receiver does not increase the sub cooling level of the refrigerant. A receiver does not condense the flash gas and introduction of a receiver will not give increase the cooling efficiency or reduction of energy whereas Articmaster does all of the above.
A: There is also delivery pressure drop. The drop in delivery pressure is more than the drop in suction pressure making the CR to a lower number.
- BRIDLE (Model No:BR 100) can be fitted on Consumer Air conditioners that run on single-phase power.
- However, BRIDLE (Model No: BR300 Series) can be used with 3 phase higher capacity package/ductable ACs and multi-compressor units..
INVERTER/VRF/MULTI SPLIT is not compatible with BRIDLE THERMOSTAT.
No; BRIDLE-PRO cannot be used with the Inverter AC unit as BRIDLE currently doesn’t communicate with the OUTDOOR UNIT.
But BRIDLE-NDX intelligent IR Blaster can be used to manage and control Inverter ACs from Remote Cloud.
Yes, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power – Govt. of India issued a notification on recommended cooling set points for building spaces and their impact on Energy conservation and reduction of GHG/CO2 emissions.
Bridle is designed to achieve this goal primarily by locking the SETPOINTS and giving only access to authorized to change the setpoints; Which enables organizations to contribute to their sustainability initiatives by reduction of CO2 emissions from HVAC operations.
Bridle works in such a way that it continuously monitors the wasted energy and puts it to efficient use. The savings keep varying based on ambient conditions and patterns of usage. An average annual savings of 30% can be expected.
BRIDLE enhances the energy efficiency of air conditioners if the runtime is more than 6-7 Hours. But still BRIDLE Temperature lock can ensure savings lesser than projected.
BRIDLE is fixed outside/inside the AC unit, and installation can be done by any trained AC technician in a matter of few minutes.
BRIDLE does not alter any mechanical/Electrical or HVAC mechanisms. BRIDLE does not bypass any operation of the HVAC unit, therefore it is safe to use.
In the event of any failure on BRIDLE; the Air conditioner continues to operate. There is no need to panic, and you can at leisure call our service support to fix the BRIDLE fault separately. BRIDLE notifies the user of the app with pre-defined ERROR CODES if any of its hardware fails.
BRIDLE is a plug-and-use device and does not require any periodical maintenance. However, you need to periodically maintain your AC unit as you did under normal conditions.
No, BRIDLE is not a power conditioning device; it is always recommended to use a Voltage stabilizer to protect your AC/COMPRESSOR from Power surges.
BRIDLE is not an energy saver or power saver.
BRIDLE is a smart thermostat that efficiently manages your average room temperature with dynamic dead-band and locks set temperature based on company policy to maintain and restrict unauthorized changes in temperature. By controlling all factors BRIDLE monitors the wastage of energy and can contribute to saving up to 30% even in 5-STAR AC.
BRIDLE will maintain desired comfort levels, and that can be evidently seen on the app provided and from the cloud. In the event of the AC unit having problems such as low gas pressure/clogged vents/undersized…etc. BRIDLE will still maintain the achievable comfort levels as your AC unit did under normal conditions.
