Energy Saving Technology

EST (Energy Saving Technology) is applied to the Johnson Controls fan coil units and cassette units. It permits
to obtain extremely low electrical absorption and a continuous modulation of the air flow, constantly related to
the concrete need of energy in the room.
EST technology is composed by a brushless motor combined to a dedicated electronic device (inverter),
managed by specific regulators developed by Johnson Controls.
In comparison to the traditional units equipped with asynchronous three-speed-motors, the fan coil and cassette
units with brushless motors can obtain a considerable energy saving, by reducing the power consumption up
to 70%.

Energy saving with EST fancoil EST fan coil absorption EST (W)

Thanks to the step-less modulation of the fan speeds it is possible to accurately regulate the air volume in a very
precise way, in strict relation to the real need of air conditioning in the room. Oscillations in the temperature and
relative humidity are reduced at lowest level: a guarantee for the highest comfort in the room.
The possibility to reach very low air volumes makes the units extremely quiet at the lowest motor revolutions.
EST technology is designed in particular for offices, hospitals, nursing homes and hotels.
It is available for the Johnson Controls range of fan coil units, cassette units and ducted units.

The EST technology consists of a brushless motor combined to a dedicated electronic device (inverter),
managed by specific regulators. The controller uses a modulating signal with 0-10Vdc tension in order to regulate
the fan speed.
The brushless electric motor is composed by a rotor having permanent magnets, whose magnetic fields
interact with the ones produced by the stator winding.
The transfer of current is no longer by mechanical commutation (sliding contacts) but by an electronic commutation
system: an electronic controller (inverter) powers the motor’s stator and generates rotating magnetic fields, that
determine the rotor’s speed.

For applying the EST technology also to the ducted units, the inverter is provided with DIP SWITCHES that
can be also set on site, during start-up of the unit. This high flexibility grants the proper configuration for
every kind of installation, by personalization of the Dip Switches accordingly to the pressure drop in the
system.
Brushless motors develop much less heat than the traditional brushed motors and they have much lower
mechanical resistance than the standard asynchronous ones. They offer several advantages, like as higher
efficiency, longer lifetime, less need of maintenance. The absence of brushes eliminates also the main
source of electromagnetic noise.
By giving a 0-10Vdc signal to the inverter, an electronic regulator intervenes by simply managing the fan
speed and the rotor’s torque in a continuous way, adapting with extreme precision the air volume to the real
and punctual requirements in the room.
For managing all units equipped with brushless motors, Johnson Controls developed a new microprocessor
control, available both built-in the unit (EDCL) and for remote installation on the wall (EDCR).
Also the OMNIBUS digital system has been implemented in order to be combined to the EST technology:
the new cards for fan coil units (OBV10) and for cassette units (OBU10) can be connected to the new
OMNIBUS consoles, designed for managing fan coil and cassette units with brushless motors. The consoles
are available for on-wall installation (ODC236), fitted in the fan coil unit or for built-in the wall installation, on
503 modules (ODC235 white colour and ODC245 black colour).
OMNIBUS regulators give the possibility to fully control the fan speed (0-100%) and/or to manually select
three fan steps (high, med and low speed): it is actually possible to set in every moment and very easily
the three different levels of motor’s rotation, in order to fulfil specific thermal or acoustical requirements.
