“E-Save”

The first desiccant dehumidifier product line designed for use with a micro-turbine power generator.

SG America's high performance E-Save desiccant dehumidifier utilizes recovered thermal energy, for maximum efficiency. This environmentally friendly, freon-free, technology is uniquely designed to partner with a micro-turbine power generator or can be adapted to recover heat from other sources to meet your specialized dehumidification requirements. High efficiency in a simple, compactly designed unit. E-Save, the perfect partnering of Energy, Economy and Environment.

E-Save allows for treatment of 100% outside air for superior IAQ control.

Construction:

Compactly designed with a 2" thick, insulated, double wall cabinet, the E-Save incorporates the Seibu Giken SSCR Ultra rotor. The rotor is made with a ceramic matrix meeting the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) standards for non-respirable fibers. The ceramic matrix is combined with synthesized silica gel to form the most advanced dehumidifier rotor.

Only the desiccant is in contact with the air-stream! This advanced form of silica gel has an extremely high "affinity" for water vapor. The synergistic form of the desiccant and ceramic matrix allows for distinct advantages over both granular adsorbents and impregnated desiccants.

Energy Savings:

Seibu Giken proudly incorporates an innovative new patented evaporative cooling technology on the E-Save products. Return or exhaust air is evaporatively cooled and passes through a cross flow heat exchange to cool the dehumidified outside air. The cooled and dry outside air is then supplied to the return air plenum or directly to the space. Nature's low cost cooling solution!

Micro-turbines typically use natural gas as the fuel to generate electricity. These power generators are an important component in the Department of Energy's Distributive Energy Resource program encompassing CHP for Buildings.

Utilizing natural gas, micro-turbines can produce electricity at almost any location for emergency power requirements, critical power needs or as the primary power source for many buildings, and are an important component in the Department of Energy's Distributive Energy Resource program. E-Save desiccant dehumidifiers utilize the heat from the micro-turbines exhaust air as the source for the reactivation energy, producing low dew point air for humidity control. This re-use of the thermal energy enhances the overall efficiency of the individual units. Independently fueled, the two technologies would have a low efficiency measured against the source of the fuel. This source fuel efficiency could be as low as 25%. Combined, the micro-turbine and dehumidifier operate from the same fuel. Field trials have demonstrated the combined thermal efficiency approaching 90%.

The combination of a micro-turbine and an E-Save desiccant dehumidifier provides an economical solution to the pretreatment of ventilation air for buildings!

Applications:

Pre-treatment of ventilation air for buildings, office buildings, hotels, atriums, health care facilities, theatres, and shopping malls.

Features:

  • E-Save units are available as matched units to several micro-turbines and can be modified to accept recovered energy from other heat sources as well.
  • Meets the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) standards for non-respirable fibers.
  • Thermal efficiency approaching 90%.
  • Recycled thermal energy for high efficiency
