Benefits of technology

The patent describes an energy-saving device for HVAC systems. It achieves this by extending the fan run time of the system after the heating or cooling unit has shut off and / or the compressor has shut off for a short period. This results in a significant savings of energy during the operation of the HVAC system.

Abstract

A method for energy saving during the operation of an HVAC system comprising an energy saving unit, comprising: installing a temperature probe in the supply air that can send data to the energy saving unit; configuring the energy saving unit to perform a set of functions comprising: receiving a user's instructions for turning on the HVAC system and setting a target room temperature; shutting off the heater or compressor when the target temperature is reached; measuring the temperature of the air in the room that is being heated or cooled and comparing the temperature of the supply air with the temperature of the air in the room; and causing the blower to keep running after shutting off the heater or compressor for as long as the temperature of the air in the room is smaller or greater than the temperature of the supply air, respectively.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 980,537, filed Apr. 16, 2014, and is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 14 / 016,012 filed Aug. 30, 2013, which are hereby incorporated by reference, to the extent that they are not conflicting with the present application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates generally to Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, and more particularly to an apparatus, system and method for saving energy during use of HVAC systems, by manipulating the HVAC systems' fan run time and / or compressor run time.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Conventional HVAC systems include temperature changing components for changing the temperature and condition of air. Indoor air handler unit drives air from the temperature changing component through supply ducts to zones within a building. A typical HVAC consists o...
