  2. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    [1] [2] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs. The COP is used in thermodynamics . The COP usually exceeds 1, especially in heat pumps, because instead of just converting work to heat (which, if 100% efficient, would be a COP of 1), it pumps additional heat from a heat source to ...

  3. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

    Air-conditioner sizes are often given as "tons" of cooling, where 1 ton of cooling equals 12,000 BTU/h (3.5 kW). 1 ton of cooling equals the amount of power that needs to be applied continuously over a 24-hour period to melt 1 ton of ice. The annual cost of electric energy consumed by an air conditioner may be calculated as follows:

  4. Voltas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltas

    Voltas produced India's first window air conditioner with DC-inverter-based variable-speed motors. [10] DC Inverter Technology is an innovative technology that provides superior cooling while reducing the frequency of turning the compressor on and off. This helps in reducing the power consumption to a greater extent. [11]

  5. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

    The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.

  6. Efficient energy use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

    For example, an air conditioner uses more energy during the afternoon when it is hot. Therefore, an energy-efficient air conditioner will have a larger impact on peak demand than off-peak demand. An energy-efficient dishwasher, on the other hand, uses more energy during the late evening when people do their dishes.

  7. Peak demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_demand

    Typical daily consumption of electrical power in Germany, outdated (2005) Peak demand may exceed the maximum supply levels that the electrical power industry can generate, resulting in power outages and load shedding. This often occurs during heat waves when use of air conditioners and powered fans raises the rate of energy consumption ...

  8. Air changes per hour - Wikipedia

    However, they are seldom used as the actual basis of design or calculation. For example, residential ventilation rates are calculated based on area of the residence and number of occupants. [ 5 ] Non-residential ventilation rates are based on floor area and number of occupants, or a calculated dilution of known contaminants. [ 6 ]

  9. Energy in India - Wikipedia

    However, on a per capita basis, its standing is much lower. India was the second-top net crude oil (including crude oil products) importer of 205.3 Mt in 2019. [19] India has 49.72 lakh (4.972 million) barrels per day (5.1% of the world) crude oil refining capacity which is ranked 4th globally in 2017. [7]
