Faced with exposure to cold in winter, various brands have brought to the market sustainable heating options, cheaper in the medium term and efficient.The post-quarantine context has made the cold feel greater than in previous years, because people got used to being in the house all the time.Added to this is the large amount of rain compared to previous years, which makes temperatures drop.In July, cold waves were announced, which caused temperatures to be around -18ºC in areas such as Puerto Natales.In addition, in the Metropolitan Region the thermometers marked temperatures that were not felt 50 years ago.This year, as in previous years, extreme temperatures are not only seen in winter.In the northern hemisphere, which is currently in summer, heat waves have been constant and have caused, for example, in England, a cold and temperate country, the temperature has exceeded 40ºC.Although in Chile, due to the phenomenon of La Niña, this summer will not be so hot, global warming will make summers increasingly hot.As stated on the website of the Ministry of the Environment, "in the Metropolitan Region, 39% of annual PM2.5 emissions come from heating with wood."For this reason, it is advisable to replace fuel heating with a more efficient and cleaner one.This is important because it makes it possible to reduce the emission of polluting gases within homes and in cities.According to a document presented by said Ministry, the most sustainable alternatives to maintain a temperate home are: Split air conditioning (which, in the medium term, works with electricity, is cheaper), MiniSplit and pellet heaters.To maintain the ideal temperature in homes (20ºC), it is advisable to keep windows and walls insulated, since it is in these places where the most heat is lost, and to seal doors and windows, avoiding draughts.AC Sensira from Daikin.It is a MiniSplit style device with an Inverter motor.It incorporates an R32 refrigerant, which reduces its environmental impact by 68% compared to R-410A and consumes less energy due to its energy efficiency.To this is added seasonal efficiency values ​​up to A++ in refrigeration and the inclusion of Inverter technology, which allows savings by eliminating waste from the operation of air conditioners by controlling the speed of the motor.The air conditioners made by this alliance, in addition to being of the Split type, have functions for health care and comfort, since they have filters that trap dust, fibers and animal hair.Its Triple Protection Filter reduces viruses, bacteria and allergens in suspension.In addition, its Wind-Free technology allows cooling without generating gusts of air.They can be controlled from a Smartphone.This to regulate the temperature of the home or monitor its energy consumption.They also give an alert when their cleaning mode needs to be activated.It is moving into a new era of HFO refrigerants, which have lower operating costs and less energy consumption.Two teams in that category are:The R32 Aquasnap 30RB Chiller Scroll is 20-30% lighter than its predecessors, requiring far fewer materials to make, and its CO2 impact is much lower.It features factory monitoring controls, plus microchannel and plate type exchangers, which equates to 30% less refrigerant.It uses R32 refrigerant, which is 10% more efficient than R410A.It also has an 80% lower carbon footprint, so it has a lower impact on the environment.Screw Chiller R-1234ze Aquaforce 30KAV: it is the equipment with the highest energy efficiency.Its optimal performance at partial load, intelligent energy control and a 40% reduction in refrigerant use, make it an efficient option for air conditioning large spaces.It has refrigerant leak detection, does not consume water and has heat recovery up to 65°C.It is 40% lighter than older equipment, allowing for quick start-up.The brand offers two Split-type models, with an “Intelligent Sleep Mode” system, which ensures comfort when resting and is self-cleaning to prevent bad odors and illnesses.Its Inverter technology has a more efficient and economical operation, since it allows the equipment to vary its frequency and regulate the electrical cycle.This makes it possible to regulate the speed of the compressor of the equipment so that it operates constantly, offering greater performance and a 40% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional equipment.Pre-installation inspection.Have adequate insulation in walls, ceiling, floors, number of windows and other elements that can generate leaks.Have an inverter motor.It is low consumption, so it is more economical, while generating a lower carbon footprint.Regular maintenance.A good filter cleaning will allow the equipment to work in optimal conditions and will consume less.That the refrigerant is R32.The most advanced and friendly with the Ozone Layer.Save my name, email, and website in this browser the next time I comment.At Diario
