Improved airflow and energy efficiency.

VairTEX™ Technology

VairTEX addresses the inefficiencies of commercial, industrial and residential cooling and refrigeration through a patented, passive energy reduction device.

When installed to the top of a condenser fan, the VairTEX™ Air Director directs the air upwards in a high-velocity vortex, driving the air away from the cooling unit. This vortex prevents the exit air from short-cycling back into the condenser coil.

Impact and Benefits

20+ years of extensive testing on commercial and residential condensers of various sizes and brands has consistently demonstrated the following benefits:

  • Increased airflow = Reduced energy consumption (measured in kWh)

  • Lower head pressure = Increased thermal exchange

  • Restricted air recirculation = Lower ambient intake air temperature

which enhances cooling capacity and improves operational efficiency. This translates into significant cost savings, while extending the life of your existing equipment, decreasing maintenance costs, and reducing your carbon footprint.

Research & Results

Extensive testing and research from Carleton University's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has proven the patented VairTEX™ Air Director is an extremely cost-effective solution for eliminating the unresolved short cycling of exhausted air. The Air Director has been field-tested for 20+ years through empirical testing, and more importantly, via energy consumption data.

In addition to significant cost savings by reducing energy use, adding a VairTEX™ Air Director to your existing HVAC unit reduces system noise level, increases peak ambient cooling capacity, and minimizes negative impact from prevailing winds.

    Performance in Extreme Temperatures: Approximately 1% reduction in kWh at ambient temperatures of -25°C. Further performance during a heatwave at 40°C showed excellent ice conditions, though additional energy savings data have not been provided.

    Outcome: The system demonstrated effective performance in maintaining optimal ice conditions, even during extreme heat. While the initial energy savings were modest at colder temperatures (around 1%), the system likely provided additional savings during the heatwave by reducing the energy required to maintain ice quality under challenging conditions.
