TL;DR: In this article, the internal structure of the energy conditioners may be included as components of connectors or electrical devices, which can be used for power applications, such as power control.
Abstract: The invention provides electrical energy conditioners (42, 44) particularly useful for power applications. Internal structure of the energy conditioners may be included as components of connectors or electrical devices.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the performance of different flow conditioners, independently from their effects on particular flowmeters, is presented, where the authors propose the use of several efficiency parameters to evaluate and compare flatness, uni-directionality and axi-symmetry of the velocity profiles produced downstream from the conditioners.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the electricity savings and CO2 emission reductions from RACs over the period of 2005-2025, and found that the rural RAC market which develops more slowly than the urban one still has great potential, and government has to revise subsidy policies to make the standards more effective.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the impact of window and split air-conditioners with minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) in Brazil and concluded that using only efficient conditioners (class A for Brazilian Labeling Program/INMETRO, with PROCEL Label) an annual saving of 322 GWh and a reduction in demand of 109 MW could be obtained in 2007.
Abstract: Increasing efficiency of electrical equipment is essential to national energy rationality, enabling energy consumption reduction and postponing inversion in distribution, transmission and generation, as well as mitigating environmental impacts associated with such activities. Considering such purposes, two actions have been promoted in Brazil: (a) minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) have been required for some appliances and (b) consumers have been informed about the most efficient products by “endorsement labeling.” The purpose of this study is to assess window and split air-conditioners with Brazilian MEPS. To evaluate the impact of efficient air-conditioners in this market, a model was developed based on estimates for quantity of equipment in operation and unitary consumption, as determined by local temperature records. From this model, it was deduced that using only efficient conditioners (class A for Brazilian Labeling Program/INMETRO, with PROCEL Label) an annual saving of 322 GWh and a reduction in demand of 109 MW could be obtained in 2007. Furthermore, it was observed that the current MEPS established by Brazilian legislation for air-conditioners may be considered relatively low. Considering that MEPS are similar to those observed in China (the main exporter of air-conditioners to the Brazil), an energy saving of roughly 222 GWh could be achieved in the same year. Impacts on emission of greenhouse gases are also estimated.
