This team has brought A/C Booster™, the flagship product of our energy saving retrofit Family, to market in record time and at a performance and integration level previously believed impossible by industry pundits.  We have raised the bar within the industry by setting new standards for inexpensive, high efficiency, low maintenance, easy to install energy saving retrofits for regional and long-haul energy markets.

With the delivery of A/C Booster Super Cooler, we have empowered 125 million air conditioner systems and other OEMs with a comprehensive energy saving retrofit kit.  The solution for high efficiency without costly equipment replacement, addressing energy saving applications that scale from "Access to Long Haul".
 

FROM A GREAT INVENTOR’S VIEW

Wilson Greatbatch also finds little solace in corporate culture. Much of his 40-year career has been hinged on trying to stay a step or two ahead of the business model. And with 319 patents to his name — “more than any living inventor” -– he says he’d rather keep looking for novel technologies to help people. No longer part of his namesake company, medical technology firm Wilson Greatbatch Technologies, the 84-year-old inventor now uses his 20-person R&D firm, Greatbatch Enterprises, to explore everything from HIV research to helium fusion reactions.

Greatbatch worries about Wall Street’s inability to find value in intellectual resources, and the one-time Navy aviator sees little public commitment to funding for technical education like the GI Bill, which got him his engineering degree.

Perhaps most importantly, he believes, we’ve become far less tolerant of failure — which helps inventors learn to succeed. After all, the Biro brothers went through plenty of failed prototypes to perfect the ballpoint pen. And it might be for the best that Thomas Edison’s concrete piano never caught on.

“Failure’s a learning experience, and the guy who’s never failed has never done anything,” Greatbatch says. “Nine out of 10 things I’ve done have never worked. And that doesn’t bother me.”

Our Philosophy
A/C Booster

 is a team. We trust and respect each other, and value diversity in thought and action. We strive to create an environment such that we feel good about coming to work each morning.

We encourage our team members to speak out and challenge conventional wisdom. Even though constructive confrontations are encouraged in discussing issues, our meetings are conducted with dignity and mutual respect.

We believe in facts. We don't shoot the messenger if the news is bad; we do not create redundant work; and, we do not play one team member against another. We believe that mistakes can and will happen. We learn from these past mistakes without fear of any retribution.

We believe in humility, generosity, restraint, kindness, moderation, charity, diligence and sharing the wealth. We think and act like owners. We act with a sense of urgency. We have fun. We keep balance between our work and home life.

The Energy Saving Market Potential

Millions of air conditioning units installed in this country are using millions of megawatts of power..  High demands on energy service providers plus the high costs of electricity passed to consumers creates a huge marketing opportunity for the A/C Booster Super cooler. Unlike other precooler devices (maintenance queens) costing many times more than the price of the A/C Booster, maintenance is simple, safe and affordable.

A/C Booster Super cooler reduces compressor temperatures and pressures during the cooling cycle and enables the a/c system to lower supply temperatures 18 - 28 degrees (F.) colder. The resulting effects are lower maintenance, less freon loss, extended compressor life, less cooling run time and lower electrical consumption.  This all adds up to big savings for the A/C Booster owner.

Truly a win win for the environment, consumer, energy service providers and the air conditioning system. Be part of the solution and join our energy saving team today.

There is more at stake than just electricity!

Energy Efficiency Helps Energy Security

Energy efficiency is an essential element of national security. Our oil dependence on the Middle East imposes large military costs to keep Persian Gulf oil fields secure. Our dependence also fans the flames of extremism by perpetuating the image of Western nations as exploiters of producing nations' resources. Our oil imports indirectly support international terrorism as oil revenue is potentially diverted to hostile extremist organizations.

At home, the increased threat of terrorist attacks puts a vast energy supply infrastructure at risk, including oil and gas pipelines, petroleum refineries, electricity transmission systems, and nuclear power plants. To the extent that energy demand outruns the capacity of the supply infrastructure, the risk of a terrorist disruption having a large impact is increased.

Energy efficiency reduces pressure on our energy security in several ways.

• · Efficiency reduces the risk of oil shortages and price shocks. Persian Gulf oil producers currently hold most of the world's spare production capacity, giving them enormous market power. But if efficiency keeps demand down, their market power is reduced. This happened in the 1980s, as CAFE standards for auto fuel economy helped break the grip of the OPEC cartel on world oil prices.
• · Efficiency reduces the risk of damage to our supply system. Energy efficiency reduces the load on all components of the energy supply system (power lines, transformers, pipelines, pumping stations, power plants, etc.), which reduces the risk that a failure in any one segment will damage the entire system. And coupled with distributed generation, where efficient and renewable technologies generate power at many smaller sites rather than a few large power plants, efficiency makes the total system more secure.
• · Efficiency protects U.S.. economic security. Our economy is vulnerable to energy shortages and price shocks only to the extent that it is energy-inefficient. The more units of energy we use per unit of economic output, the bigger the shock to the economy when shortages or price spikes happen. Energy efficiency softens such blows by reducing the impact of energy on the economy as a whole.

How Does PV Work?

The primary and only essential component of a PV system is an array of modules or panels that directly converts sunlight into electricity. PV panels contain cells made of semiconductor material, usually silicon. Photovoltaic cells are light sensitive and produce an electrical current in the presence of sunlight.

Depending on the type of system, other components often include batteries for back-up power and a device called an inverter that converts solar electricity (DC) to the type of electricity used in homes and buildings (AC). PV systems are extremely reliable because they contain no moving parts, do not wear out and have a lifetime of 20 to 30 years.

Electricity Anywhere Under the Sun

Altair Energy PV systems can be used to provide power virtually any place the sun shines:

Photovoltaics use the energy of the sun to produce electricity and, therefore, result in none of the greenhouse or acid gas emissions associated with electricity generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. The amount of solar energy reaching the earth each year is many times greater than worldwide energy demand, although it varies with location, time of day and the season. Sunlight is also a widespread resource, and photovoltaics can capture energy from the sun virtually anywhere on earth, even under very cold conditions. These facts reveal a bright future for photovoltaics. Learn more about photovoltaic cells.
