ACES: Air Conditioner Electric Saver

Story Behind the Invention

Inventor Lee Crews of Shreveport, LA has developed a smart energy reclamation device that puts the wasted airflow from your air conditioner to work generating electricity right where you need it most.

As an electrician, Lee understood something most homeowners never think about: every time an air conditioner runs, its fan blasts a powerful column of hot air straight up into the sky and all the energy in that moving air is simply lost. Lee knew there had to be a better way. After years of thinking about the problem, he envisioned a device that could sit right on top of the condenser unit, intercept that airflow, and turn it into electricity to help run the very system creating it. The result is ACES: Air Conditioner Electric Saver and its ready for market!

But how does it work? ACES mounts directly onto the upper portion of an existing outdoor AC condenser unit. As the fan runs, the expelled forced airflow passes through the ACES housing, spinning an internal electrical generation mechanism that produces a direct current. That current travels through a supply cable to an inverter, which converts it to alternating current and feeds it back to the AC units controller supplying the system with auxiliary power and reducing the electricity it draws from the grid. A second design option attaches the generator directly to the fan motor shaft for an even more integrated solution. Either way, ACES turns energy youre already spending into energy you get back!
