Zone Damper Systems Made Smarter: Enhance Comfort & Savings with the APR Control

Imagine customizing the temperature in each room of your home or small office, just like turning on and off lights individually. That’s the allure of zone damper systems! But while zoning brings personalized comfort, it can also create headaches for your HVAC system.

The Challenge with Traditional Zoning

The most common and most feared challenge for space occupants and building owners is coil freezing. As zone dampers close, airflow decreases, potentially leading to evaporator coil freezing. This is a costly issue that impacts efficiency and can damage your system as well as the interior space from water damage.

Another likely challenge or common complaint will be occupant comfort from inconsistent temperatures. Zones may experience fluctuating temperatures as the system struggles to balance airflow and cooling demands.

The APR Control Solution:

The APR Control by Rawal Devices revolutionizes zoning by dynamically modulating your HVAC system’s capacity to match the real-time needs of each zone.

  • Improved Comfort in Every Zone: As zone dampers open and close, the APR Control works in harmony with your zone dampers, seamlessly adapting your system’s cooling capacity to match each room’s unique needs – providing optimal comfort throughout your home or office.
  • Cost Savings:
    • Equipment & Installation: Avoid the need for multiple HVAC units with a single zoned system and an APR Control.
    • Maintenance: Protect your system and prevent costly breakdowns with the APR Control.
    • Energy Efficiency: Only cool the occupied zones, saving up to 15-29% on energy bills compared to single-thermostat systems. The APR Control can further boost savings by up to 17% on compressor energy alone!
  • Simplified Upgrades: Easily retrofit the APR Control into existing zone damper systems that may be experiencing coil freezing or other service issues. You can avoid the hassle and expense of a full system replacement. 

Selling the Solution: APR Control as the Zoning Game-Changer

As an HVAC professional, you know the frustrations of traditional zone damper systems. Now, you can offer your customers a simple, cost-effective, and more comfortable solution. Whether it’s a large home, a medical office, or a multi-unit complex, the APR Control empowers you to deliver the personalized comfort and energy savings they crave. This innovative solution eliminates temperature fluctuations, prevents costly breakdowns, and maximizes the efficiency of their existing system.

Simply installing the APR Control allows your customers to avoid the expense of multiple HVAC units or costly system replacements by maximizing the performance of their existing equipment. The APR integrates seamlessly into existing air conditioning zoning systems or new installations, minimizing construction and downtime compared to installing entirely new ductwork and equipment.

 It’s a win-win: the end-user or equipment owner enjoys year-round comfort, and you as the contractor or distributor build a reputation for providing reliable solutions that exceed expectations.

The Bottom Line:

The APR Control allows your customers to enjoy the benefits of zone damper systems without all of the drawbacks. It’s a smart, cost-effective solution that delivers personalized comfort, significant energy savings, and increased system longevity.
