Hybrid Air Conditioning System

The SunTrac Thermal Hybrid Air-conditioning system is a renewable energy method of adding pressure and heat to the refrigeration cycle which results in a decreased/displaced compressor workload (saving energy).

This renewable hybrid approach offers the most innovative technology available for residential and commercial air conditioning & heating applications.

The Concept & Technology

We take a high efficiency air conditioner, variable speed or multi-stage, and integrate a SunTrac Panel to its refrigeration cycle. This combination allows the compressor of the base unit to unload; and the SunTrac panel to act as a compressor booster, saving 40% or more in cooling related costs.​

This hybrid-thermal approach displaces a portion of the mechanical energy used by variable capacity, multi-stage, and variable speed compressors, which keeps the compressor in low stage, low range or low capacity, while delivering full and part-load cooling requirements. This effect creates significant energy savings up to 60%.

HTS Panels Design Topology

HTS Panels integrate with new and existing commercial VRV Inverter ACs.

The refrigerant gas which flows in the VRV system is fed to the HTS Panel and is heated by Solar Reflectors.

The system replaces a considerable percentage of mechanical energy required to power a compressor with Solar Thermal Energy.

Works with multi-stage, variable speed, and variable capacity compressors, including tandems, and single speed compressors with Variable Frequency Drives

The hot refrigerant gas from the compressor is connected to the top inlet of the HTS Panel

Heat and pressure are added to the refrigerant, generated by the sun and the heated/pressurized refrigerant is returned from the panel outlet to the HVAC units condenser

By adding heat to the refrigerant using the HTS Panel, we can reduce the compressor’s energy consumption up to 60%

• Up to 60% reduction in the cost of cooling & heating
• Raise Property Values with zero Maintenance cost
• 90% saving in space and superior aesthetics
• Integrates with commercial & industrial HVAC Systems
• Introduced in U.S.A. by SunTrac USA - market leader
• Over 300 panels installed in India Since 2019
• HTS Panels are suitable for retrofitting and new buildings
• A Quality system with International Certifications
• Worldwide presence in over 70 countries Since 1996
• Promotes indoor comfort & improved quality of life
• Lifespan is exceeding 15 years (lifespan of the AC Units)

• Eco friendly, innovative, and renewable hybrid approach

Air Conditioning accounts for 60% of a Commercial Buildings monthly cost. Saving ~40% every month will amount to a huge monthly savings on electricity.

90 % Space Saving when compared to PV Panels - The HTS Panel takes ~32 sq ft of space saving ~3,500 watts while a same sized PV Panel will save just ~200 watts
