Ecology in Testing
ACS GREEN APPROACH
2004
The patented Flower® Technology borns an energy saving system “unique in the
market” designed to drastically cut
energy consumption without limiting
performance

Static Inverter
Flower Technology: A Native Solution!
Cold Sink
• Static Inverter to adjust the rotation
speed of compressor according cooling
requirements
• Cold Sink «stores» the exceeding cold of
the cooling plant
• The rotation speed of the condenser
blowers is managed by an electronic
device
New FLOWER®
Besides its already known impressive performance in energy saving, ACS Flower chamber is now available with MyKratos™ and MyAngel24™ last release focusing on innovative services to increase reliability, maximize performance and decrease maintenance costs.

It’s not just a software optimization…
It’s an hardware native solution!
During the steps of the test cycles when the cold request is lower than available, the
compressor is held at the minimum rotating speed (by static inverter) and exceeding
refrigeration capacity is used to cool a cold storage medium (by cold sink). The cold
stored is then recovered during the cooling‐down steps, increasing the efficiency and
avoiding wasting cold energy.

ACS FLOWER® chamber: born to be GREEN
To understand Flower philosophy, we have to compare Versus conventional climatic chamber Cooling plant is normally sized according to the
max performance required (K/min)
It means that during stabilization a significant
part of cooling effect given by the compressor is
not used (the compressor runs in bypass mode)
 Low Efficiency
 Waste Energy
 Waste Money
Why should Customer buy Flower?
It’s a simple question!
 Up to 70% energy saving without affecting
performance
 A commitment for the future
 The most innovative hardware solution in the market
 Don’t waste your energy, save your money
