The document discusses FridgeWize products for rooftop units (RTUs) including permanent magnet motor and electronically commutated motor (ECM) upgrades to improve supply fan efficiency. These upgrades can reduce fan speed and energy consumption by up to 89% depending on the cooling/heating stage. Additional benefits include improved indoor air quality from needlepoint bi-polar ionization and remote HVAC monitoring capabilities.
2. RTU Supply Fan Upgrade
• Permanent Magnet Motor to Upgrade Supply Fan Motor Efficiency
• ECM Motor to Vary the Fan Speed in order to Reduce Energy Consumption
• Two Types of Units to Fit Customer Needs: Standard and Advanced

4. Additional Benefits
• Most Existing Motors are not VFD rated, our package upgrades the efficiency of
the motor AND are VFD rated
• Utilizing Free Air When Outside Air can help cool building which turns off
compressors for large energy savings
• Dial in airflow to provide the right amount of CFM in the space to maximize
CFM/watt and comfort
• Quieter Operation with lower operation supply fan speed
• Two Types of Kits: Standard and Advanced
• Extends life of equipment through soft start routine
• Transient Voltage Protection Devices Included in our Installation
5. What Can It Save?
*Actual performance on other locations will vary depending on various factors.
6. Benefits of Choosing RTU System From FridgeWize
• Only RTU Package in the market that has a Permanent Magnet ECM motor to
provide additional savings
• Motor and Control integrated together
• Shaft Grounding Ring Included
• Soft Ramp in Speed for Better Belt and Component Life
• No VFD bypass mode
• No motor failure issues from VFD
• Ease of Installation & Operation
• Same Components Utilized in OEM Systems for High Reliability
7. Needlepoint Bi-Polar Ionization
• Improves indoor Air Quality by eliminating pathogens, VOC, smoke, allergens,
particle reduction, odors
• Have been utilized in hospitals, arenas, airports, schools for many years to help
improve indoor air quality
• Keeps evaporator coil clean of bio material all the way through the coil
• Easy Installation with flexible voltage (24VAC or 110-240VAC)
• Can aid in reducing outside air requirements
• Tested to UL Standards to produce No Ozone (UL 2998, UL 867)
• No Maintenance, Long life
9. How Does it Work?
• For Pathogens, it takes the hydrogen out of the cell which effectively inactivates
the pathogen
• For particulate filtration, the ions are able to clump the smaller particles together
so that they are large enough to be filtrated through the filter
• For VOC’s and odors, the ions break down the chemical compounds
• Can reduce outdoor air due to the dilution of VOC’s, particulates, odors. Some
outdoor air is still needed to help dilute CO2 concentrations
10. Pathogens Tested
