ÆON vs. UPS

ÆON 40-60% MORE EFFICIENT
THE ÆON SYSTEM IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN THE UPS SYSTEM BECAUSE:
  • Higher efficiency by eliminating UPS inverter
  • Higher efficiency by eliminating electronic ballasting rectifier
  • Intelligent switch interface provides multiple operating modes including various "emergency" features

Elimination of the inverter component found in the traditional UPS results in saving 15-30% by eliminating DC to AC conversion necessary to run conventional AC appliances.

Since ÆON ballasts operate from DC, it is not necessary to have AC-to-DC rectification present in all conventional AC electronic ballasts.

With other loads utilizing ÆON DC equipment, efficiency gains are as much and sometimes more. ÆON metal halide electronic power supplies operating Venture DC lamps are typically 35% more efficient than AC metal halide magnetic ballasts. Utilization of brushless, slotless, DC motors in conjunction with the ÆON system can yield efficiency gains of as much as 75%.

THEREFORE, THE ÆON SYSTEM CONSISTENTLY YIELDS 40-60% GREATER EFFICIENCY THAN OPERATING CONVENTIONAL AC LOADS WITH A UPS INVERTER SYSTEM. ÆON ALSO ALLOWS CONTROL METHODS UNAVAILABLE TO UPS SYSTEMS WHICH PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR ADDITIONAL EFFICIENCY GAINS (DIMMING, INTELLIGENT SWITCHING) AND REVOLUTIONARY IMPROVEMENTS IN EMERGENCY CODE COMPLIANCE.
