            Refrigeration, HVAC and lighting control for retail

             
             

            Value proposition

            Main drivers
            • It's never easy to find a simple, cost-efficient and completely scalable system to meet a wide variety of supermarket and retail control requirements. In order to protect your most precious assets, increase profits and lower costs, you need a total energy management strategy.

            Solution in brief
            • Com-Trol is designed to meet your strategy and are backed by years of proven supermarket success.

            Value proposition
            • Monitor, control and reduce energy costs
            • Reduce hardware costs by up to 20%.
            • Completely eliminate the cost for remote access/modem lines.
            • Reduce the need for costly rooftop A/C units with the Crysalis CVAV controllers.
            • Reduce overall engineering and commissioning time.

            Differentiation factors
            • Add value, lower cost, get control: the CrysalisTM product family is a powerful combination of proven, industry-leading products from TAC and Com-Trol to help harness the Power of Transformation. Crysalis finally brings together the best of both worlds:
              - Com-Trol's line of commercial refrigeration controllers and equipment
              - TAC's line of HVAC control products.  
            • Imagine what you can do when you've put the Power of Transformation and TAC Crysalis to work for you:
              - Meet the latest building requirements for energy efficiency and environmental compliance.
              - Monitor and optimize your systems in real time from anywhere to achieve improved operating efficiencies and reduced cost.
              - More precisely control product temperatures and reduce perishable shrink expenses.
              - Reduce the total number of components in your control systems, keeping investment, installation and maintenance costs to a minimum.
              - Improve the work environment for employees, and the store experience for customers, with more precise, efficient control of the overall environment.
             

            Architecture

            • Crysalis Enterprise Server (CES): organizes system-wide trend, demand, and operating history with a web-enabled interface. 
            • CWEB Web Services Gateway: giving you access to your facility control system and data exchange with any web-enabled PC.
            • CRTU Rooftop Unit Controller: a LonWorks® based controller that provides precise control of typical HVAC RTUs and heat pumps, along with economizer control.
            • LonWorks® CVAV: Variable Air Volume Controller, delivering a wide range of control strategies for pressure-independent terminal boxes.
            • CS Sensors: for measuring roomconditions and transmitting data to the controller.

            Most significantly, all are backward compatible with existing Com-Trol system components such as the 4K, 4K2e and 4500 refrigeration controllers, as well as Com-Trol's complete line of I/O boards and sensors.
