In food factories, negative pressure environments can lead to issues such as the influx of insects and dust, as well as the formation of condensation and mold. To address these problems, it is essential to maintain positive pressure by introducing appropriately dehumidified outside air; however, this often leads to high operational costs. To solve this challenge, Sanken Setsubi Kogyo proposes "ECOSALA," our internally developed solution.　ECOSALA is an energy-saving and cost-effective dehumidifying air supply unit that performs pre-cooling and reheating with zero energy consumption. In addition to reducing the energy required for cooling and dehumidification, it eliminates the need for external reheat sources (such as hot water or electric heaters), creating a comfortable indoor environment with dry air while achieving significant energy savings. The system also supports remote monitoring via the "ECOSALA Air Conditioning Package," which provides chiller control and central monitoring functions, as well as the "ECOSALA Cloud". This allows for the centralized management of multiple factories and the early detection of anomalies through trend graphs. We will introduce ECOSALA alongside a case study of a food factory that achieved a 79% reduction in primary energy consumption.
