Therm-Aire uses solar and ambient heat to do part of the compressor's work. Same cooling, same indoor units, a third less electricity — measured, not modelled.
Therm-Aire 以太阳能与环境热能替代压缩机的部分做功。制冷效果不变、室内机不变，用电减少约三分之一——数据来自实测，而非模型推算。
Air-conditioning is the largest single electrical load in most buildings in a hot, humid climate, and almost all of that load sits in one component: the compressor. It runs whenever the building is occupied, and it runs hardest on exactly the days when the sun is strongest.
在湿热气候中，空调是绝大多数建筑最大的单项用电负荷，而这项负荷几乎集中在一个部件上——压缩机。只要建筑在使用，它就在运行；而它负荷最重的时刻，恰恰是阳光最强的时候。
That coincidence is the opportunity. The energy that makes a building hot is the same energy that can be put to work inside its refrigeration cycle.
这一巧合正是机会所在。使建筑变热的那份能量，与可以被引入制冷循环去做功的那份能量，本是同一份。
Therm-Aire is not a solar panel driving an air-conditioner with electricity. It is a thermal stage added to the refrigerant circuit itself — which is why the saving shows up on the compressor, the part that actually consumes the power.
Therm-Aire 不是"用光伏板发电去带动空调"。它是在制冷剂回路本身上增加的一个热力环节——因此节能直接体现在真正耗电的部件上：压缩机。
Evacuated tube collectors capture solar radiation and ambient heat — including the waste heat around the outdoor unit.
真空管集热器吸收太阳辐射与环境热能，包括室外机周边的废热。
That heat is transferred to the refrigerant before it reaches the compressor, raising its temperature and pressure.
该热量在制冷剂进入压缩机之前传递给制冷剂，提升其温度与压力。
The compressor starts from a higher point in the cycle, so it draws less electrical power to deliver the same cooling.
压缩机从循环中更高的起点开始工作，因而以更少的电功率输出同样的制冷量。
Cooling output, indoor units and controls stay conventional. Occupants notice the comfort, not the technology.
制冷输出、室内机与控制方式均保持常规。使用者感受到的是舒适度，而不是技术本身。
Energy-saving claims in cooling are easy to make and hard to trust. Ours was measured by the BCA Academy — the training and research arm of Singapore's Building and Construction Authority — running both systems side by side under the same conditions.
制冷行业的节能宣称容易提出、难以取信。我方的数据由新加坡建设局学院 BCAA（建设局的培训与研究机构）实测得出，两套系统在相同工况下并行运行。
Savings on any individual building depend on solar exposure, load profile and how the system is sized. We would rather size it properly on your building than quote you a range.
具体建筑的节能幅度取决于日照条件、负荷曲线与系统选型。与其给出一个笼统区间，我们更愿意针对贵方建筑做一次认真的选型测算。
The economics favour continuous cooling loads under strong sun. That covers most of the tropical and desert building stock.
在强日照下持续运行的制冷负荷，经济性最佳——这涵盖了热带与沙漠气候下的绝大多数建筑类型。
Split systems for apartments and public housing blocks, retrofitted to existing indoor units.
面向公寓与公共住房的分体式系统，可在既有室内机基础上加装改造。
Student hostels, teaching blocks and civic buildings with predictable daytime occupancy.
学生宿舍、教学楼与市政建筑，白天使用规律、负荷可预测。
Wards and clinical areas that must be cooled continuously, where every kilowatt is a running cost.
病房与诊疗区域须持续制冷，每一度电都是长期运营成本。
Room-by-room cooling in high-sun locations, where energy is one of the largest operating lines.
强日照地区的分房制冷，能源支出是最大的运营成本项之一。
Equipment rooms and edge facilities with a flat, year-round thermal load.
设备机房与边缘设施，全年热负荷平稳。
Gulf and Sahel conditions, where conventional systems lose capacity exactly when it is needed most.
海湾与萨赫勒地区，常规系统恰在最需要制冷时出现能力衰减。
The world's first direct-expansion solar thermal cooling deployment: 99 accommodation containers, 24,000 BTU each, over 40% savings — maintained locally ever since.
全球首个直膨式太阳能热制冷应用：99 个住宿集装箱，单台 24,000 BTU，节能超过 40%，此后一直由当地维护。
University hostels, telecom and technology buildings and a private hospital — the demanding end of the Singapore market, where certification and reliability both count.
大学宿舍、通信与科技园区楼宇及一家私立医院——新加坡市场中要求最高的一端，认证与可靠性缺一不可。
Hotels, resorts and hospitals across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, from single blocks to whole-site retrofits.
东南亚与中东的酒店、度假村与医院，覆盖从单栋楼宇到整场地改造的不同规模。
Certification status is reconfirmed for every project — ask us for the current certificates when you enquire.
每个项目均会重新确认认证状态——询价时可向我们索取当期证书。
Send us the location, the cooling load and the electricity tariff, and we will come back with an indicative saving and a payback range — not a brochure.
提供地点、制冷负荷与电价，我们会给出节能测算与回收周期区间——而不是一本宣传册。
