-How is the Indian HVAC market shaping up?

Rise in infrastructure, rapid urbanization and growth in commercial properties are some of the key factors fuelling the market for HVAC systems in India. With healthy growth anticipated in the real estate sector, the country is expected to witness strong infrastructure development like metro rail etc., which would boost the market for HVAC systems over the next three to five years.

Growth in retail, hospitality and commercial sectors is significantly boosting the demand for such systems in the country, as these sectors involve large-scale application of HVAC systems in organized retail outlets, shopping complexes, hotels, etc. According to a study, the HVAC market in India is forecast to reach USD 4 billion by 2019.

-What are the prominent trends here today? And how Ensavior, as a supplier find them fitting into the grooves?

The customer today is well aware of the latest things and realise the importance of energy efficiency and a better indoor environment. End users are trying to reduce their energy requirements and looking for ways and means to address consumption needs, there is a significant shift in the mindset of people to promote energy efficiency and improve indoor air quality. Therefore, energy efficiency and better indoor environment becomes a necessity more than a voluntary policy.

We at Ensavior promote the concepts and products that to a large extent address the issue of energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Our strategic tie ups with FTENE Korea, Xylem, Aeropure and recent addition of Flowcon International form a well mix of products that cater to the need of the hour.

-How are you aligned with the vision of Smart Cities in India? And how much beneficial will be your products for this concept?

Indian government has announced the first 20 cities chosen from 98 cities shortlisted for the ‘Smart Cities Mission’. The concept of Smart city is a gateway to adopt newer, reliable, energy efficient products. In fact one of our product/system is already being implemented at the first Smart City of India in Gujrat.

Our Chilled Water Thermal Energy Storage System together with energy efficient pumps and pressure independent valves from Flowcon International is well suited for these projects.

-What kind of innovative products do you have for the Indian market? 

Pumping: Ensavior brings Xylem pumping solutions, which are constantly developing and fielding new HVAC systems that work efficiently, making buildings more comfortable, productive and healthy. It provides energy efficient pumps, boosters, circulators, controls and other products and systems for building HVAC.

Hydronic Balancing: It is the process of optimising the distribution of water in a building’s heating or cooling system – so it provides the intended indoor climate at optimum energy efficiency and minimal operating cost. We have joined hands with Flowcon, Denmark to provide the most efficient and most reliable hydronic balancing system.

Thermal Storage System: It helps lower Operational Costs by enabling the shifting of energy consumption of chillers from high cost hours to low cost hours by utilising stored energy during high cost periods and storing ‘cooling’ energy by running the chiller during low cost hours. Further, as lower capacity chillers may be used, the chiller can run at optimal capacity, thereby raising its efficiency level.

UVGI System: It leads to electrical energy savings to the tune of 10 to 15% by improving heat transfer efficiency of AHU cooling coil, which in turn results in reduction of chilled water requirement from the chiller. UVGI systems irradiate the AHU coils with UV-C rays, destroying the ability of the organisms to reproduce and multiply thus maintaining the indoor air quality of the air-conditioned spaces.

-What kind of partnership support do you offer?

We engage on the project right from the conceptualisation stage and thereby help in right selection, optimum design and implementation of most energy efficient products. Besides that we ensure on site job trainings to project managers, facility managers and operators – so that the systems are operated in most efficient and simplest manner.

Based on need of the project, we also undertake operation and maintenance of the system – for which we have back up in terms of spare parts and manpower.

What is your mantra of success?

The more you engage with customers, the things become clearer, and it is easier to co-relate to his requirements. It is our constant endeavour to make every aspect of the customer requirement a little bit better, since we know when a customer comes first, the customer lasts.
