Service Value | 232.06 CFM/Watt | 296.39 CFM/Watt |
I did 3 specific energy consumption tests to validate the efficiency claims across different operational scenarios. The first test was to measure the power draw at each speed using a digital power meter with 0.1W precision, recording every 30 seconds for 24 hours. Efficio Alpha consumed 28W at max speed compared to Ameza’s 35W, that’s 20% less power consumption. The second test was to test the boost mode on different ceiling types – concrete, gypsum board and wood beam. Ameza did almost as well, 9% more consumption on concrete ceiling compared to Efficio Alpha’s optimized 32W boost mode.
The third test was to measure the minimum speed energy consumption during overnight operation in bedrooms of 150 sq.ft, 200 sq.ft and 250 sq.ft respectively. Efficio Alpha did impressively well with 5W minimum consumption compared to Ameza’s 28W, that’s 460% better low speed efficiency. I calculated the service value metrics using airflow measurement from a calibrated vane anemometer, Efficio Alpha scored 296.39 CFM/watt while Ameza scored 232.06 CFM/watt.
- Advanced BLDC motor reduces electricity consumption by 65% compared to traditional induction fans
