Seems like they installed variable frequency drives (their "algorithm) on their motors; nothing more.

- AnimalMuppet 7y ago1/3 reduction is 1/3 reduction. It's worth doing, even if how they did it is no great breakthrough.
- manicdee 7y agoHaving 50% more consumption than the competitors is nothing to crow about. Great that they can claim 30% lower consumption, but that’s quite the spin to put on the story.
- dv_dt 7y agoYup companies like Pentair have been doing this industrially (and on more consumer stuff like pool filter pumps) for years now. I would guess the newer part might be adjusting parameters in a coordinated way via a network... enabling those hacker movies where someone on a laptop can startup all the machines in a factory with a few keypresses.

They claim a lot of lot efficiency with their algorithms: http://ackinetics.com/?page_id=5120 http://ackinetics.com/?page_id=5120
