PIR thermostat control for cooling loads

Danlers, PIR thermostat control

Danlers designs and manufactures passive infra-red thermostat products designed to automatically control loads such as standalone air-cooling units. The product combines an adjustable room thermostat with a passive infra-red person detection. If somebody is present in the room, the cooling unit is switched on to achieve the selected thermostat temperature. When nobody is present, the temperature is allowed to rise to an upper ‘ceiling’ temperature.

This gives comfortable temperature control, while reducing energy consumption by restricting the time when the cooling unit is working. The user is not paying to cool an empty room. Danlers energy-saving controls are UK manufactured and come with a 5-year warranty.
