NY-87-19-2 — On the Use of Duty Cyclers in Residential HVAC Systems

Click here to purchase

Through review of available publications and simple analyses, it is demonstrated that the use of duty cyclers in residential HVAC systems will not bring about a reduction in energy when the indoor conditions are kept unchanged. Duty cyclers will have no effect on resistance heating systems, detrimental effect on compressor-driven systems (air conditioners and heat pumps), and a small, if any, benefit on combustion fired furnaces.
