DEVICE IMPROVES HVAC
EFFICIENCY
The StacoVAR
Mini from Staco
Energy Products Co.
is a wall-mountable
automatic power
factor correction
bank that improves motor efficiency
for heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems. Many
HVAC motors are inherently inefficient,
resulting in wasted power���and
perhaps a surcharge or penalty from the
utility. This new product line extension
utilizes the same components as the
existing StacoVAR mini, to maintain
the desired power factor level through a
microprocessor based controller which
adjusts to system load conditions. This
compact high quality design includes
capacitors, reactors, contactors and
fuses, and is UL-listed. Capacitors
provide highly efficient power factor
correction, low watt loss, long life and
reliable operation.

hot water and coffee to make top notch
espresso drinks. It can make a single
or double espresso all the way up to
a full cup Americano (300 cc). The

compensates for coffee grounds and
tamping variations, making the perfect
crema rich espresso shot every time.
