THE HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEM: Research presented by ASHRAE IN 1994, showed conclusively that system performance is degraded by as much as 30% due to build-up of lubricants on internal surfaces throughout the refrigeration system. This build-up causes heat transfer degradation, increases pressure drops, elevates boiling points and reduces the latent heat capacity of the equipment. The end results of these problems are a substantial loss of cooling capacity, loss of lubricity, significantly increased operating costs and shortened equipment life. Design engineers either oversize the equipment to compensate for future loss or accept the shortage of capacity at a future date. Insulative oil build-up typically begins to affect systems between the 6th and 12th month of operation. Normally by the 24th month of operation, system degradation is evident in the reduction of volumetric capacity and increased noise due to the loss of lubricity. THE RESULT: The negative impact on your HVAC system is that a continual loss of cooling capacity will result in increased operating costs and shortened equipment life. You will experience higher power bills, increased maintenance and increased capital expenditures, usually prior to the end of the expected equipment life. THE SOLUTION IS FRIGAID: The solution is a one time installation of Frigaid which is a patented PROA or polarized refrigerant oil additive. Frigaid is neither a refrigerant nor an oil. Frigaid is a unique chemical formulation of polarized molecules that is introduced into the system in a carrier oil base through the same Schraeder valve that the system oil and refrigerant use. Frigaid is compatible with all currently manufactured oils and refrigerants. Frigaid, as a halogen, is higher on the Van der Waal Scale than the hydrocarbon refrigerant oil it is displacing which results in a higher affinity with metal than the carrier oil. Once introduced into the system, Frigaid remains in a liquid state as it migrates throughout the system prior to separation from the carrier oil. The highly conductive polarized Frigaid molecule will displace the insulative layer of nonconductive oil. Frigaid will permanently bond to all interior system surfaces and will greatly increase the heat transfer rate through electromagnetic heat propagation. The Frigaid molecule will not bond to itself and will not permit the oil to reattach to metal surfaces. THE RESULT: A Department of Energy report states that, a system treated with Frigaid will experience increased volumetric efficiency, reduced laminar flow, quieter operation, compressor seal protection, increased resistance to oxidation, a 1500% increase in lubricating ability, reduced run time, extended equipment life and energy savings averaging 21.2% Moletec Corporation
