PermaFrost: A refrigerant-side energy solution, reduce your energy

Within a typical air conditioning system, a layer of non-conductive oil will form on the inner lining of the system causing your system to lose efficiency and consume much more precious energy!

Over time refrigerant oil will escape from the compressor and migrate throughout the evaporating and condensing circuit where it begins to form a stagnant and non-conductive layer of oil. See our specially prepared animation. As the refrigerant oil continues to escape the stagnant layer will continue to thicken, this process will continue throughout the life of the system.
This stagnant layer of non-conductive oil will restrict the refrigerant flow through the system thus decreasing the heat transfer rate and the cooling effect your system is capable of producing. This results in poor efficiencies that through routine operation will continue to deteriorate along with energy costs that will continue to escalate as the system has to operate harder to achieve the desired cooling effect.
PermaFrost, a one time treatment, once injected into the system will dislodge the stagnant non-conductive layer of oil and replaces it with highly charged thermo-conductive molecules that will accelerate the rate of heat transfer and increase the flow of refrigerant. Just as a lightning rod attracts electricity from storm clouds in the sky and direct it safely down to the ground PermaFrost molecules act like lightning rods inside your system, or as we call them thermo-conductive fins, which attract the refrigerant from circulation and directs down to the surface area where heat transfer occurs, resulting in better cooling through greater efficiency.

				WHAT IS IT? PermaFrost, A Refrigerant Side Energy Solution With many energy solutions available within the HVAC industry today, it is important not to get confused between the features and benefits of PermaFrost with those of other solutions. PermaFrost is a unique refrigerant-side energy solution, unlike other products that work on the electrical, mechanical and water side of an HVAC system, PermaFrost works directly within the refrigerant circuit. PermaFrost achieves energy savings by improving the internal (refrigerant-side) thermodynamics between the refrigerant and tubing walls thus achieving greater cooing action i.e. greater cooling performance for the same or lesser amount of energy. The result is a better Coefficient of Performance (COP) /Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). Using Refrigerants to Transfer Heat Cooling is a process of transferring heat from one location to another. When an air conditioning system cools, it removes heat by transferring it using a heat transport fluid called refrigerant. Role of Condenser & Compressor Units As refrigerant travels through an air conditioning system, it goes through a cycle of expanding into a vapour and condensing into a liquid. Air conditioners have condenser and compressor units that are typically located outside where the refrigerant can transfer heat from within the building into the environment through the evaporation and condensing process. As the name implies, a compressor/condenser turns refrigerant into a liquid. Moving the Hot Air to the Outside of Your Building or Car As vapour refrigerant is compressed in the compressor, it gives off heat in the condenser and turns into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant moves from the compressor/condenser into the structure to a unit consisting of an expansion valve and an evaporator that is usually located within the building. Hot air gathered from the building is blown over coils within the evaporator that contains the liquid refrigerant. As the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, it turns into a vapour. This is how heat from the interior air is transferred through the coils to the refrigerant which carries the heat back outside to the compressor/condenser. Within a typical air conditioning system, a layer of non-conductive oil will form on the inner lining of the system causing your system to lose efficiency and consume much more precious energy! Over time refrigerant oil will escape from the compressor and migrate throughout the evaporating and condensing circuit where it begins to form a stagnant and non-conductive layer of oil. See our specially prepared animation. As the refrigerant oil continues to escape the stagnant layer will continue to thicken, this process will continue throughout the life of the system. This stagnant layer of non-conductive oil will restrict the refrigerant flow through the system thus decreasing the heat transfer rate and the cooling effect your system is capable of producing. This results in poor efficiencies that through routine operation will continue to deteriorate along with energy costs that will continue to escalate as the system has to operate harder to achieve the desired cooling effect. PermaFrost, a one time treatment, once injected into the system will dislodge the stagnant non-conductive layer of oil and replaces it with highly charged thermo-conductive molecules that will accelerate the rate of heat transfer and increase the flow of refrigerant. Just as a lightning rod attracts electricity from storm clouds in the sky and direct it safely down to the ground PermaFrost molecules act like lightning rods inside your system, or as we call them thermo-conductive fins, which attract the refrigerant from circulation and directs down to the surface area where heat transfer occurs, resulting in better cooling through greater efficiency. Before PermaFrost Refrigerant oil build-up forms from day one of operation and continues to do so for the life of the system. The ARI (American Refrigeration Institute) claims efficiency losses of 3% per year due to the migration of oil. Flow of refrigerant becomes increasingly restrictive. Heat transfer between refrigerant and tubing walls is reduced. System efficiency continues to reduce. C.O.P. and E.E.R are no longer at design spec. System works harder and longer and can struggle to achieve design specifications. Energy consumption goes up. Wear and tear is increased. After PermaFrost PermaFrost, once injected will dislodge the insulative, non-conductive layer of oil and replaces it with highly charged thermo-conductive molecules whereby eliminating future build-up for the life of the system. The compounds integrated into the technology contain polarity. As we know heat is energy and energy can be made directional by another form of energy, which in the case of PermaFrost are the thermo-conductive compounds/molecular fins. By acting as molecular fins, PermaFrost attracts the heat from the refrigerant and conducts it through the metal at an accelerated rate therefore increasing the system’s capacity and reducing energy, resulting in more cooling action with less energy. Flow of refrigerant returns to normal levels. C.O.P. and E.E.R increase by as much as 15-25% Energy consumption, kWh’s are reduced. Stagnant layer of oil can no longer reform. Greater comfort is being achieved for the same or less energy.
