What is IceCOLD®
IceCOLD® is a breakthrough, engineered, 100% synthetic refrigerant catalyst that consistently saves customers up to 20% and higher on their air conditioning refrigeration use by reducing the systems??running time and extending the systems??life.It reduces your electric energy cost guaranteed 10%, average 15% to 23% and higher.
It improves heat exchange efficiency.
It delivers colder vent air faster.
It reduces noise, vibration and wear of compressors.
It reduces equipment repair cost.
It extends equipment life, because the equipment runs less and smoother.
It reduces carbon emissions and greenhouse gases.
It is the most cost effective way to further enhance system SEER (seasonal energy efficient ratio) performance.
How does it work?

Catalyst #1: removes the oil fouling and allows maximum heat exchange rate by reducing the surface tension of compressor oil molecules.
Catalyst #2: makes systems blow out colder air by lowering the evaporating point of the refrigerant when it passes through an expansion valve.
Lubricant agent: increases lubricity by 54% and makes equipment run smoother and quieter. By lubricating equipment, repair and maintenance cost for system will decrease.
What is Oil Fouling?
Compressor oil naturally circulates through the whole pipeline of systems and produces thin film of compressor oil to the wall of the refrigerant pipe. Over time, the oil film on the wall gets thicker and lowers the heat exchange efficiency of systems. This is called ?Oil Fouling??and ASHRAE reports that it can degrade system performance by up to 30% because of these insulating properties. Oil fouling is generated from the first day of system operation and from all existing compressor oil.

Saving Mechanism
Catalyst #1 Increases efficiency by removing oil fouling and creates energy savings for your business by ensuring the system is running at optimum efficiency.
Catalyst #2 Delivers cooler air and ensures your system reaches set point more quickly, reducing compressor run time, and creating energy savings.
Advanced Lubricant Agent: Enhances compressor lubricant and ensures the equipment runs more smoothly.
IceCOLD® is NOT capable of reducing the AMPERE usage of compressor?s electric motor. However, by removing the oil fouling, lowering the refrigerant evaporation temperature, and increasing the lubricity makes the system 16% (chillers) to 20+% (air cond. Units) more efficient; causing colder air supply (or faster chiller water cool down) resulting the equipment to run 16% to 20%+ LESS.
If the compressor is not running 16% to 20+% of the time, it is not only saving the electricity cost but there are also deferred savings in maintenance and replacement costs.
Compatibility
According to independent Intertek Laboratory reports, using SAE protocols, IceCOLD® is completely compatible with all modern day compressor oils including; traditional mineral oils, and synthetics like polyol ester (POE) and polyalkylene glycol oils (PAG).
Independent Intertek Laboratory reports also confirmed that IceCOLD® is compatible with all modern refrigerants, including;
- R22, R502 andR12
- R134a
- R404a, R407c, R410a, R427a, R507a, R407f andR438a
- R717 ammonia
R11, R123 and CO2 systems do not have oil fouling; therefore, IceCOLD® will be ineffective and is not used.
