Additive Lowers Cooling Costs
When your air conditioning or refrigeration system doesn’t seem to be working well, it’s likely due to oil-fouling inside the system – similar to plaque building up in arteries. Eliminate the oil-fouling and the system operates more efficiently – saving money – and extending the life of the equipment. IceCOLD®, a synthetic catalyst, does that, breaking the compressor oil’s surface tension so globules of compressed oil will not stick to the inner walls of the tubing, says David Pickett.
    Twelve years ago, Pickett and the leading chemist of a large chemical company developed IceCOLD. It’s a one-time treatment of the system and using it is similar to simply adding Freon. IceCOLD lasts the lifetime of the equipment. Besides eliminating oil-fouling, a second catalyst lowers the evaporating temperature in the system and increases the BTU capacity by 15 to 30 percent, meaning more and faster cooling.
    Customers include Fortune 500 corporations, residential, and automotive customers. IceCOLD has more than 22,000 installations in more than 28 countries.
    IceCOLD comes with a money back guarantee if it does not save at least 10 percent in A/C and refrigeration electrical costs. In 12 years, no one has asked for money back, Pickett says. Payback is normally a year or less. Approximate cost to install IceCOLD is $100/ton of cooling. An average home air conditioning system uses 3 1/2 tons of cooling, which would cost about $350.
    “In refrigerated (semi) trailers the payback is usually less than 5 months,” Pickett adds.
    Pickett suggests those interested in IceCOLD contact Aire Serv, an HVAC franchised network with dealers and installation throughout the country.
