Description

Air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration (HVAC-R) units waste energy through natural inefficiency. The compressors on these units consume about 70% of the total energy, and the average business spends 65% of its total energy costs on these systems. Our Cold-Plus one-time treatment optimizes performance and efficiency in air conditioning, heating and refrigeration systems and vehicles. This unique stage-two process uses nuclei to improve pool boiling which increases thermodynamics. Cold-Plus delivers cutting edge energy efficiency and cost saving solutions for businesses around throughout several industries, specifically reducing energy cost, maintenance cost and greenhouse gas emissions. HVAC Residential, commercial, industrial, and retail properties all have HVAC systems in common. Because they consume so much energy, the potential for savings is substantial. REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT Transportation refrigeration units are gasoline and diesel powered cooling units that are installed on vehicles used in transporting produce, meat, dairy products, and other perishable goods. HEAT PUMP Heat pumps are popular because they can both cool and heat utilizing the same unit. The use of Cold-Plus in heat pumps increases the efficiency of the unit in both cool and heat cycles. FLEET VEHICLES Our Cold-Plus for Autos reduces energy, reduces carbon emissions, and extends equipment life for all vehicle types to include vessels, ships, electric vehicles, ferries, cruise ships, buses, trains, etc. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Our non-toxic formula conserves energy, reduces carbon emissions, and extends equipment life. This represents a valuable and sustainable solution for our customers. NanoX Technologies’ Cold-Plus treatment optimizes performance and efficiency in air conditioning, heating and refrigeration systems. This unique stage-two process uses nuclei to improve pool boiling which increases thermodynamics. Cold-Plus delivers cutting edge energy efficiency and cost saving solutions for businesses in a variety of industries. HOW COLD-PLUS SAVES COMPANIES & UTILITIES MONEY Remove and Prevent Oil Fouling Oil build-up acts as a layer of insulation and causes the system to use more energy to work correctly. Oil Fouling prevents heat from transferring correctly. The negatively charged Cold-Plus molecules attach to positively charged coils, pistons, and bearings to form a one molecule thick nano-polymer layer that allows enhanced heat transfer to take place. This new permanent layer prevents future oil fouling and increases the ability of the compressor to force refrigerant throughout the coils with less friction. Reduce Amp Draw Cold-Plus reduces the friction on cooling system components and allows the compressor to operate at a lower temperature and pressure reducing the amp draw. 80% of compressor wear occurs at start-up. The addition of Cold-Plus® eliminates the amp draw spike that occurs when the compressor starts. This adds to the longevity of the compressor and reduces the amps required to start the compressor. Optimize Flow-Rate Cold-Plus optimizes the refrigerant flow to increase unit capacity and heat/cold transfer. Nano-polymers reduce surface tension and friction by bonding the slipperiest substance known to the inner tubing wall, thus forming a protective barrier. The result is a more efficient system for the life of the equipment. Optimize Pool Boiling Cold-Plus delivers better refrigerant pool boiling temperatures causing thermostats to reach temperature targets faster. This also removes more humidity in shorter run cycles which provides dryer and more desirable air conditioning. Extend Equipment Life = Reduce Cap X Dollars Super slippery nano-sized polymers bond to friction surfaces and extend compressor life.
