FAQS
Does EcoCOOL® have any environmental or special handling/storage requirements?
EcoCOOL® is non-toxic and non-hazardous and does not contain solvents or any chlorine, sulfur, or TBN components (chlorine and sulfur result in creation of acids that are undesirable and damaging to refrigeration systems).
EcoCOOL® is air shippable, has no special handling requirements beyond those normally used for refrigerant oil, may be stored indefinitely at room temperature out of sunlight, and has no special requirements for disposal.
EcoCOOL®
Removes oil fouling:
- Significantly improves heat transfer in the evaporator and condensing coils
- Causes refrigerant to evaporate at a lower temperature
- Produces colder air faster
- Delivers colder air through vents
- Generates 54% higher lubricity to compressor oil
- Allows compressors parts to run with less friction
- Extends the life of the compressor, delaying maintenance
How does EcoCOOL® compare to other products? Is it a PROA?
EcoCOOL® is not a PROA (Polarized Refrigerant Oil Additive). Its chemical composition and action are fundamentally different.
How does EcoCOOL® work?
In virtually all air conditioning and refrigeration systems, .5% – 8% of the compressor lubricating oil circulates with the refrigerant. This oil attaches to the inner walls of the refrigeration tubing and inhibits heat exchange. Intrusive oil films are deposited throughout the system and it is these oil deposits that ultimately inhibit heat transfer and reduce system efficiency.
How is EcoCOOL® applied?
EcoCOOL® is installed through the low pressure service port while the equipment is running and other than inspection of the filters/coils for proper operation, no service disruptions are necessary. EcoCOOL® must be installed by a qualified HVAC service technician who has EPA-608 (or 609 for automotive applications) refrigerant certification.
In what types of equipment can EcoCOOL® be installed?
EcoCOOL® may be installed with most refrigerants and equipment. The refrigerant exceptions are R-11 and R-123A. We also do not install. EcoCOOL® in equipment with coalescing oil separators or oil-free refrigeration circuits such as magnetic bearing or centrifugal chillers.
What are some of the benefits of EcoCOOL® technology?
- Reduces A/C costs
- Delivers colder vent air faster
- Will help to reduce equipment repair cost
- Has been shown to reduce compressor noise
- Extends equipment life
- Lasts for the lifetime of the cooling system
- The most cost-effective way to enhance system SEER performance
What is EcoCOOL® ?
EcoCOOL® is a two part catalyst, plus a lubricity agent, that is added to a cooling system’s refrigerant circuit to improve the efficiency of the system by removing oil fouling in the coils, lowering apparent evaporator temperatures and increasing the lubricity of the refrigerant oil.
What is the lifespan of EcoCOOL® application?
EcoCOOL® is a one-time application for the life of the compressor. There is no problem with a refrigerant leak. However, if the seal on the coils is compromised, a second application of EcoCOOL® will be required.
What is the typical payback for an EcoCOOL® customer?
Typical system installations with an EcoCOOL® application yield paybacks within twelve cooling months. Your specific payback is contingent upon a variety of factors including; system type, system refrigerant, climate zone, and initial system condition. ROI’s are typically in excess of 500%.
Where is EcoCOOL® manufactured?
All EcoCOOL® technology is manufactured in the Dallas, Texas, area. The manufacturing plant is ISO-9001 compliant. It has experienced consultants and complies with OSHA and EPA risk management programs.
Will the installation of EcoCOOL® void my warranty?
No. The Magnuson-Moss Act 15USC ss230 enabled regulation of written consumer product warranties. Click to download the US Federal Trade Commission’s Magnuson-Moss Act as a PDF
