*Independent testing shows that IceCOLD® consistently delivers 20%+ efficiency improvement to cooling and refrigeration systems. Typical system installations yield paybacks of less than 12 cooling months.

IceCOLD® removes oil-fouling, thus improving coil heat transfer and delivering colder air faster. It also delivers up to 54% higher lubricity* to compressor oil.

* Intertek Laboratory Test Results

Oil Fouling of the heat transfer surfaces of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, will cause a loss of efficiency that will continue to accumulate.

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers) confirms that over time performance is degraded by 30% due to the build-up of lubricants on internal surfaces. Higher percentages up to 40% have been observed in systems 20 years old or older.*

In all air conditioning and refrigeration systems, 0.5% to 8% of the compressor’s lubricating oil circulates with the refrigerant.  This oil attaches to the inner walls of the refrigeration tubing and acts as an effective insulator to heat exchange.  It is these oil deposits that ultimately block heat transfer and reduce your system efficiency.

Equipment suppliers may state that in a particular system, migrating oil concentration has been reduced to only 1%. This 1% being referred to is 1% of the total oil volume. If a compressor holds four quarts, or 128 ounces of oil, then at 1%, 1.28 ounces is flowing through the system at any given time. Since a capillary tube, the oil pressure switch or expansion valve can be fouled with a few milligrams of oil, and when 1% of any oil charge is flowing constantly through the system, the system will become oil-fouled.

The actual savings mechanism includes not only the reduction of amperes that the compressor’s electric motor uses while running, but also with the removal of the oil fouling, there is a more efficient refrigerant absorption rate and lubricity increases which makes the system more efficient causing colder supply air (or faster chiller water cool down) resulting in the equipment running 10% to 20+% less on average.

*Intertek Laboratory Report

IceCOLD® can be used in the majority of commercial HVAC units and refrigeration systems. The synthetic catalyst is compatible with all common refrigerants. There is also an IceCOLD® formula for treating ammonia systems. Refrigeration systems such as refrigeration racks, walk-in freezers, salad bars, reach-in coolers, and food prep tables located in supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and convenience stores can all benefit from IceCOLD® energy efficiency.  

Refrigerated transportation is a critical link in the Cold Chain. The ability to move perishable goods and produce from the source of supply or manufacture to the point of sale is dependent on the safe and reliable operation of refrigerated trucks (Reefers) and trains. In most cases long distance refrigerated transportation is handled by Articulated Trucks pulling semi-trailers fitted with a dedicated auxiliary refrigeration unit, which runs off its own diesel supply. Box trucks are smaller in size and generally used for local deliveries. Typically Box Trucks also have a dedicated auxiliary refrigeration unit, but their diesel supply comes from the same tank that feeds the truck engine.

Installing IceCOLD® in refrigerated trailers may have the largest financial, operational and environmental impact of any industry.

Diesel Consumption: IceCOLD® significantly reduces diesel consumption through enhancing compressor efficiency causing the unit to reach its set-point temperature faster and cycle off more frequently.

Delivery Schedules: Every time the trailer doors are opened to make a delivery the temperature inside the trailer can increase. If the trailer temperature does not comply with the required standard, store managers can refuse delivery of a shipment because the delivery temperature is governed by regulations. IceCOLD® enables faster recovery of the set-point temperature inside refrigerated trailers reducing equipment down-time and contributing to the quality and safety of perishable shipments.

Carbon Emissions: The ability of IceCOLD® to significantly reduce the diesel consumption of a truck’s refrigeration unit has an immediate and direct impact on cutting carbon emissions. Every gallon of diesel consumed by a truck’s refrigeration compressor produces 22.2 pounds of CO2. Installing IceCOLD® in a large reefer fleet can reduce the emission of millions of pounds of carbon every year.

Installing IceCOLD® in reefer units typically delivers a 20% to 30% reduction in diesel fuel consumption. The average payback is 9 months or less depending on how often the reefer equipment is used. The IceCOLD® catalyst is installed once and lasts for the lifetime of the equipment. Following the installation of IceCOLD® a reefer unit operating for just 5 years could expect to achieve a 1000% ROI.

Oh behalf of Barber Foods, I want to thank you for introducing me to IceCOLD Technology™, LLC to us, coordinating a successful pilot installation at our Milliken Street Facility, and developing a detailed and comprehensive proposal for expanding the use of IceCOLD® at both our Facilities. I was extremely pleased and impressed that the pilot installation of IceCOLD® in one of our Trane 15-ton air conditioning units demonstrated a 42.7% efficiency improvement.

Ben E. Keith

….we installed IceCOLD® in our Trane HVAC roof top package units (1 thru 16A) a total of 17 units at our main warehouse facility in Ft. Worth TX. Prior to installation of IceCOLD® we were frequently replacing compressors annually per unit. However, since installing IceCOLD® the need to replace compressors have been greatly reduced, and maintenance cost have been significantly reduced also. The IceCOLD® saves on the life of compressors, run hours plus additional savings on power usage per unit.

Brian Boru Public House

We are pleased to inform you that since installation of IceCOLD® in our refrigeration and ice machine, our electric bills have seen a reduction of 21 percent the first month and 24 percent the second full month post installation. We are happy to be a referral for IceCOLD® to other pubs, bars, restaurants and businesses. That you for showing our business such incredible savings in energy cost and carbon emission.

Cafe Mezza and Grille

Thank you for introducing me to the “Ice Cold” refrigerant treatment for my air condition system.
This product really dose what you said it would do, after installing the IceCold® this June in our units, we have experienced a much cooler air coming out of our AC units than before, even through this year has been much hotter then last year we were able to keep our dinning area cool all day long and keep our customers happy not complaining about the heat.

Chuck E Cheese

From personal observation, I noticed that the kitchen was cooler, the air coming out the vents was noticeably cooler. The temperatures in the kitchen stayed below 80 degrees for much of the test. Only on the 12 and 13 did the temperature raise to over 80. This was due to high head pressure in the secondary compressor unit causing it to shut down. I feel that this product would save the company money on energy use in the range of 20 to 40 percent on AC usage per year.

City of Lakewood Colorado

I want to thank you on behalf of the City of Lakewood for the improvement that the IceCOLD® technology has provided to the air conditioning equipment at our Heritage Center Building located in the City of Lakewood, Colorado.
