What is Icecold?

IceCOLD is a combination of synthetic catalysts used to increase the efficiency of HVAC units and produce energy cost savings.
Oil fouling occurs in units over time and reduces the efficiency of the heat transfer by as much as 20-30%. With the installation
of IceCOLD, the catalyst will break down the surface tension between the oil globules and the walls of the refrigeration tubing,
thus restoring the unit to near new equipment levels and regaining lost efficiency.




How does IceCOLD work?

In virtually all air conditioning and refrigeration systems, ½ - 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.  Contaminating oil films are deposited
throughout the system and it is these oil deposits that ultimately inhibit heat transfer and reduce system efficiency.


  • Removes oil fouling:
    - Improves coil heat transfer by as much as 73%

  • Refrigerant evaporates at a lower temperature:
    - Produces colder air faster
    - Delivers colder air through vents

  • Delivers 54% higher lubricity to compressor oil
    - Allows compressors to run more coolly
    - Extends the life of the compressor, delaying maintenance



What are some benefits of IceCOLD technology?

  • Reduces AC costs by approximately 20%
  • 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
  • IceCOLD is guaranteed to provide a minimum of 10% energy savings

 



Does HVAC equipment last longer if using IceCOLD?

IceCOLD allows the air conditioning unit to run up to 20% less time than if the unit did not have
IceCOLD applied.  This will extend the life of your compressor by approximately 20%.
The unit will also have less wear as friction noise and vibration will generally be reduced.
IceCOLD helps to clean and restore older units.

 



How is IceCOLD applied?

IceCOLD is applied in the same way as any other refrigerant oil being added to the system.




What is the life span of IceCOLD application?

IceCOLD 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 IceCOLD will be required.

 



How long is the payback for an IceCOLD customer?

Typical system installations with an IceCOLD application yield paybacks of less than one year.
However, specific payback is contingent on heat load, initial system condition, and AC usage habits.

 



Where is IceCOLD manufactured?

All IceCOLD technology is manufactured in Houston, Texas.  The manufacturing plant is ISO-9001
compliant.  It has experienced consultants and complies with OSHA and EPA risk management programs.

 



Is IceCOLD patented?

No, IceCOLD is a confidential formulation designated as a trade secret.  Non-disclosure agreements
are in place with manufacturer, testing facilities, distributors, and sales representatives.




What type of documentation on IceCOLD is available?

  • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) (see it)
  • Third Party tests
    - SAE (see it)
    Contact Huddle for specific data or questions concerning specific equipment


How does IceCOLD compare to other products?
Is it a "PROA?"

IceCOLD is not a PROA. Its chemical composition and action are fundamentally different.

 


     

    Will installation of IceCOLD void my AC warranty?

     No.  The Magnuson-Moss Act 15USC ss230 enabled regulation of written consumer product warranties. Click here for more information.
