About IceCOLD®
IceCOLD® is a synthetic refrigeration catalyst technology
IceCOLD® can change the way you think about air conditioning
- Increases efficiency of cooling systems
by a minimum of 10% - Extends the life of the AC unit
- More efficient AC means less electricity = fewer carbon emissions

Quick Facts
Air Conditioning 101
A typical air conditioner consists of evaporator and compressor coils, compressor,
refrigerant, outside and inside fans, a condenser, and evaporator. Refrigerant flows
through the coils, alternating between an evaporated gas and condensed liquid,
and transfers heat from air inside the cooling space to the outside air. The air is
circulated by the fans - warm air arrives, passes over the coils, and cold air is
blown back into the cooling space. The key mechanism in this process is the heat
exchange between the refrigerant and the circulating air.
- Compressor oil travels with the refrigerant - some sticks to inside of the coils.
This is called "oil fouling," and inhibits heat exchange. ASHRAE reports that oil
fouling can degrade system performance by 30+%
IceCOLD® catalyst technology
- IceCOLD® contains two catalysts and a lubricity agent that enables an AC to run at
maximum efficiency
- The first catalyst breaks the surface tension (van der Waals) forces between oil
molecules. This breaks up the oil fouling and allows for maximum efficiency in heat exchange.
- The second catalyst causes the refrigerant to evaporate at a lower temperature. This pulls
more heat from the supply air so the fan blows colder air
- The lubricity agent increases the lubricity of the compressor oil by up to 54% (SAE). This means the
compressor will perform better and last longer.
The Savings
- IceCOLD enables the air conditioner to blow colder air. This means spaces cool more quickly and the
compressor runs less. The less the compressor runs, the less electricity is being used. - If the compressor runs less and works more efficiently it will last longer.
This means there is deferred savings in maintenance and replacement costs.
