Burnouts, Oil Migration, & Heat Transfer Rates

Oil migration and other chemicals (from burnouts) form an insulated layer & hinder the heat transfer capabilities of the evaporator and the condenser. When ThermoCool™ is introduced in the system, its highly conductive and electromagnetic molecules embed themselves into the space lattice of the metal thus filling the grain boundary and stabilizing the metal surface. This molecular polarization will displace the isolative layer of non-polarized molecules and will send them free-flowing throughout the system…and with the addition of proprietary components that make benign the Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules (that form acid and create oxidation) you have a system cleaner than ever!

The job of filters is not only to take out moisture, but also to trap these particulates. It is not uncommon to have older systems and those that have had burnouts to kick out higher amounts of contaminants that built up over the years, to the filters. If an oil test is ever done on the system after treatment with ThermoCool™, be aware that you should expect to see some higher amounts of particulate and contaminants, for a small period of time. One more reason to have an experienced HVAC/R technician install this technology and monitor filters. Below are some examples of filters that are “normal” dirty filters and those recovered in the field after treatment. Filters in systems with poor maintenance histories and/or burnouts can look ugly!

In the photo above, the filter on the left is a new, granular type liquid line drier. The filter on the right is after treatment with ThermoCool™...notice the streak of light gray on this filter…if you ever cross cut an evaporator or condenser, look on the inside of the copper tubes and you will see a small river of light gray, ash like substance lining the bottom of the tube. After ThermoCool™, it ends up in the filter.

In the photos above, the filter on the left is from a refrigeration unit post ThermoCool™. The picture on right is a close-up of a new filter – granular type - side by side with the same type of filter post ThermoCool™
