MaxR 100 Metal Conditioner for long term energy savings
|
So, how does our Metal conditioner save money on HVAC and Refrigeration costs? A Metal conditioner saves money in six (6) ways:
1. Increases Efficiency in the Evaporator and Condenser - by removing oil that accumulates on the inside surfaces over time. Increased evaporator and condenser efficiency reduces energy consumption by satisfying the demand load quicker, therefore reducing compressor run time. Bottom line, compressors that are not running are saving money on monthly electrical costs.
2. Reduces Compressor AMP Draw - the increased lubricity Metal conditioner instills into any compressor oil reduces metal-to-metal friction thereby reducing compressor AMP draw and reducing the amount of heat generated by the friction. The reduced refrigerant heat load allows it to be used more for cooling the desired area rather than cooling the compressor. Reduced heat equates to increased compressor life.
3. Reduces Utility Companies Monthly Electrical Demand Charges – the increased lubricity Metal conditioner instills into the oil reduces the “in rush” current when HVAC, Chiller and Refrigeration systems need to start up. Demand charges caused by HVAC Systems account for a significant amount of the monthly electrical costs for commercial buildings. Manufacturers as well as commercial facilities will also benefit from reduced demand charges as a result of using a Metal conditioner in their HVAC and refrigeration equipment.
4. Reduces Ongoing Maintenance Costs – primarily due to reduced compressor run time and reduced friction, and therefore heat load on the compressors, ongoing maintenance costs are reduced. Scheduled maintenance is necessary, but when unscheduled maintenance is reduced, possible work force reductions and replacement part savings are also achieved. (Reduced heat load on the compressor is where the compressor obtains the extended useful life)
5. Protection Extends Equipments Useful Life – due again to the reduced heat load and reduced compressor run time. Extended equipment life defers costly replacements and upgrades due to equipment failure and loss of efficiency. According to ASHRAE, the average HVAC and Refrigeration System loses between 2% to 4% per year in efficiency due to oil logging in the evaporator and condenser. The metal conditioner is a long-term solution to this annual loss in efficiency.
The long term benefits of a Metal conditioner come more from increased equipment life and reduced compressor failures than energy savings. Our experience is that a Metal conditioner doubles the useful life of the compressors. Personally, I think this is why manufacturers do not want to install this type of product in their equipment. If you look at Trane’s financial reports 30%+ and York International 34%+ of their revenues are derived from repair parts, mostly compressors. Why would they want to cut that revenue stream in half or more?
Metal conditioners have been on the market for over 20 years without ONE insurance claim for failure.
This screams stablity and reliablity.
