Air Conditioner Efficiency Services

The first thing to consider when talking about Air Conditioner efficiency is how heat transfer works within the cooling process. The way an AC unit cools is by transferring heat from one area of the unit to the other side through the use of refrigerant. Air is taken from the area of the house that needs cooling and then blown into an evaporator coil. The coil transfers the heat to the refrigerant in the coils of the air conditioner. The hot refrigerant is then pumped outside through the compressor and condensing coils. There is a fan in the air conditioner that blows air across the coils which takes the heat off the coils and into the air removing that heat from within the house and in the AC unit allowing it to transfer away leaving the home cool. This process of removing heat from within a house keeps going until the thermostat registers the desired heat for the room.

The Right Air Conditioning Lubricant for the Job

The lubricant known as PermaFrost was created to remove heat from the metal coils and surfaces while increasing refrigerant flow. In a little bit harder to understand lingo the PermaFrost product increases thermo-conductivity for a faster increase in the transfer of heat throughout the equipment. The state of the art science in Perma Frost is based on a molecular composition called "passivates" and stabilizes the metal components in the air conditioning system. The coolant absorbs and dissipates heat at a faster transfer rate. The air conditioning unit can achieve a set temperature a little quicker while taking less energy from the meter. PermaFrost effectively helps an air conditioning unit perform at their most efficient performance levels as they were designed to do.

Air Conditioner Friction in Coils

When an air conditioner gets old it has erosion and general wear and tear that creates additional unwanted friction inside the coils. Friction causes unwanted heat which makes the air conditioner less efficient then it was designed to be. Actually any type of gas that runs through a pipe has to deal with friction. Friction slows the process down making a system inefficient. The drag created between the gas and metal surface makes your system inefficient enough that you could easily be loosing several hundred dollars a year. The friction then will slow down the layer of gas above the layer in contact with the metal. This layer by layer drag is called "Laminar Friction". There is another term that refers to all of these layers flowing through the tube at once despite the friction. The middle of the layers moves the fastest through the tube which together is known as Laminar Flow.

Before Applying Permafrost

Because Air Conditioning Units need oil to lubricate their parts they eventually form an insulative nonconductive layer over the surface of the condensing and evaporator coil. After awhile this oil film creates a reduction in efficiency and greatly increases maintenance costs. If left long enough the build up can end the life of the compressor in an air conditioner but in the mean time it is creating a greater energy consumption hog for your homes electric bill. The AC if left un maintained will reduce the energy efficiency of the AC system as it tries to deliver the desired temperature to a room. With air conditioners in this state the compressors run for longer time periods and use more electricity.

The difference when having PermaFrost in the A/C unit is like night and day. The compounds in Permafrost have a strong affinity to metals and so displace energy robbing deposit minimizing coil, condenser and evaporator surface friction. The permafrost solution enables the coolant to have closer contact with the metal allowing for faster heat transfer, less friction, and overall better energy efficiency thereby reducing your electric bill. Permafrost allows for less energy to spread the refrigerant throughout the air conditioning system.

After Applying PermaFrost

PermaFrost flows throughout the system by migrating with the refrigerant allowing it to enter all areas in the air conditioning unit. The highly charged thermo-conductive compounds allow Permfrost to eliminate future buildup and increase the thermo-conductivity of the unit for the life of the system. The polar compounds allow for thermo-conductive energy to direct the flow of refrigerant by acting as a molecular fin. More cooling action is able to take place with less energy. The capital investment in Permafrost is able to be recovered in less then a year making this a good way to add needed income to the bottom line of a families budget. By implementing this energy efficiency product with the replacement of light bulbs and radiant barrier attic insulation you could cut your energy bill by about 50% - 60%. If you only had the money to spend on Permafrost you would still cut your energy bill by 10% - 20%. Permafrost often misspelled and mistaken with PermFrost is a good starting point for investing an energy efficient solution for your home.
