Oil Fouling:

When we drive our cars around that have oil lubricated engines, small amounts of oil get past the piston and burn out, which is why we have a dipstick.

The same thing happens in HVAC and Refrigeration/Freezer systems. Since these are all closed, sealed systems, when small amounts of oil get past the piston or crankshaft it adheres to the inner walls of the refrigerant tubes and reduces the heat transfer and capacity. This makes your machines run harder and longer to cool the space – as much as 35% or more over time. This also increases maintenance costs and reduces equipment life.

Internationally now for over 30 years.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Study Titled  “Effects of Oil on Boiling of Replacement Refrigerants Flowing Normal to a Tube Bundle”

“Even at 1 percent (by weight) oil [in the refrigerant], the heat transfer coefficient is reduced by 25%  from its no-oil baseline.  At higher oil content, a 30% reduction has been typically measured.”

CryoGenX4

After 20 years of continual advancement, CryoGenX4 is the fourth patented evolution of a liquid surface science nanotechnology. Tiny particles are electromagnetically charged to push past fouled oil and embed in all interior metal surfaces. Think of it like Teflon in a frying pan. CryoGenX4 removes and emulsifies the oil fouling the heat exchange surfaces and activates the surface to enhance its ability to transfer heat, preventing the oil from ever adhering to the coils again, improving efficiency, capacity and provides savings every year for the lifetime of the equipment.  A one-time treatment provides savings every year that lasts for the lifetime of the equipment and is deployed while the equipment is running without disruption to the business.  Paybacks are typically 6 months- 3 years and yield a return on investment of 400%-1200%.

CryoGenX4 is highly effective on every type, and age, of HVAC or refrigeration system.  For older units, CryoGenX4 returns nearly all the lost efficiency and capacity and provides savings every year for the rest of its life.  For newer units, CryoGenX4 avoids degradation from the start and therefore maximizes the company’s lifetime savings while extending the life of the machines up to 20%.

Absolutely.  On average this problem makes your equipment run harder and more often than it needs to and therefore directly contributes to Scope 2 emissions by using 15-20% additional kWh to operate.  Depending on your industry, this typically translates to 8-20% of your overall electricity bill that can be directly and permanently reduced with a one-time treatment.

All products are made in the USA using chemicals that occur abundantly in our environment and that are naturally safe for humans. 

The manufacturer has been in business for more than 20 years. Over that time, these products have been tested safe and effective by top laboratories like Texas Oil Tech, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Department of Energy (DOE) / Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), National Safety Foundation (NSF), Electrolux Labs, and Energy Australia.  Should a spill occur, clean-up procedures are the same as refrigerant oil as outlined in the TST Material Safety Data Sheet.

Manufactured to the Highest Standards -- All products meet or surpass HVAC/R compatibility standards with all prevalent refrigerants and refrigerant lubricants on the market as of 1 January 2021.  All products are manufactured under current International Organization for Standards (ISO) guidelines for repeatable quality.  Following these stringent standards protects against defects or causing any type of adverse reactions within HVAC/R systems.

Will Not Void Existing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Warranties 

Certified and tested by Texas Oil Technical Laboratories, this family of products meet or exceed the viscosity and all compatibility specifications required by the OEM’s. A very small amount of CryoGenX4™ is required to be installed in each system to produce significant thermal energy transfer improvements.  The technology does not change the characteristics of floc point, flash point, viscosity index, pour point or any other characteristics of the existing system mineral or synthetic equipment refrigeration oil.  It does however greatly enhance the lubricity.  

Additionally, CryoGenX4™ does not alter, associate or blend with any types of refrigerants. It simply requires the refrigerant within all HVAC/R systems to be utilized as a temporary transport mechanism (just like the oil) to allow complete distribution of the technology throughout the mechanical and heat exchange surfaces.  

The TST products are neither oils nor refrigerant additives. Instead, they are a permanent thermal enhancement treatment for metal surfaces.  This is detailed in the aforementioned Texas Oil Technical Laboratory test report defining the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) classifications; ASTM D3233, ASTM D1500, ASTM D93, ASTM D445, and ASTM D97 for compatibility with refrigerants and lubricants. Performance improvements are also backed up by independent Department of Energy and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) testing.

No HVAC/R original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the USA has tested any of the TST products, nor has any expressed any future interest in doing so.  The Manufacturers have a better financial interest in selling new machines, not restoring your old ones.  Because OEM’s have not participated with us on any testing of the TST products, by law they cannot claim that simply using them will void any remaining OEM warranties.

Unmatched Equipment Protection -- In the unlikely event any damage would ever result from the use of properly installed TST products, TST maintains $1M in liability protection per location to repair or replace the affected equipment. In more than 20 years on the market and 150,000+ installations worldwide, there have been zero claims. This industry-leading protection remains in effect for the remaining useful life of the equipment. As part of this same equipment protection policy, TST will also cover any potential loss of revenue or products for up to $2M that results from an HVAC or refrigeration outage directly attributable to any TST products. Higher protection amounts up to $7M are available for larger deployments.

After 155,000 installations- zero insurance claims for issues to date.

THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES, (i) RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR THE WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY OR ITS PERSONNEL, (ii) STEMMING FROM PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY A PARTY OR ITS PERSONNEL.

Rooftop Split systems, refrigeration, DX, Ptacs, reefers, etc - 

• Require 1 Oz of CryoGenX4 for every ton of HVAC/R
• Example: 20 ton HVAC requires 20 ozs CryoGenX4

 Chillers- Freon Based

• Require 1 Oz of CryogenX4 for every 10 ozs of oil in the sump.
• Example – Chiller has 9 gallons of Oil in the Sump. 9 x 128oz = 1152 ozs. / 10 or 115.2 ounces needed to treat the equipment.
  • Requires 116 Ozs

Chillers- Ammonia 

• Require 1 oz of CryoGenX4 Ammonia for every 20 ozs of oil in the system. 
• Example- Ammonia Chiller system has 30 gallons of Oil = 30 x 128oz =3840 ounces of oil / 20
  • 192 ozs of CryoGenX4

It normally takes 15- 30 minutes to install in any system. CryoGenX4 is installed in the same port you would add refrigerant and is pumped in while the equipment is running. No downtime or disruption to the business is required. It takes about another 24 hours of runtime for the refrigerant to circulate around and embed itself into all the interior walls.

Energy Efficient Technologies has a team of over 11,000 installers in over 175 locations certified in all types of equipment ready to deploy. Current coverage includes the USA, Mexico, Caribbean, Canada, Europe,  Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Middle East, South Africa. These teams can also travel anywhere for deployments.

In the US:

Energy Efficient Technologies or the manufacturer have not yet been asked to conduct detailed testing for Trane, York, Thermo King, Carrier or any other USA HVAC equipment manufacturer and really don't expect to be. The reason is the manufacturers have nothing financially to gain by doing so. They make more revenue and profit from replacing/ repairing old equipment and therefore aren’t interested in promoting a product that would reinstate lost efficiency and extend equipment life. CryoGenX4 brings back lost efficiency and extends the life of the units which ultimately reduces the money spent with these manufacturers. 

Due to the fact that none of these manufacturers have tested the CryoGenX4 technology, they cannot legally claim that it will void any warranties – especially when it meets or exceeds the same industry standards as anything they currently recommend and that it doesn’t change any of the characteristics of the oil or freon.

Unless your technician is a chemist, materials engineer, or R&D engineer they are not qualified to provide an accurate assessment of this technology.  The safest answer, lowest risk, and therefore best perceived way of them keeping their job is to tell you they would not recommend any of these new technologies.  Since they don’t know or understand how it works or how safe it is, they think something may go wrong and they don’t want to be perceived as the one who recommended it and be fired.

The world is constantly evolving with new technology.  The patent holder of CryoGenX4 was a consultant on the Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil development team several decades ago.  At that time, no one wanted to use, let alone recommend synthetic motor oil as it was an unknown quantity.  Would it damage my equipment?  What are the negative effects, if any, etc.?

In today’s world, you cannot buy a Mercedes, BMW or new Corvette without it coming installed at the factory. Furthermore, you in fact can void the warranty if you don’t continue to use it.

Following Deployment -- These products are nano-compounds that will, in the course of their performance, release particulates and efficiency-robbing oil that has deposited within the refrigeration circuit over time. This happens quickly and >99% of time without any issues. In less than 1% of cases, however, an unusually large amount of these particulates may have developed as a result of a prior catastrophic failure (i.e. compressor burnout; soldering in a new section of coil, etc.) and were not properly removed prior to returning the system into service. After CryoGenX4 is introduced, these heavy contaminants will, in nearly all cases, become active within the refrigerant flow and settle within the molecular sieve of a standard refrigerant filter drier potentially metering or plugging the filter drier, especially a very small filter drier. This is normally indicated by having greater than 1.5 Degrees F difference across the filter dryer while running.  

In this type of situation, the HVAC system will deliver poor performance or even shut down until the clogged filter drier is replaced.  This filter replacement normally takes less than 30 minutes. As long as the machine has had a chance to run for 48 hours leading up to the filter change, CryoGenX4 does not need to be replaced or reinstalled. It is already embedded into the inner lining of the tubes.

Given the amount of debris or contaminants required to clog a filter drier, changing the oil in the system is also recommended should a filter drier replacement be deemed necessary. This will ensure the integrity of the oil is maintained within the system for the foreseeable future.

Following Deployment – As stated in the previous question, these products are nano-compounds that will, in the course of their performance, release the particulates and efficiency-robbing oil that has deposited within the refrigeration circuit over time. This happens quickly and >99% of time without any issues. In less than 1% of cases, however, an unusually large amount of these particulates and/or oil fouling may have developed over time. 

After the product is introduced, these heavy contaminants and/or oil amounts will, in nearly all cases, become active within the refrigerant flow and be carried back to and deposited in the oil sump.  In rare cases an extremely large volume of returning oil may overload the sump.  To prevent this from occurring, the oil site glass should be checked periodically during the first two weeks following installation. This is the time when CryoGenX4 is doing the heavy lifting treating the metal surfaces.  If the site glass starts to go out of the normal operating range, extra oil should be drained off until the level in the site glass returns to normal.
