Artikool
Artikool is a metal conditioner used in extreme pressure situations as an additive to lubricate the system. This formula is unique in this industry since it is free from the Halogen group (chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine and astatine) of chemical elements. These elements of the Halogen group, especially chlorine and fluorine are known to combine with hydrogen and form very undesirable (corrosive) hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, respectively.
This unique Polarized Refrigerant Oil Additive (PROA) formula is useful in many applications, including: consumer, commercial military, industrial, federal sector refrigeration and chillers, air-conditioning systems, heat pumps in addition to engines, and machining and weapons lube. This PROA additive in a system increases lubricity of refrigerant oils (significantly enhancing compressor operation and efficiency) and significantly improved heat transfer in the evaporator and condensing coils.
Artikool additive is blended appropriately to the equipment design into the refrigerant oil reservoir or refrigerant flow. The PROA is carried with the primary lubricant moving throughout the system. We refer to the additive as being polarized since there is covalent molecular bonding that takes place between the negatively charged Artikool molecules and the positive charge of the metal surfaces. Each Artikool negatively charged molecule attaches to the metal surfaces inside the system; these surfaces are conditioned, displacing dirt, carbon deposits (coking) and lubrication oil build-up. Eventually a thin layer one molecule thick is formed of Artikool in the system; providing optimum conditions for efficient thermal conductivity within the heat exchanger system or refrigeration/air conditioning equipment. In addition, Artikool provides greatly enhanced lubrication to all moving parts of refrigeration equipment under extreme pressure.
Case Study:
The Federal Energy Management Program, a part of the U.S. Department of Energy quotes a study in the City of Austin Texas. They conducted a test on a large gymnasium served by six 10-year old, 10-ton (35kW) packaged Lennox air-conditioners. All six units were tuned up, filters charged, belts adjusted, and refrigerant charges checked. When a PROA was added the study found that the compressor ran significantly quieter. The energy consumption was reduced 22% from 1173kWh to 915kWh. Based on a 1995 publication by the FEMP.
