Cold-Plus® A/C & Refrigeration Treatment

Presents

Solid Start • The Solid Start family began developing

and manufacturing maintenance chemicals in 1976 for:

– Automotive

– Racing

– Heavy industry

Solid Start - continued

• Solid Start family products have been sold worldwide

– In more than 100 countries

Now Solid Start Introduces • Cold-Plus® A/C & Refrigeration Treatment

– Patent Pending unique technology

Cold-Plus® Benefits 1. Reduces friction with PTFE

• Called “the slickest substance known to man”

– Like “wet ice on wet ice”

• Chemically inert – Does not react with

other chemicals

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued

2. Surfactants & detergents remove oil fouling – ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and

Air Conditioning Engineers) says that …

• Due to oil fouling

– First year; up to 7% efficiency loss

– Second year; up to 5% loss

– Following years; 2% lost per year

– Loss peaks at between 20 - 30%.

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued

• First oil fouling is removed

• Then nanopolymers help prevent the return of oil fouling

Photos of inside A/C tubes cut in

half demonstrate oil fouling removal

3. Speeds thermodynamics

– Heat transfer - A/C cooling phase

– Cold transfer - heat pump phase

• How?

– Less oil fouling improves heat & cold transfer

– Nanopolymers reduce surface tension and improve refrigerant flow

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued

4. Improves Pool Boiling (liquid turning to gas)

• How?

– Polymers act as a nuclei (center)

– Causes Pool Boiling approximately 20% faster

See Cold-Plus video

for live demonstration

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued

• Everyday life example of the improved heat transfer that speeds Pool Boiling:

o Many steam irons recommend using tap water vs. distilled water*. Particles in tap water improve heat transfer efficiency.

* A Consumer Reports study of 46 steam irons concluded that using distilled water risks ruining your iron and rendering your warranty useless.

5. Longer equipment life

– PTFE treatment reduces friction and can extend compressor life

PTFE, like

“wet ice on wet ice”

6. Reduced costs for Utilities, Power & Fuel

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued

7. Reduced costs for maintenance and repair

Cold-Plus® vs. the Competition • Cold-Plus® provides unique “second stage”

benefits beyond the competition – Oil fouling is removed and replaced with permanently

bonded slippery PTFE to prevent oil fouling’s return and increase refrigerant flow.

– Other inert nano-sized polymer particles circulate with refrigerant acting as a source of enhanced pool boiling, thus speeding thermodynamics and removing more heat.

Application Longevity • Each Cold-Plus®

application lasts the life of the system

• ROI (Return on Investment) is assured
