HOW TO SAVE ENERGY AND PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT

Treating air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration systems with a Refrigerant Enhancement Additive has been proven in the laboratory and by customer use to reduce power consumption by 10% to 30%. This improves heat transfer in the condenser and evaporator coils in these systems, resulting in substantial savings.

The energy cost savings realized will, in most applications, recover the investment in one year or less. The savings and performance improvements will continue for the life of the system.

SYSTEM BENEFITS

Lubrication:

In most systems, there are times when the refrigerant thins the oil to a point where the lubricant no longer protects the compressor. Compressor oils, as well as compressor lubrication systems, generally provide poor bearing lubrication at each compressor start-up. ECO-AREA-Q forms a molecular film on compressor bearings, protecting the compressor at the start-up of each cycle, when the oil has drained from the load-bearing surfaces.

ECO-AREA-Q does not drain from compressor surfaces. ECO-AREA-Q is not removed by filtration, as are standard lubricants, mechanical lubricants, or solid particle lubricants. ECO-AREA-Q continues to protect the system, even when temperature and stress have caused conventional lubricants to become useless. In addition, ECO-AREA-Q helps prevent welding (galling) and bearing seize-up during high stress operating periods, with an anti-gall/anti-weld additive.

ECO-AREA-Q bonds to the metal and greatly increases the lubricity of compressor oils. Because of the increased lubricity with ECO-AREA-Q, compressor oils will last longer in your compressor. In large systems where oil changes are periodically required, ECO-AREA-Q can extend the life of the oil and the time between changes. This reduces annual maintenance costs.

Thermal and Oxidation Stability:

ECO-AREA-Q contains a thermal and oxidation stabilizer for the lubricating oil mixture, greatly increasing the compressor’s chance for long-term survival. ECO-AREA-Q greatly improves the compressor oil’s ability to resist oxidation and corrosion.

Color and Heat Stabilizer:

ECO-AREA-Q contains an oil color and heat stabilizer. This enables ECO-AREA-Q to protect your compressor oil from chemically breaking down at temperatures above 300° F.

Rapid System Improvement:

ECO-AREA-Q benefits are quickly demonstrable--within 20-30 minutes in small systems such as cars; within one to two weeks in most larger systems in business or industrial applications. It is common to see an increase in cooling efficiency, indicated by a decrease in energy consumption, and a noticeably cooler temperature at the duct outlet.

Acid Scavenger:

Compressor systems are very sensitive to acids. Acid formation occurs when moisture combines with chlorine or one of the other halogens that are part of compounds that break down inside the compressor due to heat or stress. The free acids attack the windings on the compressor motor, or attack the compressor bearing surfaces, causing compressor burn out. ECO-AREA-Q contains no chlorinated or halogenated compounds that could potentially break down and form damaging acids. What ECO-AREA-Q does contain is an acid scavenger that finds and ties-up free acids if they occur in a system, rendering them harmless to the sensitive components in the compressor.

Results:

All the components of ECO-AREA-Q help extend the equipment life and reduce maintenance costs. Installation of ECO-AREA-Q in your system provides the most technologically advanced lubricant on the market today. ECO-AREA-Q protects the compressor’s oil from breaking down, by including a thermal and oxidation stabilizer and a color and heat stabilizer. ECO-AREA-Q reduces noise and vibration caused by friction and will literally clean and restore older systems. ECO-AREA-Q contains an acid scavenger that blocks acids from causing compressor burn out. ECO-AREA-Q acts rapidly and continues to protect for the life of your compressor.

LIMITED FIVE YEAR WARRANTY

ECO-AREA-Q has been formulated to provide a high level of trouble-free performance. The science behind the development embodies many years of experience in formulation of industrial lubricants, and many years of experience in high-tech manufacturing and customer service. Only ECO-AREA-Q purchased from an authorized dealers is covered by the terms of this warranty.

Universal Water Technologies (UWT) warrants ECO-AREA-Q to be free from defects in material and workmanship. When ECO-AREA-Q is properly installed in a compressor system that is in good working order, UWT will repair or replace that compressor system proved to be damaged solely by the product. This warranty shall extend for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase to the original purchaser/end-user only, and is not assignable or transferable. If the Installer fails to follow the proper UWT recommended installation procedure, this warranty will be void. This warranty is limited to actual damage to treated equipment, and does not include incidental or consequential damages or damages of any other kind or character. This warranty shall not apply to any product that has been subject to misuse, abuse, mishandling, tampering, spillage, contamination during or after shipment, or any defects or damage caused by improper handling or storage.

ECO-AREA-Q AND EQUIPMENT WARRANTIES

ECO-AREA-Q meets or exceeds all major equipment manufacturers’ warranty standards for compressor oils. The Magnusson-Moss Consumer Product Warranty Act, a federal law passed by congress, prohibits compressor manufacturers from voiding their warranties because of the addition of third party oil additives, unless that equipment manufacturer can prove that the lubricant harmed the equipment. UWT is confident that there is absolutely nothing in ECO-AREA-Q that can harm the equipment.
