Cooling – The Process of Heat Transfer
Using Refrigerants to Transfer Heat
Cooling is a process of transferring heat from one location to another.
When an air conditioning system cools, it removes heat by transferring it
using compounds called refrigerants.
Role of Condenser & Compressor Units
As refrigerant travels through an air conditioning system, it goes
through a cycle of expanding into a vapor and condensing into a liquid. Air
conditioners have condenser and compressor units that are typically located
outside where they can transfer heat from within the building into the
environment through the evaporation and condensing process. As the name
implies, a compressor/condenser turns refrigerant into a liquid.
Moving the Hot Air to the Outside of Your Building or Car
As vapor refrigerant is compressed, it gives off heat and turns into a
liquid. The liquid refrigerant moves from the compressor/condenser into the
structure through a unit called the evaporator that is usually located
within the building. Hot air gathered from the building is blown over coils
within the evaporator that contain the liquid refrigerant. As the
refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, it turns into a vapor. This is how
heat from the interior air is transferred through the coils to the
refrigerant which carries the heat back outside to the compressor/condenser.
Within a typical air conditioning system, a layer of non-conductive oil
will attach itself to the inner lining of the system.
This layer of oil will restrict the flow of the refrigerant through the
system and thus decrease heat transfer rates. PermaFrost will dislodge the
non-conductive layer of oil that lines the tubing within your system and
replace it with highly charged thermo-conductive molecules that will
increase the flow of refrigerant through the system and help facilitate
increased heat transfer.
Before PermaFrost
- Reduced system efficiency.
- System works harder to deliver the design specification results.
- Causes it to run longer and use more energy.
- Increases wear and tear.
With PermaFrost
- PermaFrost, once injected will dislodge the isolative, non-conductive
layer of oil and replace it with highly charged thermo-conductive
molecules whereby eliminating future build-up for the life of the system.
- The energy that was lost to friction now is restored. There is
additional heat conductivity, dissipation and less energy is needed to
"circulate" the refrigerant throughout the system.
- The compounds integrated into the technology contain polarity. As we
know heat is energy and energy can be made directional by another form of
energy, which in the case of PermaFrost is the thermo-conductive
compounds.
- By acting as molecular fins, PermaFrost attracts the heat from the
refrigerant and conducts it through the metal at an accelerated rate
therefore increasing the systems capacity and reducing energy, resulting
in more cooling action with less energy.
