Refrigeration technology: how to save energy costs.


A breakthrough in air conditioning and refrigeration technology, Frigaid, is now available through the newly formed sales and marketing company PROA Direct.

A one time application of the product prolongs the life of the cooling system as it uses less electricity; thereby, saving a significant amount of energy and money.

After many years of laboratory and field testing the manufacturer of Frigaid, the Moletec Corporation, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, derived a polarized A one-way direction of a signal or the molecules within a material pointing in one direction.  refrigerant re·frig·er·ant
adj.
1. Cooling or freezing; refrigerating.

2. Reducing fever.

n.
1. A substance, such as air, ammonia, water, or carbon dioxide, used to provide cooling either as the working substance of
 oil additive. Mr. Jeff Lutz, President of PROA Direct, explains that, "air conditioning and refrigeration systems are heat transfer devices. By removing heat from the air in a building or a refrigerated area, the area becomes cooler. The equipment must operate until the desired temperature is reached. The single key to lowering operating costs is to maintain peak efficiency which, in turn, reduces operating time. Through metallurgical thermodynamics thermodynamics, branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to mechanical, electric, and chemical energy. Historically, it grew out of efforts to construct more efficient heat engines—devices for extracting useful work from expanding  and metal surface chemistry Frigaid accelerates the heat transfer process, thus significantly reducing the operating time."

An analysis report commissioned by the United States Department of Energy The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is a Cabinet-level department of the United States government responsible for energy policy and nuclear safety. Its purview includes the nation's nuclear weapons program, nuclear reactor production for the United States Navy,  states, "A system treated with Frigaid will experience increased volumetric efficiency, reduced laminar flow, quieter operation, compressor seal protection, increased resistance to oxidation, a 1500% increase in lubricating ability, reduced run time, extended equipment life and energy savings averaging 21.2%." The report is extremely favorable to Frigaid--a big thumbs up!

Besides the federal government tests, other industry organizations such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers have tested and approved of the application of Frigaid. The product has been tested and applied to the cooling systems of major universities (George Washington University George Washington University, at Washington, D.C.; coeducational; chartered 1821 as Columbian College (one of the first nonsectarian colleges), opened 1822, became a university in 1873, renamed 1904. , Texas A&M) and well-known manufacturing companies (Lockheed Martin, Quality Foods) and approved for usage in Texas schools by the "Buy Board" of the Texas Association of School Boards.
