restoration of energy efficiency in cooling systems
DESCRIPTION
Our Cooling Systems Energy Efficiency (CSEE) Solution, also called PROATEQ,is a heat transfer enhancement specifically engineered to decrease kWhconsumption while increasing energy efficiency capacity. Your company'sexisting cooling and refrigerant systems would actually achieve reducedoperational cost in addition to the following benefits: 1) Lowers kWh consumption in HVAC/R Systems by +10% 2) Extends the productive life of HVAC/R Systems in increasing capacity to transfer heat by +15% 3) Extending the life of cooling equipmentTRANSCRIPT

What’s The Problem Space?
Compressor oil migration, which is unavoidable,impedes heat transfer capabilities that reduce energy efficiency
Loss of energy efficiency of 7-8% the 1st year,4-6% the 2nd year, and 2-4% each following year according to ASHRAE-1
This ‘silent’ problem degrades every year requiring more kWh ($$$) to overcome inefficiency
4
What’s the REAL Problem?? The real problem is the hard dollars it cost your
company to do nothing or continue in a maintenance program incapable of adequately addressing this ‘silent’ problem of inefficiency.
This problem is exacerbated by HVAC service industry that either aren’t aware of the magnitude of this problem, are misled by OEM to marginalize it, or who simply refuse to act in the presence of even the slightest risk.

Systems degrade due to buildup of contaminates oninternal metallic surfaces
This buildup causes:This buildup causes: Increased kWh at startup Heat exchange inefficiency Higher air supply temperature Increased operating time Wasted energy usage Higher electric bills Increased operating pressure Shorter equipment life
Why do systems lose efficiency? As defined by ASHRAE-3

Flow Heat Transfer
Oil film buildup inhibits flow and can reduce the amount of refrigerant available
The efficiency of heat transfer is reduced by the oil layer causing your unit to operate longer to achieve the desired temp

The only product on the market originally formulated and patented solely to be a Polarized Refrigerant Oil Additive (PROA), which enhances the heat transfer capabilities of evaporator and condenser coils in air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration systems.
It is a non-chlorinated, thermal conductive refrigerant oil additivethat saves energy and reduces equipment wear by increasing the efficiency of heat exchange systems.
Introducing The Solution:Cooling Systems Energy Efficiency
10
PROATEQ contains highly polarized molecules that work synergistically with compressor oil to improve the performance ofair conditioning and refrigeration systems by increasing the heat transfer capability.
The highly polarized charge of the PROATEQ molecules attract the refrigerant to the surfaces of the heat exchangers, resulting in accelerated heat transfer

PROATEQ is a refrigerant oil additive that saves energy and equipment by increasing the efficiency of heat exchange systems and reducing equipment wear.
Resolves the problem of compressor oil escaping out into the system. Using low viscosity non-particulate base oil for faster migration of polarized molecules, PROATEQ electro-staticallybonds to the interior surfaces of the evaporator and condenser coils.
What is PROATEQ?
13
PROATEQ dislodges the insulating oil film & bonds electromagnetically to the surface
Surface condition
Flow Heat Transfer
PROATEQ polarized molecule prevents oil film buildup and improves lubricity by over 75-85%
By returning the surface to a like new condition, heat is more easily transferred and run times are reduced

The University of Tennessee Thermal Science Research Center (TSRC) conducted performance tests on PROATEQ in a heat pump and an A/C unit – an increase of 14.2% proven
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) field testing showed a 25%
decrease in kWh consumption and an 11% decrease in KW demand – Dr. John Willingham, Energy services supervisor
Southwest Research Institute conducted FALEX (lubricity/bearing) Test: increase from 610 lbs. base line to 1,581 lbs. with the addition PROATEQ
Testing and Certifications
15
Test concluded that PROATEQ was responsible for a 73% to 95% increase in heat transfer.
At a minimum PROATEQ delivers a 75% to 85% increasein lubricity to refrigeration oils.
PROATEQ forms a thin monolayer on metallic surfaces; the net effect of which is to displace organic deposits while thermally conducting an increase in heat transfer.
PROATEQ cleans systems that have suffered burnout.

Two key ways that we mitigate risks to our clients:
$1,000,000 Liability Policy from Georgetown Utilities’ manufacturer – Ensateq and $500,000 Professional Liability Policy from Georgetown Utilities
Georgetown Utilities guarantees to increase HVAC/R System capacity by a minimum of 10%; if unable to do so, will refund all money associated with that HVAC/R System
Risk Mitigation
17
These two SLAs shield plausible risks to prospective clients. Georgetown Utilities has essentially isolated the client from any plausible risk.
Our CSEE Solution has been marketed nation-wide for ten years with not one damage claim filed against Georgetown Utilities or our manufacturer – ENSATEQ.
PROATEQ is insured by the Colony Insurance Company for $1 million per cooling system treated
Risk Mitigation
18
By law, our CSEE Solution should NOT effect product warranty or service level agreement based on results from NIST Test and the Magnusson-Moss Consumer Product Warranty Act of 1992
Investment cost for our CSEE Solution is partially based on total HVAC ton treated and a number of other implementation factors.
Typical payback period is 12 operating months or less.
