Presents Solid Start The Solid Start family began
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 – Unique patent-pending two-stage 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 Before treatment 10 days after treatment 26 months after treatment
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued 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.

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued 5. Longer equipment life – PTFE treatment reduces friction and can extend compressor life PTFE, like “wet ice on wet ice”
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued 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
Test Documentation Test documents demonstrate: – Removed oil fouling removal – Improved thermal transfer – Reduced costs for utilities / power / fuel – Reduced emissions & environmental impact – Increased lubricity – Reduced compressor run time Continued – next slide
Test Documentation – continued Test documents demonstrate: – – – Reduced start-up amp draw Improved pool boiling Longer Unit Life Reduced Maintenance Costs Application Longevity ROI (Return on Investment)
