Compress Shield
General
Information
The primary purpose of Compress Shield® is to improve the
efficiency of air conditioners, chillers, and refrigerant systems,
thereby reducing the cost to operate. This cost reduction is obtained
through energy savings, lower maintenance costs and increased life of
the equipment.
Compress Shield has an activated polar
molecule that "seeks out" metal parts, displaces carbon contaminants
and stagnant oil buildup in the condenser and evaporator, and then
leaves a microscopic chemical layer, without the introduction of solid
particles. This layer provides lubrication 1500% greater than the
refrigerant oil alone, which reduces the wear factor by 85% when the
system cycles on and off.
Compress Shield increases the lubricating
ability of the refrigerant oil, displaces the buildup of oil in the
condenser and evaporator, thereby restoring the systems ability to
transfer heat.
Benefits
1) Increases efficiency!
2) Decreases amperage!
3) Lowers demand!
4) Reduces maintenance costs!
5) Increases the life of the equipment!

Application Domain
The PROA technology can be used to
treat air-conditioners, air-conditionings, and refrigeration units. It
can be used to treat rotary and screw-type compressors, hermetically
and semi-hermetically sealed positive displacement (reciprocating)
compressors, scroll compressors, and centrifugal chillers. The PROA
treatment can be applied to all sized air-conditioning and
refrigeration systems.
Compress Shield can be installed in systems where operating
temperatures range between -65°F (54°C) and 400°F
(204°C) with systems using R-134a, R-124, R-125, R-123 and R-122.
It is also compatible with refrigerants from the Methane series (R-10
to R-50), the Ethane series (R-110 to R-170), and the Propane series
(R216ca to R-290). It is also compatible with Chlorodifluoromethane
(R-502), Sulfur Dioxide (R-764) and Carbon Dioxide (R-744).
History of the technology
After 10 years of research and
development, PROA technology was created by scientists Dr. Charles
Wilkins, Jack Hammock and Dr. Charles Thompson. In 1990, U.S. Patent
4,963,280 was awarded. Patent infringements have led to many
"knock-off" products; however, Compress Shield® is the original
product that has been tested and installed for over 12 years in
thousands of compressors.
There are many types of refrigerant oil additives currently on the
market, but Compress Shield® is the original Polarized Refrigerant
Oil Additive (PROA) that is specifically designed to improve the
efficiency of heat exchangers in air-conditioners, chillers,
air-conditionings, and refrigeration systems, in addition to increasing
the lubricity of refrigerant oil and reducing wear on compressor parts.
Its unique patented formulation distinguishes it from all other oil
additives.
Compress Shield has been tested by private and governmental agencies in
the lab and in the field. Compress Shield has been successfully
installed in thousands of compressors, including manufacturing
facilities, refrigerated warehouses, universities, government
buildings, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls, and office
buildings. Compress Shield is proven to significantly reduce
maintenance problems and energy costs. In fact, the maintenance cost
savings may be greater than the energy savings.
Compress Shield is the only PROA product that is sold in the HVAC &
R Industry to contractors on a daily basis who use it, not for energy
savings, but for solving system problems.
References, installation and testing procedures, laboratory reports,
chemical and technical discussion of the product, savings verification
techniques, Manufacturer Warranty, and descriptions of problems
Compress Shield has solved are available from EnergySphere.
