Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner Efficiency

Why Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner Systems Lose Efficiency

Over time, it’s natural for your reverse cycle air conditioner system to lose efficiency. In fact, from the very first day of use, your system begins to experience a gradual decline in performance. This process occurs regardless of the brand, size, or price of your unit.

Engineers and experts in the HVAC field have long studied this issue. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has confirmed that most reverse cycle systems lose around 7% of their efficiency in the first year, 5% in the second year, and about 2% per year thereafter. This adds up to a potential total loss of around 30% efficiency over time. The main cause of this decline is oil fouling, which begins from the moment your system is switched on.

Understanding Oil Fouling in Reverse Cycle Systems

Oil fouling occurs when the lubricating oil in your air conditioning system migrates to the coil system, contaminating the metal surfaces that transfer heat. This contamination reduces the system’s efficiency, as the oil deposits create a layer of non-conductive material, leading to increased energy use, more wear and tear, and reduced comfort.

How EnviroTemp Improves Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner Efficiency

EnviroTemp is a highly concentrated, thermo-conductive oil-based product designed to be injected directly into your air conditioning system’s compressor. It works by displacing the oil fouling and forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces within the system. This process improves heat transfer, reduces energy consumption, and increases the overall efficiency of your air conditioner.

The Working Mechanism of EnviroTemp in Air Conditioning Systems

Once EnviroTemp is introduced into your system, it attaches to the metal surfaces, displacing the oil fouling and other contaminants. This results in a smoother refrigerant flow, which enhances the system’s performance and reduces energy consumption. The protective layer formed by EnviroTemp is a single molecule thick, ensuring long-lasting protection and improved efficiency.

EnviroTemp is compatible with all common refrigerants, including HFC (R410a, R134a) and HCFC (R22). It is also ozone-friendly and chlorine-free, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

Benefits of Using EnviroTemp in Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners

  1. Improved Comfort: EnviroTemp enhances heat transfer, leading to better temperature control and quicker comfort. Your system will reach the desired temperature more quickly, maintaining it with greater ease.

  2. Increased Efficiency: By treating your air conditioner with EnviroTemp, you can improve its efficiency by 20% to 80%. This means your system will achieve the desired temperature faster, reducing energy consumption and wear and tear.

  3. Extended System Life: EnviroTemp reduces the strain on your system by eliminating oil fouling, which helps extend the lifespan of your air conditioner.

  4. Energy Savings: Many users report energy savings of up to 30% after using EnviroTemp. This is due to the improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption of the treated system.

  5. Environmentally Friendly: EnviroTemp is an eco-friendly solution that helps reduce your carbon footprint by lowering energy consumption.

Technical Note: How EnviroTemp Works in Reverse Cycle Systems

The molecules in EnviroTemp attach to the metal surfaces in your air conditioning system, forming a bond that prevents future oil fouling. This protective layer remains intact for the life of the unit, ensuring long-term efficiency.

Conclusion: Boost Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner Efficiency with EnviroTemp

EnviroTemp offers a one-time solution to overcome the natural efficiency losses in reverse cycle air conditioners. Whether your system is new or old, EnviroTemp can help improve its performance, reduce energy costs, and extend its lifespan.
