Patented Solution To Improve Cooling System Performance

CRYOGENX4 is an advanced, multi-patented state-of-the-art molecular nanotechnology (in liquid form) designed and manufactured to boost the cooling and heating performance and efficiency of any HVAC/R/HP system. The result is a significant reduction in the cost to operate (kW/ton) the equipment, increased overall capacity (tons), improved coefficient of performance (COP), and extended equipment life. As the Houston, TX-based inventor and manufacturer, TRI-S Technologies has been a viable company for 30 yrs. In that time, we have perfected our thermal transfer nanotechnology through continuing advances in science, engineering, and chemistry. In 2017, we unveiled our powerful 4th generation product line – CRYOGENX4.

Technology Overview

Installed into the suction port(s) using a refrigerant oil pump (photo) while the system is running, CRYOGENX4 requires no modifications or alterations to the system.

Efficiency gains are accomplished by addressing the main factors of thermal performance drop-offs including thermal transfer degradation from oil film buildup, internal lubrication and friction issues, increased metallic wear and tear, high operating temperatures and pressures, as well as increased run time. CRYOGENX4 is compatible with all types of refrigerants (including new low Global Warming Potential versions) and compressor oils. Once allowed time to fully “seat”, the technology is not affected by leaks or changing of refrigerants.

How the technology works

hvac services
01

Insulating stagnant oil quickly collects on the internal surfaces of the coils

02

In just a few years, heat transfer ability is diminished & refrigerant flow is slowed causing issues and robbing performance while increasing system operating costs

03

Oil is removed following CRYOGENX4 treatment and returned to the sump

04

Coil surfaces are activated to create a more thermo-conductive metal that exchanges heat faster while lasting for the remaining life of the system.

How It works and what you need to know

01

Oil migrates around seals in the compressor and mixes with refrigerant where it is carried throughout the system.

02

The migrating oil is attracted to the internal metallic surfaces where it quickly collects, creating an insulating barrier.

03

In just a few years, heat transfer ability is diminished and laminar flow is impeded. This causes issues and robs performance while increasing system operating costs.

04

When CRYOGENX4  is introduced into the system, the strongly polarized molecules break through the insulating oil, lifting it from the surfaces and returning it to the oil sump.

05

CRYOGENX4 stabilizes and activates the coil surfaces to create a more thermo-conductive metal that exchanges heat faster while lasting for the remaining life of the system.

06

Inside the compressor, CRYOGENX4  enhances the lubricity of the existing oil, reducing wear and tear on all the moving parts and reducing heat build-up inside the compressor.

A Multi-patented HVAC/R/HP Performance Enhancement Technology That’s Cost Effective

  • Invented and patented to improve thermal efficiency in all types of HVAC/R/HP systems.
  • Laboratory tested by DOE (FEMP), UL, Texas Oil Tech, NSF, and Electrolux Labs.
  • Dozens of successful third-party field tests conducted in all types of conditions on equipment ranging from 3,000-ton chillers down to a home refrigerator.
  • Tested as “fully compatible” with all prevalent refrigerants and lubricants (to include ammonia systems) by Texas Oil Tech Laboratories.
  • In heat pumps and other HVAC/R equipment, project paybacks average from 6-months to 2-years

Safe and effective technology

TRI-S has been in business for more than 25 years. Over that time, the Tri-S products have been tested safe and effective by top laboratories.

All TRI-S products are made in the USA using chemicals that occur abundantly in our environment and that are naturally safe for humans. Should a spill occur during the installation process, clean-up procedures are the same as for refrigerant oil as outlined in the TRI-S Material Safety Data Sheet (available upon request). All TRI-S products meet or surpass HVAC/R compatibility standards with all prevalent refrigerants and refrigerant lubricants on the market as of 31 December 2022.

All TRI-S products are manufactured in America under current International Organization for Standards (ISO) guidelines for repeatable quality. Following these stringent standards protects against defects or causing any type of adverse reactions within HVAC/R/HP systems.

Critical Specialized Testing Performed on the Technology

The ARI / ASHRAE four ball bearing test is designed to find the point at which a lubricant or surface science breaks down. During the test, downward pressure is applied to four ball bearings that are in motion until the bearings weld from friction. This test is important because it shows the superiority of the TRI-S product as a lubrication aid that drives performance improvements. In the Texas Oil Tech study performed on our products, within minutes of coating the metal ball bearings, the TRI-S product provided exponentially better lubricity than standard refrigerant oil – 4,900% to be exact. Better lubrication by sealing and protecting the metal surface and enhancing thermal transfer extends the life of equipment.

Validating Effectiveness Of The Solution

The IPMVP directs the measurement of four (4) key parameters of an HVAC/R/HP unit, while taking care to try and replicate as close as possible the outdoor air and internal return air temperatures directly at the unit in both the baseline and post periods.

Larger units also need to be measured with the same number of compressors running at the same load % (if the unit has variable speed compressors).

The 4 measurements include:

  • Power readings (volts and amps)
  • Air volume across the coils as measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)
  • Dry bulb delta between supply and return air temperatures (Delta-T) measured at the same point in baseline and post
  • Enthalpy delta using difference between wet bulb readings of supply and return air temperatures baseline and post

Testing Results Closely Mirror Ashrae Predicted Losses Over Time

Thermal Degradation in HVAC/R/HP Systems

Oil fouling of the heat transfer surfaces of air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration systems will cause a loss of about 5-7% efficiency in the equipment’s first year of use, 3-5% the second year, and 2% per year each subsequent year…

Scalable & Ready for Immediate Deployment

CRYOGENX4 can be installed quickly and easily into any size or type of HVAC/R/HP that has a suction port while it is running. TRI-S can arrange to do the installations, or we can train / certify company technicians to do them. DX systems are dosed and treated based on tonnage. TRI-S always maintains an inventory capable of treating more than 50,000 tons of cooling equipment. Since all the chemicals used in our patented formulations are readily available in America, supply chain problems are not an issue. We can exponentially expand our inventory in 3-4 weeks if necessary. CRYOGENX4 is guaranteed to produce rapid results by treating the inside of the cooling systems. However, to maintain those results over time, regular preventative maintenance needs to be performed on the equipment to keep it operating properly on the outside.
