Increases efficiency of evaporators by 73%!
Lowers the boiling point of all refrigerants!
Compatible with all oils!
With results like these Trane and York will be using by next week, assuming all is as presented.

Do I detect some sarcasm per chance?

It is a scam. I didn't find in ASHRAE handbook that efficiency of the plant will be reduced year after year.
If it is real energy savings, people should show the estimation (numbers) to compare before and after. Instead we see many questionable customers and chemical analyses of the oil.

Most of these gimmics end up causing other system problems.

Wonder where the carbon & sludge disappear to.

[Goober]

Don't disagree with anything said so far...

[Segei]

Many people look for magic solutions of energy saving issue. However, the best way to save energy is optimization(design or/and operation) of the refrigeration plant.

I agree, I see that this topic has been covered in other threads with the same results.
