WHAT ARE FRIGI-TECH'S LIMITATIONS?

Consistent, long-term, cost effective benefits associated with FRIGI-TECH treatments are possible when the operation and maintenance of the refrigeration or air conditioning systems follow established industry practices. Systems that are operated and maintained properly will receive the greatest benefit.

The water content of a refrigeration oil is an important variable (with or with out FRIGI-TECH) in refrigeration systems because water can hydrolyze with refrigerant and form strong corrosive acids. If the water content of a refrigeration oil is greater than 200 ppm there are serious system problems (an internal water leak, for example) that FRIGI-TECH cannot fix. It is the industry standard to operate with no more than 120 ppm water in the oil.

Systems that operate with more than 120 ppm water should not be treated with FRIGI-TECH because the additives will not perform as well, nor last as long under these conditions. Properly operating refrigeration and air conditioning systems treated with FRIGI-TECH will receive the greatest benefit and the highest return on investment.

An oil analysis should be performed prior to treatment to insure that water concentrations are acceptable and that maximum benefits can be obtained.
