Helps reduce Greenhouse Gases Lowers Electricity Consumption Decreases Energy Operational Costs
Whats The Problem Space? Compressor oil migration, which is unavoidable, impedes heat transfer capabilities that reduce energy efficiency Loss of energy efficiency of 7-8% the 1st year, 4-6% the 2nd year, and 2-4% each following year according to ASHRAE-1 This silent problem degrades every year requiring more kWh ($$$) to overcome inefficiency

company to do nothing or continue in a maintenance program incapable of adequately addressing this silent problem of inefficiency.
This problem is exacerbated by HVAC service industry
that either arent aware of the magnitude of this problem, are misled by OEM to marginalize it, or who simply refuse to act in the presence of even the slightest risk.

Over time, an oil layer forms on the heat exchanger wall creating an insulating layer that impedes heat transfer
Oil film buildup inhibits flow and can reduce the amount of refrigerant available
The efficiency of heat transfer is reduced by the oil layer causing your unit to operate longer to achieve the desired temp
The Solution:
Cooling Systems Energy Efficiency
PROATEQ contains highly polarized molecules that work synergistically with compressor oil to improve the performance of air conditioning and refrigeration systems by increasing the heat transfer capability. The highly polarized charge of the PROATEQ molecules attract the refrigerant to the surfaces of the heat exchangers, resulting in accelerated heat transfer

What is PROATEQ?
PROATEQ is a refrigerant oil additive that saves energy and equipment by increasing the efficiency of heat exchange systems and reducing equipment wear. Resolves the problem of compressor oil escaping out into the system. Using low viscosity non-particulate base oil for faster migration of polarized molecules, PROATEQ electro-statically bonds to the interior surfaces of the evaporator and condenser coils.

PROATEQ dislodges the insulating oil film & bonds electromagnetically to the surface
PROATEQ polarized molecule prevents oil film buildup and improves lubricity by over 75-85%
By returning the surface to a like new condition, heat is more easily transferred and run times are reduced

Risk Mitigation
Two key ways that we mitigate risks to our clients:
$1,000,000 Liability Policy from Georgetown Utilities manufacturer Ensateq and $500,000 Professional Liability Policy from Georgetown Utilities Georgetown Utilities guarantees to increase HVAC/R System capacity by a minimum of 10%; if unable to do so, will refund all money associated with that HVAC/R System
16
Risk Mitigation
These two SLAs shield plausible risks to prospective
clients. Georgetown Utilities has essentially isolated the client from any plausible risk.
Our CSEE Solution has been marketed nation-wide for
ten years with not one damage claim filed against Georgetown Utilities or our manufacturer ENSATEQ.
PROATEQ is insured by the Colony Insurance
