SynCat360 is an advanced synthetic catalyst that enhances HVAC compressor performance by breaking down oil particles and restoring viscosity. It features two catalysts: one removes oil fouling to keep heat exchange surfaces clean, and the other accelerates refrigerant heat absorption for faster setpoint achievement and energy savings. Additionally, nanoparticles fill cracks and bond to refrigerant lines and coils, extending equipment life by preventing leaks and degradation.

Oil fouling occurs when oil from the compressor in HVAC and refrigeration systems coat the inner surfaces of heat exchangers. This layer of oil acts as an insulating barrier, reducing the efficiency of heat transfer between the refrigerant and the air or water being cooled. The negative effects of oil fouling include increased energy consumption, as the system has to work harder to achieve the desired cooling effect. This leads to higher operational costs and can also shorten the lifespan of the equipment due to the added strain on the compressor and other components. Additionally, oil fouling can result in uneven cooling, which may affect the quality and safety of stored products in commercial and industrial applications. Regular maintenance and the use of technologies designed to mitigate oil fouling can help maintain optimal system performance and energy efficiency.
