With a view to offering the Sythetic Refrigerant Catalyst from Power Knot to its customers, ASI jointly conducted a proof of performance on an air conditioning unit at their headquarters in San Jose. Power Knot treated the system with its Synthetic Refrigerant Additive. We measured an increase in efficiency (and corresponding reduction in energy usage) of over 12%.

This air conditioning system was made by Trane.

During our evaluation, we experienced warmer weather after treatment than before treatment:

This warmer weather resulted in greater power being used:

Our analysis showed that the warmer weather accounted for 2.8% of the increase in power, so the net increase in power was 4%:

The warmer weather increased the load in the room being cooled, so the a/c system had to do more work. After treatment, the a/c system performed better by 16.7% based on calculating the enthalpy:

The net effect is an increase in efficiency of over 12%.
