The Hidden Energy Loss inside HVACR Systems

Most HVACR efficiency solutions focus on what you can see—coils, airflow, and controls.  But a large portion of energy loss happens INSIDE the sealed refrigerant system, where traditional maintenance cannot reach.

Over time, HVACR and refrigeration systems lose efficiency due to:

  • Oil fouling on evaporator and condenser surfaces
  • Oil circulation coating internal metal walls
  • Increased friction inside compressors
  • Heat-transfer insulation caused by oil films

Even well-maintained systems slowly become less efficient, leading to higher energy consumption, longer compressor runtime, rising maintenance costs, and premature wear.

What Building Owners & Facilities Managers Want

As building owners and facility managers, you want:

  • Energy savings without replacing equipment
  • Solutions that work on existing HVACR systems
  • Lower compressor stress and fewer breakdowns
  • Reduced maintenance and extended equipment life
  • Fast ROI with minimal disruption

They need a solution that restores internal system efficiency, not just external performance.

MaxR100® — A Smarter Internal HVACR Efficiency Solution

MaxR100

MaxR100® is a refrigerant system performance enhancer designed to work inside the sealed HVACR and refrigeration circuit.

Introduced into the refrigerant or compressor oil loop, MaxR100 chemically interacts with internal metal surfaces to:

  • Remove oil fouling
  • Reduce internal friction
  • Restore heat-transfer efficiency
  • Lower compressor workload

Unlike coatings or mechanical retrofits, MaxR100 works during normal system operation, without system modification or replacement .

How MaxR100 Works

MaxR100 restores HVACR efficiency by addressing internal losses that external solutions cannot reach.

Internal Surface Rehabilitation

When injected into the system, MaxR100:

  • Bonds to internal metal surfaces
  • Lifts and releases oil fouling
  • Prevents oil from re-adhering to heat-exchange walls
  • Allows oil to return to the compressor sump

This restores clean, thermally active internal surfaces without flushing or disassembly.

Improved Internal Heat Transfer

Oil films act as thermal insulation.

By removing oil fouling:

  • Heat transfers more efficiently between refrigerant and metal
  • Evaporation and condensation improve
  • Less temperature lift is required from the compressor

The system reaches cooling capacity with lower energy input.

 Reduced Friction & Mechanical Losses

MaxR100 conditions internal metal surfaces to:

  • Reduce compressor friction
  • Lower mechanical resistance
  • Decrease electrical power draw

This results in quieter operation, lower amperage, and reduced mechanical stress.

Why Internal Efficiency Restoration Saves Energy

When internal heat transfer and mechanical efficiency improve:

  • Compressor runtime shortens
  • Discharge pressure and temperature drop
  • Electrical demand decreases
  • Cycling frequency reduces

Documented installations show:

  • Guaranteed minimum energy savings of ~10%
  • Typical savings of 10–30%, depending on system condition
  • Lower compressor amperage and improved humidity control

Many systems show noticeable improvements immediately, with full stabilisation over several weeks .

Why MaxR100 Complements Other HVACR Efficiency Solutions

MaxR100 addresses internal refrigerant-side inefficiencies, while solutions like:

  • Coil cleaning
  • Radiant+ heat-transfer coatings
  • Control optimisation

Address external and system-level efficiency.

Together, they form a complete HVAC energy-saving strategy, rather than competing solutions.
