Introduction

• Background
• Shrieve based in Texas Private owned, est. 1978
• Major business in refrigeration oils and air
  conditioning treatments
• Leading supplier of Alkyl Benzenes
• Shrieve offer a range of ZEROL AB, ESTER and PAG
  synthetic refrigeration oils to industry
• Full supply service to EMEA region, including
  advanced customer and logistics service
• Technical development laboratory based in USA
• Partnerships in US, Asia and Europe to develop
  and commercialise new lubricant products

• USA Initial Market Development
• Zerol ICE is an oil enhancer for HVAC use
• Introduced to USA market in 2002
• Laboratory and field testing undertaken late 2002
• Zerol ICE was introduced to USA market in 2002
• Immediate impact at initial test sites
• High demand for further test product
• USA agreement with Nu-Calgon to market to HVAC
• Extended to national coverage early 2003

• What is it?
• Added to AC oil on existing and new systems
• Fully compatible with all HVAC lubricants
• Increases lubrication effectiveness and heat
  transfer rates
• Forms film on internal surfaces to resist
  corrosion
• Bio-degradable and environmentally safe
• Does NOT contain chlorinated acid forming
  compounds
• Single application dose 125 ml / 15 kW output
• In liquid form easily injected
• Fast 5 10 minutes to apply

• Customer Benefits
• Superior heat exchange properties increase
  evaporator cooling capacity
• Increased lubrication efficiency reduces system
  compressor power consumption
• Reduced noise - particularly at start up
• Lower friction reduces compressor wear and
  extends compressor life
• High detergency action maintains clean systems
  and prevents sludge formation
• Improved seal performance reduces gas leakage

Unique Highly Effective Product

What does Zerol ICE do?
The improved hydrodynamic or fluid property of
the oil results in less oil layering on the
evaporators inner tube surface, yielding gains
in heat transfer or cooling

• Improved lubricity
• Reduced friction drag
• Reduced energy use
• Quieter operation
• Longer equipment life
• Improved cooling

Comparative Testing
Fixed Scroll

• Comparative tests on identical new systems
• 6 Scroll Technologies 34,000 btu/hour compressors
  1.06 litres of alkylbenzene oil
• 6 Copeland 24,000 btu/hour reciprocating
  compressors 1.33 litres of mineral oil
• 3 of each type tested as received
• 3 had Zerol ICE added to existing oil
• Zerol ICE Concentration of 30 ml/12,000 btu/hr
• Tests run continuously for 500 hours
• Oil was tested and compressors cut apart for
  inspection and photographs

Field Testing Energy Savings
Testing
Energy Saving

• Zerol ICE was placed in well over thirty
  residential systems, 7- 18 kW, 230 volts
• Equipment from various manufacturers (York,
  Lennox, Carrier, etc.)
• Various compressors (Copeland, Bristol,
  Alliance-Scroll)
• Running amps as well as high and low side
  pressure readings were measured
• Outside temperatures for 22 averaged 23oC and
  14oC for the other 12
• Reductions of 0.4 amps to 5.1 amps
