ACID-AWAY®
Compressor Burnout Acid Neutralizer
U. S. Patent No. 5,503,757

Description | Characteristics | Applications | Packaging | Instructions | Precautions | Specifications | LimitedWarranty

DESCRIPTION:


ACID-AWAY® provides a unique approach to help prevent compressor burnouts by effectively removing the acid buildup that occurs in refrigeration oils used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It is a safe and easy to use treatment for both hermetic and semi-hermetic compressors of virtually any size that operate with mineral or alkylbenzene type refrigeration oils. For systems that operate on Polyol Ester lubricants, use ACID-AWAY® FOR POE.

ACID-AWAY® has been tested in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standards 86-1983 and 97-1989, various ASTM standards and has been proven to be highly effective in extensive field testing evaluations in a wide variety of compressor sizes, types, brands and severity of burnout conditions.

CHARACTERISTICS:


  • Compatible with all common compressor materials of construction, internal system components, mineral oil and alkylbenzene refrigeration oils.
  • Eliminates costly multiple oil changes performed to dilute the acid content of the refrigeration oil
  • Removes residual acid normally left behind in the system after a compressor burnout occurs which can cause a subsequent compressor burnout of the new compressor
  • Minimizes costly service call backs due to repeat compressor failures caused by acid
  • Suitable for preventative maintenance use to help avoid compressor burnouts resulting from the buildup of corrosive acids inside refrigeration systems
  • Can be used to treat recovery, recycling and reclaiming units in order to protect them from attack caused by acid fouled refrigerants and oils
  • Eliminates the need for flushing systems with solvents or other similar products in an attempt to remove residual acids

    APPLICATIONS:


    ACID-AWAY® may be used to neutralize the residual acid that remains in a refrigeration or air conditioning system after a compressor burnout has occurred and a new compressor has been installed.

    ACID-AWAY® may be used for preventative maintenance in operating refrigeration and air conditioning systems where acid buildup is detected, but a compressor changeout is not yet needed.

    ACID-AWAY® may be used in virtually any size hermetic or semi-hermetic compressor that utilizes mineral oil or alkylbenzene type of refrigeration oils.

    ACID-AWAY® may be used in recovery, recycling and reclaiming equipment to neutralize the acid found in old recaptured refrigerants and refrigeration oils.
