Air Conditioner Test with IceCOLD Reveals Higher Efficiency, Higher Capacity and Lower Humidity - Remarkable!

   In a series of tests lasting 71 days, this couple achieved their goals with IceCOLD catalysts improving all aspects of their cooling system's performance.  We will call them Cole and Donna.  Cole had read of IceCOLD and wanted to see how it would work in his Topeka home.  As a mechanical engineering graduate from Kansas State, the best kind, he understood the underlying processes, but wanted to try it for himself.

  Humidity - As the testing began we not only noticed, but Donna pointed out, the high humidity in the home.  We saw that it was well over 60%.  When we returned two months later, we verified humidity levels in the home had dropped well into the low 40% range.

  Efficiency - During initial testing we found the compressor's gross efficiency at 90 degrees to be 9.6 EER.  As testing was concluded, the efficiency was measured at 12.6 EER.  This is an impressive gain of 31%.

  Capacity - The nine year old unit was observed to have a dry bulb capacity of 43,000 Btu at the same 90 degrees.  At the time of our follow-up testing, the capacity had increased to 53,000 Btu.  This is a gain of 23%.
