Articmaster Refrigerant Management System

Refrigerant Management System

introduces the

Energy efficiency from the power of the vortex

ArticMasterTM

Energy Efficiency

Minimum 20% for

air cooled systems

Minimum 8% to 12%

for water cooled

systems

Product Description• Suitable for almost all types of air-conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump systems (Centrifugal Chillers are an exception)

• Suitable for all refrigerants, including synthetics

• 10kW to 1000kW plus Systems

• Installed by trained & accredited technicians using detailed Installation Procedures

• A Warranty Form can be supplied with every installation

Product Description

Achieves Energy Efficiency with:

• Reciprocal, Screw & Scroll compressors

• DX or Electronic Expansion devices

• Air & water cooled systems

Product Attributes 1System works by:

• Lowering head and suction pressure

• Lowering the supply air or water temperature

• Reducing compressor Amp draw

• Allows the System to act as a variable Condenser Control

Product Attributes 2• Worldwide Patented Technology

• No moving parts and is virtually maintenance free

• Requires no energy source and reduces carbon emissions

• Significant Carbon Footprint reduction

• Extends compressor and system life

• Reusable within specification

• Minimum forty year life

Articmaster causes creation of “wetter” refrigerant

Vortical flow formed here

Vortical flow “pumps” refrigerant through TX valve eliminating the possibility of flash gas
