ELX Technologies Information

ELX Technologies promote the prevention of HVAC thermal degradation. In simple language, we help save energy and money. ELX products assist in reversing the losses in energy efficiencies and capacities by lowering run-time and stress on HVAC equipment, thus, helping extend the life of the equipment. The ELX product line has an average return-on-investment of less than 2 years. A.S.H.R.A.E. has studied the problem of thermal degradation. Within the first five years of a system’s life, efficiency degrades up to 30%. Thermal degradation prevents the equipment from operating at the original design efficiency leading to longer run times and additional kWh consumption. Below are some of the problems that ELX Technologies can solve: - Oil fouling in condenser coils; this oil build-up degrades equipment immediately and accounts for up to 25 percent energy loss - Exterior condenser coil degradation; high tech coil coating protects the exterior surfaces making them easier to clean and improves thermal conductivity - Loss of efficiency/improved conductivity in closed water systems; new additive replaces Glycol, which decreases thermal transfer, and actually increases heat transfer much better than water - Bio fouling in water systems; water filtration removes suspended particles down to a sub-micron level, thus protecting cooling towers and heat exchangers to their best efficiency - Excess heat on rooftop units that stress HVAC equipment; high tech ceramic coating dramatically dissipates heat to lower temperatures of building structures and air intake of air conditioning systems - Biological growth, scaling and corrosion; new water treatment system provides an innovative, commercial technology to condition cooling tower water better and faster without the use of toxic chemicals ELX Technologies will not only stop the degradation, but in most cases, reverse the losses in efficiencies and capacities.
