Savings Mechanism
The actual savings mechanism is not the reduction of amperes that the compressor's electric motor uses while running, but the fact that the removal of the oil fouling, the lower refrigerant evaporation temperature, and the lubricity increases make the system 16% (chillers) to 20% (air units) more efficient; causing colder supply air (or faster chiller water cool down) resulting in the equipment running 16% to 20+% less.
When the equipment is not running 16% to 20% of the time, it is not using electricity; and while not running, there are no maintenance labor and parts needs accruing resulting in a 16% to 20% annual savings in maintenance and parts and labor, plus the equipment will last 16% to 20% longer since it is running 16% to 20% less.
