FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. What happens in a warehouse environment if the tubes don't ever see a 3 degree F delta?
Every warehouse defrosts the coils at various times throughout the day-typically, one coil goes into defrost and that heat load will show the tubes require a 3 degree F delta necessary to start the release process. In defrost the tubes very quickly release the energy that it has absorbed in a different wave length. The released wavelengths seek warmth-which typically is a coil in defrost or lights if there is no coil around.

2. As tubes age and are continually charged and emptied, do they loose any efficiencies in their performance?
They do not lose any performance efficiencies over time. Each tube is leased for a ten year period. After the ten year period, the tubes are brought back to our factory to be re-calibrated and inserted back into circulation.

3. A 10'L x 3" diameter tube weights 36 lbs, what does a fully saturated tube weight?
A fully saturated 10'L tube weights 46 lbs.

4. My freezer environment is very condensed-where do you place the tubes?
The tubes have minimal space requirements. They can be hung in the rafters, placed under the coolers/freezers, placed along the walls. They do not need to be hung in one area--they can be spread out over the environment.
