Proven Technology for Restoring HVAC System Performance
ThermaClear® is a scientifically validated HVAC treatment engineered to address one of the most persistent and costly sources of system inefficiency: oil fouling Unlike external maintenance or controls-based solutions, ThermaClear® operates inside the system to restore heat-transfer efficiency and reduce internal mechanical wear while the equipment remains in service.
The Problem: Internal Efficiency Loss You Cannot Clean Away
All vapor-compression HVAC systems rely on oil to lubricate the compressor. Over time, a portion of this oil migrates throughout the system and adheres to internal heat-exchange surfaces.
This process—known as oil fouling—creates an insulating film that:
Reduces heat-transfer efficiency
Forces longer runtimes and higher energy consumption
Increases internal wear and mechanical stress
Accelerates long-term performance degradation
Unlike dirt on condenser coils, oil fouling occurs inside sealed components and cannot be removed through cleaning, flushing, or mechanical adjustment.
It is unavoidable—and cumulative.
How ThermaClear® Works
ThermaClear® is a proprietary nano-fluid formulation designed to interact at the molecular level.
Reduces oil fouling by preventing oil adhesion to heat-transfer surfaces
Restores thermal conductivity, improving heat exchange efficiency
Reduces internal wear by improving lubrication inside the compressor
Once installed, ThermaClear® delivers persistent performance benefits without altering system operation or controls.
What ThermaClear® Is — and Is Not
What it is
- A permanent solution
- Compatible with all common refrigerants and oils
- Applied without system shutdown or modification
- Compatible with all major OEM Chiller, DX Systems
What it isn’t
- A coating
- A cleaning agent
- A temporary additive
- A control or monitoring device
It does not mask inefficiency—it addresses it at the source.
Measured Performance Impact
ASHRAE recognizes that oil fouling results in:
Reduces heat-transfer efficiency
Reduces heat-transfer efficiency
Reduces heat-transfer efficiency
ThermaClear® interrupts this degradation cycle by restoring internal heat transfer and stabilizing system performance. The result is:
System Compatibility & Safety
ThermaClear as been independently tested, validated, and certified for compatibility with:
All major refrigerants
All common refrigerant oils
DX systems, split systems, and chillers
Installation is non-invasive and performed by trained professionals within ECM Technologies’ Preferred Service Network.
