The Willis\u2019 research and development efforts produced a clear focus on problem areas and potential solutions for several major industries.<\/p><p>In the mid-1980s, they formed QMI, of Lakeland, Florida, where their formula development grew to include hydraulic, gear and pneumatic treatments beyond PTFE, to a wide range of fuel treatments and other industrial products. And in 2006, after successfully developing many popular products, and growing QMI immensely, they decided to sell to ITW.<\/p><p>Among Larrell and Dale\u2019s many formula developments was the idea for a PTFE-based technology to increase the efficiency of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The original concept focused on reducing friction in the compressor, removing system deposits, and adding a PTFE treatment to prevent further deposits. Early testing gave results much higher than anticipated on older equipment. This led to the understanding of the effect of lubricating oil break-down, the subsequent oil particle deposits on the metal surfaces throughout the system, and how this accumulation reduced the heat transfer ability of the system, now commonly known as oil fouling. As the unit ages, oil fouling builds up and degrades system efficiency. Further investigation suggested that as heat transfer increased, efficiency increased as well. And, over time, the Willis brothers developed and added a combination of micro\/nanopolymers which remain suspended in the system and greatly enhance system thermodynamics \u2013 both heat transfer and cold transfer. Many years of testing revealed a series of improvements that, when combined, today allows a significant increase in the efficiency of the unit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About us History of Cold-Plus In the mid-1970s, brothers Larrell and Dale Willis began developing PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) treatment formulas, taking advantage of the fact that&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_theme","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1885","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>About us - Cold-Plus Europe<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our mission is to facilitate the green revolution.
