What services does Hudson Technologies
provide to its customers?
Hudson Technologies is a leading provider of
innovative solutions to recurring problems
within the refrigeration industry. We
specialize in providing superior engineering
and chemistry know-how to improve the
operations of large comfort cooling and
process refrigeration systems by removing the
moisture, oils and other contaminants
frequently found in their refrigeration
circuits.
•
What are Hudson’s main operating divisions?
We market ours services through two main
divisions. Our RefrigerantSide® (“R-Side®”)
Services group – the company’s long-term
growth opportunity and profit driver – offers
an alternative to the antiquated methods still
being used by the industry to maintain and
operate large cooling systems. Our Refrigerant
Product Services (“RPS”) group sells
refrigerants and provides services, including
the recovery and reclamation of refrigerants
(e.g., freon) used in commercial AC and
refrigeration systems.

What is Performance Evaluation for a
Chiller?
Performance Evaluation is a detailed
engineering analysis of the actual performance
of the chiller system including the individual
components creating a snapshot of the actual
operation. Detailed thermodynamic system
analysis models are used to evaluate the
performance of the system. Performance
Evaluation results are presented in a
graphical manner and include: Chiller system
efficiency, Potential energy & cost savings,
Heat Exchanger performances, Compressor
performance, Electric motor, steam turbine,
gas-fired engine performance. Hudson
Technologies provides a performance evaluation
for any packaged chiller system using their
proprietary thermodynamic system models.
Alternatively, for a custom built chiller /
refrigeration system, Hudson Technologies can
develop a performance evaluation model that
predicts the operation and performance of the
system.

• What is ChillSMARTtm?
ChillSMARTtm is a
new product that is developed by Hudson
Technologies that offers both Chiller Chemistrytm
and Performance Evaluation as a Packaged
Approach. ChillSMARTtm includes: A
complete chemistry and engineering-based written
review that compares and correlates the
relationship between the fluid samples,
Performance evaluation results, An
interpretation report of the findings,
interrelationships and recommendations for
remedy and a certificate of analysis. To find
out more about ChillSMARTtm and view
a sample of results, please visit

What are the benefits of ChillSMARTtm?
Some major benefits that
result from the ChillSMARTtm approach
include: System optimization - better and
reliable system operation; Identification of
potential energy and cost savings and reduced
environmental emissions; Detailed information of
contaminants such as, oil, moisture, acid, non-condensables,
chlorides and specific particulate makeup in the
system; Base-lining and trending of chiller
performance over time and its relationship with
Chiller Chemistrytm; Avoided costs &
loss of revenues due to unplanned shutdowns for
equipment maintenance & repairs; Development of
a "Preventative & Predictive" approach lowering
current maintenance costs. Typically, for
facilities with multiple chiller systems, 20% of
the chiller systems result in 80% of the system
efficiency loss. ChillSMARTtm will
identify these units allowing the customer to
rectify the situation with minimal resources.
