Corroded Coils |

Coastal air conditioning
condenser coils can be severely damaged from environmental salt fog.
Corrosion accelerates the early demise of coils, sometimes ruining
the entire coil after only a years’ worth of service. By that
time, the entire coil is so deteriorated that little heat transfer
occurs. Users, usually commercial properties, see the effects of corroded
coils by paying higher and higher energy bills. Ownership costs go
out the roof. Replacing the coil becomes expensive for materials and
labor costs. Often, equipment downtime for repairs means the loss of
air-conditioned space.

Solutions
to prevent premature coil failure are varied. The most common technique
is to coat the coils with some type of an epoxy or polymer coating.
Most treatments require the coil being shipped to an outside location,
where it is dipped or sprayed with a special coating. Treatment and
shipment contributes substantially to the cost of the coil, and then
when it is shipped to the user, the coil must be reinstalled, another
expense.
In these cases, delays can add weeks to the unit being put into
service.

Weatherproof Coil Shield (WCS) is an advanced
technology developed by our R&D laboratory. Independent studies
in an accelerated weathering chamber (salt spray, UV light exposure,
heat, industrial chemical exposure) indicated WCS treated coils to
perform for 4,000 hours. Tests were stopped at that point. Anyone can
easily apply WCS in a matter of minutes to coils, and save expensive
coil replacement and energy consumption due to decreased efficiency
of corroded coils. |
