Advantages of applying anti-corrosion treatment to condenser and air cooler coil in harsh environment

Anti-corrosion treatment of heat exchange coils is an additional investment, but it is strongly recommended to install them in coastal areas, industrial places with chemical fumes or polluted environments.

The standard coil consists of copper tubes and aluminum fins. This different metal pair will produce electroplating corrosion when it comes into contact with sea salt, moisture or chemicals suspended in the air. Without protection, aluminum fins begin to degrade in 2-3 years in high salinity coastal environment. Over time, there will be stinging, material loss and refrigerant leakage caused by pipe drilling.

Anti-corrosion treatment includes applying a polymer coating on the entire surface of pipes and fins. This coating acts as a physical barrier between metals and environmental corrosive agents. According to the test of xindacool, the service life of heat exchange coil can be increased by 2.5 times by anti-corrosion treatment in high salinity environment.

One small side effect must be considered: the coating increases the minimum thermal resistance. The thermal efficiency loss of the treated coil is between 2% and 4%. This is a very modest reduction in exchange for a substantial extension of the durability of the equipment. This small volume discount has been regarded as the technical specification of factory processing equipment.

There are three main scenarios that are strongly recommended for anti-corrosion treatment: coastal areas less than 3 kilometers away from the ocean, industrial areas that emit acidic or alkaline smoke, and food processing plants that are often cleaned with salt gas or chemicals. Treatment is not strictly necessary for normal indoor environment or mainland areas far from the ocean.
