PROTECTING CONDENSER COILS (bonus video)

This was a quick video I put together to show how we can protect condenser coils. These coating can extend the life and protect the condensers from salt and other corrosives that would otherwise corrode the coil. The coating I used in this video was Viper Coil Coating there will be a link below

Nick from Certified AC here on Maui. We use massive quantities of coil coating product out here in HI. The best one is called Action Clear. Developed in Australia. Can be used to coat coils, housings, and even PC boards.

[@gregmercil3968]

I lived in Huntington Beach a few years back, and I was about 4 miles from the ocean. Sometimes the salty air would reach that far, often times at night I could smell bonfire smoke and the smell of seaweed. I really do miss that cool ocean breeze, but I don’t miss the high cost of living there!

We use to put a heresite coating on unit coils that we installed around the gulf coast. We also use it on commercial equipment we installed in certain factories, paper mills and in areas that were prone to corrosion due to manufacturing chemicals. I saw this coating today at the parts house. Not sure how efficient it would be on an older unit.

[@AntonBabiy]

It would be interesting to have one coil coated and one uncoated on the same rooftop. I'm sure this stuff does some protection but it's hard to believe that aerosol can can coat the fins all the way. Great video as always, cheers for Canada!

That was a very thorough job you did. Start to finish. Looks very professional with a very nice install. Great job. I’m just curious the long run on how the product holds up. Since I was posting KZbin videos a while ago, I have moved from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania down to Florida so it’s a total different environment with humidity, bugs along with salty air so I am re-learning some of the industry down here at this time. Have a great day once again nice job.

That condenser should have been ordered with coating already applied considering the salty climate. Thxs for the vids!

[@gavincarstens6497]

Also most units are in commercial setups where either the cheapest option is chosen or supplied by the chain. And they wouldnt even be thinking of its protection coating or placement

[@davejohnsonnola2758]

Sadly due to corporate capital budgets and bidding processes, often the best option for equipment decisions does not translate to the bean counters.

[@The98deville]

When you have to clean the coil next time, do you need to re-apply the protectant?

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Yes it can i want to try that next

[@deanmohamed7575]

​@@HVACRVIDEOS Would be very interesting, but be careful, because the last time I tried to do that in an enclosed area like a walkin box, the manufacturer of the chemical(Diversitech) said that it is hazardous and flammable and not recommended for indoor use because a room filled with this in the air and a small spark can create an explosion. I chickened out and told them to replace the evaporator. Evaporator was already deteriorated and spitting a powdered material every where.

There is a product called hairasite I am not sure that I have spelled this product right, but you have to remove coils to apply it,s very good for high corrosive areas. There is a manufacturer that will apply the product when you order it. You may now about this product already.

Is there any jobs that you have used this/such a product, that now a few years old, that you have pictures of comparison? Was wondering how it works, Bec it's a coating, that I'm Guessing isn't metallic, and doesn't have as good heat transfer. I saw some company that was advertising to come down spray units with a graphite spray, to do similar task.

[@Freonleon]

Hot water ? Or coil cleaner steaming ?

[@simohvac9222]

thanks for all videos . can you clarify for me , when we triple vacuum we need to release all nitrogen out or need to left 2 psi and start the vacuum .

[@DavidHarsant1]

Just a question. Doesnt the coating affect the heat transfer rate?

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

If applied correctly it won't but if too much gets put on yes

[@benjaminmeyer479]

Do I need to clean the coils if they are brand new out of the box?

[@jennismith1443]

How long does that spray last for you in your location? Salts so hard on equipment, and I’m in a area where 75 inches of rain is average. A lot of work of ours is within 1-2 miles from the ocean. Do you think spraying that on every 1-2 years is too much? Equipment can start showing rust in less then a year. Thanks for the info !

Had lunch with an HVAC friend of mine yesterday, he started complaining about these micro channel coils which are becoming more common and much more maintenance demanding, hang on I thought, I know what he's talking about. We live in Adelaide, South Australia a city exposed to dusty and pollen laden strong desert North winds, conveniently sited along the coast of the Southern ocean. You have to wonder if a machine that can't clear it's own condenser of heavy rainfall without eventually faulting is really a good design. I guess that's progress, in laboratory tests micro channel probably works more efficiently, in the real world with real dust, real rain and salt hmmmmm.

[@gavincarstens6497]

The rain would literaly need to be always coming in sideways, with the motors blowing outwards its not really a concern even with heavy rainfall. Its only when your doing a clean where you disable the fans and thoughly soak the unit is it unable to clear the micro
