HUSKY COIL COAT
DIP APPLICATION - Antique Bronze

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Husky Coil Coat—Dip is Bronz-Glow’s top of the line coating formulation to protect fin tube and coaxial
coils against the affects of severe corrosive environments. It’s a rugged, abrasion resistant finish which ex-
hibits extraordinary tensile strength and flexibility; allowing it to expand and contract with a coil as it heats
and cools. Husky Coil Coat protects in the entire pH Range of (1.0 to 14.0). It will not crack, chip or flake.
This unique proprietary coating formulation forms a moisture resistant barrier that prevents the intrusion of
contaminated moisture which causes coil failure. Husky Coil Coat has less than ½ of 1% degradation on
heat transfer efficiency. It’s a “single-component” coating product that can be field repaired by equipment
owners; with aerosol touch-up, should the coating become damaged or abraded. Gas Chromatography Test
(FID) reveal no evidence of residual solvent vapors. Husky Coil Coat Dip and Bronz-Glow’s dipping
process is exclusively applied by Bronz-Glow’s Certified and Licensed Dip Applicators.

ENVIRONMENTS WHERE COMMONLY USED:


Coastal regions, sugar refineries, petroleum refineries, paper mills, chemical plants, off shore drill platforms,
waste water treatment plants, tunnel exhaust systems, veterinary clinics, swimming pool environments, food
processing and storage facilities, airports, fossil fuel power plants, hospitals, restaurants, marine applications,
medical facilities, saw mills, convention centers, hotels & motels, shopping malls and many other moderate to
severe corrosive environments.

ATMOSPHERIC CHEMICAL RESISTANCE:


Salt air, salt water, acid rain, hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen
chloride, sulfur water, uric acid and virtually any other acid or alkali.

DIP COATING VERSES SPRAY COATING:


Bronz-Glow’s dip coating process ensures the coil is completely immersed guaranteeing 100% coating cover-
age. Spray application on 1 and 2 row coils that have plate fins and a fin density of 16 fpi or less can be effec-
tively spray coated. Coils that are designed with 3 or more rows in depth or are constructed with plat or en-
hanced fins at 17 fpi or above, become much more difficult to assure 100 % coating coverage.
Factory dip coating services are available through Bronz-
Glow Technologies, Inc. and our growing family of
Bronz-Glow Partners known as Certified Applicators and
Manufacturer’s Representatives.
Dip coatings are often specified in Gov’t Specifcations
such as the U.S Navy, Army Corps of Engineers, Home-
land Security, and NASA. Bronz-Glow also appears in
SPECSINTACT and new unified specification for vari-
ous Branches of the U.S. Governent.

EVAP-ZAP
EVAPORATOR COIL CLEANER W/BIOCIDE

DESCRIPTION: A high foaming aerosol coil cleaner designed specifically for cleaning residential evaporator
coils. Packaged in an easy to manage 8oz. aerosol can with a 20” tube that allows service personnel to access hard
to reach areas without removing the coil. During the ‘Cooling Cycle’ Evap-Zap is rinsed from the coil by its own
condensate. During the ‘Heating Cycle’ a fresh water rinse is required. The powerful foaming action of Evap-
Zap quickly penetrates the finned face area of the coil, removing dirt, grime and mildew. It is recommend that the
u-bend and header ends of the coil also be cleaned. The biocide disinfects the coil’s surface, eliminating most
molds and bacteria that tend to thrive in a cool, moist environment. Evap-Zap aids in keeping drain lines clean and
is also used to clean automobile evaporator coils by extending the 20” tube into the condensate drain pipe. Again,
the condensate from the ‘Cooling Cycle’ will self rinse the coil.

BENEFITS:

Maintenance Kit
DESCRIPTION: Bronz-Glow’s Maintenance Kit contains the same materials used in
our factory coating applications. These materials are designed for coating repairs in the
event of coating damage, which could occur during transportation or installation. Bronz-
Glow’s offers a standard maintenance kit which contains a coil cleaner, primer and two
(2) cans of the appropriate coil coating material. However, we also offer special packag-
ing requirements such as if the cabinets were coated on a project.

When used in conjunction with Bronz-Glow’s recommended coil cleaning maintenance


program, a Bronz-Glow coated coil will provide years of trouble free service. After each
cleaning, the service technician should examine the coil’s face area and look for any signs
of coating abrasion. The most common area for coating abrasion occurs on the outside
leading fin edge. Should any abrasion be evident, contents of the kit allow technicians to
make repair of the affect area. If modifications to equipment piping are required, the
product allows for corrosion protection of the repaired areas.

Bronz-Glow has and will continue to be proponents of good preventative maintenance


programs for coated or un-coated coils. It has been proven that when coils are cleaned
and properly maintained, they remain much more efficient. However, use of harsh acidic
and alkaline coil cleaning agents can do as much to affect a coils integrity as if you did
nothing at all. Bronz-Glow also does not believe fresh water rinses constitute a proper
P&M program. Call us if you have any questions.

Easy to follow instructions are printed on each product. However, should someone have
questions, they can contact our Technical Support Staff at (800) 555-6385 or via e-mail at
[email protected] regarding proper application of the products. Free to
Bronz-Glow’s customers is the “Owner’s Coated Coil Cleaning & Maintenance Man-
ual”.

BENEFITS:
Allows for proper maintenance of the coating during normal P&M Programs.
Easy to use aerosol products for coils and cabinet coating.
Quick drying products which allow for almost immediate equipment start-up.
Extends equipment service life.

HUSKY COIL GUARD
A BIODEGRADABLE, ALKALINE COIL CLEANER
DESCRIPTION: Coil Guard is a highly concentrated surfactant cleaner that removes dirt,
grime, oil, insect residue and airborne deposited corrosives without damaging aluminum
and/or copper coils. Coil Guard is an effective cleaning solution that does not etch or at-
tack a coils alloy or coating (if coated). A safe to use cleaning system that on contact; does
not burn or irritate an applicators skin. This is a coil cleaner that when applied, its foaming
action creates longer vertical surface contact time for improved cleaning results. Formu-
lated of deep penetrating surfactants, it reduces the surface tension of water, allowing it to
saturate soils, lifting them from the coil’s surface when rinsed.

Case Studies
Crystal River Energy Complex: Power Plant On The Gulf Coast
The Crystal River Energy Complex is a literal city unto itself. With both nuclear and coal-
fired electrical production, the complex includes 5 facilities on the Gulf coast of Florida,
north of Tampa-St. Petersburg. They are right on the coast, so salt water, along with coal
dust and other corrosives are a constant problem for their HVAC/R equipment.

Up until a few years ago, Crystal River did not specify any special coating for their units.
They were constantly repairing or replacing units due to problems caused by the corro-
siveness of the environment. As Jim Cole, HVAC Tech tells it, they began to hear about
Bronz-Glow from HVAC techs, contractors, and wholesale companies they dealt with.
"Bronz-Glow was highly-recommended by them all, especially Tampa Bay Trane, who we
ordered our units through."

In 2002 they replaced an 89-ton chiller unit in their Number 5 Precipitation Room, the
industry name for a room with breakers and high-voltage electrostatic filters. These are the
filters that remove impurities from the air, and they must be kept cool or they will over-
heat rapidly, causing a chain reaction of problems. "We also replaced a 50-ton chiller at
our CR-4 Administration building, and 2 30-ton DX systems at their 480 Switch Gear
Room. We coated all of these with Bronz-Glow.

"For some reason we weren't able to coat a 120-ton chiller in our Control Room or an-
other 105-ton chiller at our Electric Shop. Both of these are less than three years old and
already are falling apart from the corrosion." They plan to replace a 100-ton chiller system
at their CR-3 Admin Building next year. Will they specify Bronz-Glow? "I'm very happy
with Bronz-Glow. This chiller unit has needed replacing for several years I don't want
the new one to wear out from all the corrosion like the old one did. I recommended they
get Bronz-Glow on it as well."

Double the Life of an A/C Unit?


The first Island of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel sees some of the harshest weather on the bay.” “Out
here, it’s like being in the middle of the ocean.” “Bronz-Glow has helped us double the life of our mechanical
equipment in this corrosive environment” stated Dick Denniston, Maintenance Superintendent for the Chesa-
peake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Bronz-Glow was first introduced to Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Personnel by Mr. Roger Shull with Damuth Trane
Services more than 12 years ago. Mr. Phil Damuth is now the Damuth Trane point of contact. Damuth Trane Services
has been a Bronz-Glow Representative since 1993.

Bronz-Glow began coating


equipment for the Cheseapeake
Bay Bridge Tunnel in 1994.

Construction on the Bay Bridge tunnel began on September 7th, 1960. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel opened to traf-
fic on April 15th, 1964 and it is often called an engineering wonder of the modern world.

One of the "Seven Engineering Wonders of the World," the bridge connects Delmarva with Virginia Beach. The bridge
is 17.6 miles long in water up to 100 feet deep and the bridge goes underwater into tunnels twice. It cost $450,000,000 to
build. The man-made islands that serve as entrances and exits to the tunnels are made up of 34,000 carloads of rocks,
some of which weigh as much as 64,000 pounds. Each contains 3,000,000,000 pounds of sand and 600,000,000 pounds
of rock. They cost $625,000 per acre, some of the most expensive real-estate on Earth.

The continuous salt and petrochemical atmosphere, along with acidic vapors and
other corrosives, caused rapid deterioration of equipment and the need to prema-
turely replace HVAC/R equipment due to corrosion. New units with uncoated cop-
per tube/aluminum fin coils began showing discoloration and surface corrosion
immediately, and within 5-6 years would be totally deteriorated with fins falling off.
This, in spite of regularly scheduled inspections, coil cleaning and equipment main-
tenance.

The company had used baked phenolic coating in the past, but it flaked off with
age. Also, they could not do effective repairs of the damaged baked phenolic coat-
ing in the field. 1n 1993-1994, the company built a new office/shop/maintenance
building requiring six new AC units installed. All six were Trane AC units from 10-
30 tons.

The Project Engineer on staff did some research to find a superior coating for the
new units, one that met their criteria and was within the allocated costs for the pro-
ject. After researching their options, the Project Engineer, along with the company's
HVAC Master Technician, recommended Bronz-Glow. The company performs
the scheduled maintenance as before, including complete quarterly operational tests
and inspections. However, now they use the high-surfactant Bronz-Glow Husky
Coil Cleaning System. To date they have seen no deterioration on the coils over a
10-year period.

Their HVAC Master Technician adds, "We've never had to do any touchup on the coils since they were installed. We even had a
big hailstorm a few years ago that bent the fins on the condenser coils, but none of the Bronz-Glow came off. In my experience, a
more rigid coating such as the baked phenolic coatings we used in the past, would have not withstood this without chipping or
cracking. I’ve been surprised at how well Bronz-Glow has performed here. For our units to have lasted ten years in this environ-
ment is incredible... and they're still running strong."

Another Bronz-Glow Success Story


The Carrier air conditioning units pictured here were originally coated back in Septem-
ber of 1994. They are 10+ years old and in excellent working condition. The coils are
intact and have not deteriorated. Bronz-Glow’s Husky Coil Coat was applied as a dip
coating application.
These units are located on the beach front side of A1A, which runs parrell with the At-
lantic Ocean. They are located less than 300 yards from the ocean and along side A1A.
With a little bit of touch-up, they could provide a few more years of service. It’s un-
heard of that you get 10 + years of active life from an air conditioning unit so close to
the Atlantic Ocean. This Bell South case study was completed in October of 2004.
Once again, Bronz-Glow is called to active duty. In January of 2004, this Dunham-
Bush unit was coated for a Bell South Project in South Florida.
