HUSKY COIL COAT
DIP APPLICATION - Antique Bronze
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Husky Coil CoatDip is Bronz-Glows top of the line coating formulation to protect fin tube and coaxial
coils against the affects of severe corrosive environments. Its 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. Its 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-Glows dipping
process is exclusively applied by Bronz-Glows Certified and Licensed Dip Applicators.

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 coils 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:
Ease of application
Self rinsing (during cooling cycle)
High foaming
Disinfects while cleaning

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."
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.
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.
Chemical Plant Within 1000 Feet Of Long Island Sound and a Cogen Power Plant
(Natural Gas + Fuel Oil + Water + Comustion = H2S meaning Shortened Equipment Life
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. Ive 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."
