What is Condenser Coil??
If you are a responsible person for managing and maintaining HVAC system at your commercial or industrial place and are looking for the fastest, easiest way to clean your HVAC coils, then you've come to the right place. We’ll try to teach you about it…
Starting with what coils HVAC is consist of let us explain to you, HVAC system has two coils one is condenser coils and second is evaporator coils usually made of copper tubes with aluminum fins. The evaporator coil also known as indoor coil is often described as the "cold" coil because it provides indoor cooling. The coil works by absorbing heat from the indoor air that is blown over by the air handler's fan.
Now here comes a critical part of HVAC Maintenance, to maintain your HVAC system and make it work efficiently you have to understand few things : Starting with what coils HVAC is consist of let us explain to you, HVAC system has two coils one is condenser coils and second is evaporator coils usually made of copper tubes with aluminum fins.
- What is the Condenser Coil exactly?
The task of the air conditioner is to remove heat from the air and vent it outside. One of the components of an air conditioner that allows it to do this is the condenser coil. The condenser coil is part of your air conditioning system, located inside the condensing unit. If you have a split system; the condensing unit is the outdoor part of your system.If you have a package or rooftop system, then the condensing unit is only part of the outdoor unit.
- Why Clean Condenser Coils?
Condenser coils are highly prone to dirt and dust buildup. Over time, this build up can lead to major inefficiencies and even damage to your air conditioning unit.
- What are the Benefits of Cleaning Condenser Coils?
Cleaning the condenser coils of an air conditioning system can be beneficial in several ways, including:
- Increase HVAC operating efficiency
- Extend equipment life
- Improve indoor air quality
- Save money
- What happens if a Condenser Coils are not cleaned?
- Dirty HVAC coils can increase energy consumption by approximately 37%.
- When a coil is dirty, it can no longer provide the designed heat transfer, causing higher discharge pressure and increased energy usage. This leads to increased utility costs.
- When the coils are dirty, the compressor needs to work harder, which adds excessive heat to the system and can result in a loss of up to 30% of the system’s cooling capacity.
- Dirty coils create a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, directly affecting the air quality of your building.
- The increased workload, operating pressures, and temperatures dirty coils cause can significantly shorten the life of your HVAC equipment. Replacing a compressor is a fairly expensive repair.
Why spend all this money when you could have avoided the problem with preventive maintenance?
