Condenser Coil Options and Coating
Considerations
The standard coils on the Trailblazer
™
chiller are an all
aluminum alloy microchannel design with a series of flat
tubes containing multiple, parallel flow microchannels layered
between the refrigerant manifolds. The microchannel coils are
designed to withstand 1000+ hour acidified synthetic sea water
fog (SWAAT) test (ASTM G85-02) at 120°F (49°C) with 0% fin
loss and develop no leaks.
Should the standard microchannel coil not meet the corrosion
requirements for the application, additional coil options are
available.
Aluminum fin/copper tube coils
consist of 3/8 inch (10 mm)
seamless copper tubes mechanically bonded into plate-type
aluminum fins. The fins have full drawn collars to completely
cover the tubes. The aluminum fin/copper tube option is best
suited for non-corrosive environments, and can be repaired
onsite. This option is only available for models AGZ030-070E.

BlackFin
™
coils include aluminum fins pre-coated with a
durable phenolic epoxy coating. In addition to providing a
durable coating on the fin material, the BlackFin
™
coils provide
and epoxy barrier between the aluminum fin stock and the
copper tube, to prevent the galvanic corrosion that can occur
between the dissimilar metals. This option will provide a 1000+
hour salt spray rating per ASTM B117-90. The BlackFin
™
option provides enhanced protection in mildly corrosive
environments. This option is only available for models AGZ030-
070E.
Copper-fin coils
consist of 3/8 inch (10 mm) seamless copper
tubes mechanically bonded into plate-type copper fins. The fins
have full drawn collars to completely cover the tubes. Since
the fin and the tube materials are similar, the opportunity for
galvanic corrosion is eliminated. The copper fin/copper tube
option may be used in marine environments; however this
option is not well suited for industrial or chemical atmospheric
contamination. This option is only available for models
AGZ030-070E.
ElectroFin
®
coil coating is a water-based extremely flexible
and durable epoxy polymer coating uniformly applied to all
coil surfaces through a multi-step, submerged electrostatic
coating process. ElectroFin
®
condenser coils provide a 5000+
hour salt spray resistance per ASTM B117-90, applied to both
the coil and the coil frames. The ElectroFin
®
coated coils also
receive a UV-resistant urethane top-coat to provide superior
resistance to degradation from direct sunlight. This coil coating
option provides the best overall protection against corrosive
marine, industrial or combined atmospheric contamination.
This coating option may be applied to any of the untreated coil
options offered, to provide excellent longevity and resistance to
corrosion.

NOTE:
1. Non-corrosive environments may be estimated by the
appearance of existing equipment in the immediate area
where the chiller is to be placed.
2. Marine environments should take into consideration
proximity to the shore as well as prevailing wind
direction.
3. Industrial contaminants may be general or localized,
based on the immediate source of contamination (i.e.
diesel fumes due to proximity to a loading dock).
4.
Combined marine-industrial are influenced by proximity
to shore, prevailing winds, general and local sources of
contamination.
5. Available for models AGZ030-070E only.
