SUBJECT: CORROSION PROTECTION BREAKTHROUGH
PRODUCT: COLMAC "MI", MARINE INDUSTRIAL COIL CONSTRUCTION
ANNOUNCING:
In their ongoing effort to provide the commercial and industrial
HVAC and refrigeration markets with state-of-the-art corrosion
protection technology, Colmac R&D engineers have announced an all new corrosion
resistant coil product. After extended testing in harsh ‘real-world’
marine environments, Colmac engineers have identified a new combination
of fin and tube materials which effectively resists corrosion in
harsh marine (salt), and industrial environments. The new technology
uses highly conductive base metals for both tubes and fins which are coated
with multiple proprietary protection systems prior to fabrication. The result
is a new coil protection system which offers outstanding heat transfer
and corrosion resistance characteristics at lower prices
compared to all copper or cupro-nickel construction, or conventional baked
phenolic coil coatings.

"MI" coil construction is available for use with water, glycols,
or halocarbon ("freon") refrigerants. Refrigeration air-coolers
and air-cooled condensers are available with Colmac "MI"
construction, as well as chilled and hot water, evaporator,
and condenser coils. New or replacement coils for commercial and
industrial air conditioning and refrigeration equipment located near the sea
shore or on board ships are ideal applications for this new
technology. Colmac "MI" coil

Colmac will begin offering "MI"
Marine Industrial coil construction immediately on its HPA line of
packaged heat pump water heaters (Colmac HPA-11 in Hawaii shown at
right). Many applications for the Colmac HPA line require that the heat pumps
be located outdoors in marine environments such as resort hotels,
and multi-family dwellings. Standard coil construction with plain aluminum fins
on copper tubes corrodes quickly under these conditions. The new Colmac
"MI" coil construction now gives engineers and contractors a cost
effective way to beat coil corrosion in marine environments!

"MI" corrosion protection system for your next marine duty coil
application.
