Corrosion protection for HVAC/R equipment is sometimes viewed by equipment owners as a questionable expense, or nothing more than a mere aesthetic problem. In coastal, industrial and assorted other environments; corrosion is an expensive reality. Corrosion as a whole costs companies billions of dollars annually in higher maintenance and repair costs, premature replacement expenses, and lost efficiency. Corrosion directly increases the costs of operation.
Outdoor ammonia piping gets pitted over time as the result of environmental factors. Belzona 5111 (Ceramic Cladding) is used to stop the effects of corrosion in their tracks. This material is also UV stable making it ideal for outdoor applications.
Cost is a factor in any business decision; however the upfront expenditure to provide a protective coating for equipment in a corrosive environment should be considered an investment, not an expense. The payback of the investment comes from longer-lasting equipment delivering designed energy efficiencies with fewer repair bills. In addition, you substantially reduce inconvenience and costs associated with downtime.
