In 2012 we introduced a new technology of surface protection called LCE Coating. This technology protect heat exchanger coils from corrosion, mould and bacteria growth in a very effective way.
Unlike solvent-based coatings, LCE Coating is a water-based product that brings us significant improvements; Super Hydrophobic effect and Anti-microbial protection.
LCE COATING BENEFITS:
- Increases the lifetime of your units in highly aggressive environments.
- Anti-microbial protection prevents bacteria from growing inside your units.
- Repairable-on-site coating.
- No impact on capacity.
- 100 % penetration inside coil due to total immersion application.
- Super hydrophobic surface.
- Coating with strong bond to the substrate surface.
Anti-corrosion solution that actually works, LCE Coating makes a protective elastic layer on the whole surface of the coil. This layer is capable of withstanding thermal dilatation of the coil without cracking. Elasticity is a critical ability to prevent the creation of small cracks where corrosion begins. With this ability we can be sure that the protection works while the unit is working in real conditions.
NO MORE CORROSION
Many air handling units are working in aggressive environments such as coastal locations, food production lines, animal shelters, piggery units etc. where the standard protection isn’t enough. LCE Coating offers a perfect solution for coils in such environments.
LCE Coating is a highly functional anti-corrosion protection that provides a protective elastic layer on the whole surface of the coil. This layer is capable of withstanding thermal expansion of the coil without cracking.
Elasticity is a critical ability to prevent the creation of small cracks where corrosion begins. With this feature, you can be sure that the protection works even when the unit is operating under the most difficult working conditions.
Process that guarantees 100 % penetration & protection. The entire coil is immersed into a liquid form of LCE Coating letting the liquid penetrate even the smallest spaces between fins including fin collar, louvre, heat slots or any other type of forming. In addition, all other parts like U-bends, end-plates, side plates, headers, capillaries are coated and protected as well.
Tests found 100% penetration on fin blocks with 16 fins/inch (1,58 mm)!
