The FIN GUARD energy conservation system for heat exchangers is based on a special heat conductive coating (technique), achieving a long lasting nominal performance.
The coating systems can be applied before assembly of the machine, before installation or even years after installation. The heat exchanging surface of the fin package determines the cooling capacity and consequently energy consumption.
By preventing the deterioration of the heat exchanging surface, FIN GUARD coating systems meet the requirements as energy conservation systems.
Only a combination of accelerated tests determines the performance of the coating system at practical exposure conditions.
Marine by ASTM B-117
Urban by ASTM B-287
Industrial by DIN 50018 or Kesternich test
Hundred and twenty cycles equivalent of heavy polluted sulphuric air have proven the success of FIN GUARD.
Tropical area by Ozone exposure – temperature changes- humidity
FIN GUARD was exposed in a humid cabinet to Ozone and extreme temperature fluctuations. By succeeding FIN GUARD proves to be able to cope with tropical weather conditions.
Dust and dirt by Din 40046
Very limited dust adhesion was found compared to regular aluminum surfaces.
Chemical resistance FIN GUARD withstands almost all chemical vapor exposure conditions. As a guideline, the Maximum Acceptable Concentration or MAC value is the exposure condition limit of the FIN GUARD coating system. If the MAC values are exceeded, THERMOGUARD should be consulted. A resistance list is available upon request.
