A heavy hurricane and tropical storm season may bring more corrosion damage to HVACR systems than we normally see, though the resulting problems may not be apparent for several weeks. Now, as many contractors start to clean up systems, and others are scheduling preventive maintenance customers, coil care and corrosion prevention should be high on the work list.
According to the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), corrosion creates millions of dollars in damage to industry in general, and an unknown amount in the HVACR field, though it predominantly affects the coils.
