PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 HEATING AND COOLING COILS

A. Conform to ASTM B75 and AHRI 410.

B. For air-handling unit mounted coils provide the following corrosion treatment:

1. Epoxy Immersion Coating – Electrically Deposited: The multi-stage corrosion-resistant coating application comprises of cleaning (heated alkaline immersion bath) and reverse-osmosis immersion rinse prior to the start of the coating process. The coating thickness shall be maintained between 0.6-mil and 1.2-mil. Before the coils are subjected to high-temperature oven cure, they are treated to permeate immersion rinse and spray. Where the coils are subject to UV exposure, UV protection spray treatment comprising of UV-resistant urethane mastic topcoat shall be applied. Provide complete coating process traceability for each coil and minimum five years of limited warranty.

2. The coating process shall such that uniform coating thickness is maintained at the fin edges. The quality control shall be maintained by ensuring compliance to the applicable ASTM Standards for the following:

a. Salt Spray Resistance (Minimum 6,000 Hours)

b. Humidity Resistance (Minimum 1,000 Hours)

c. Water Immersion (Minimum 260 Hours)

d. Cross-Hatch Adhesion (Minimum 4B-5B Rating)

e. Impact Resistance (Up to 160 Inch/Pound)

D. Tubes: Minimum 0.625 inch tube diameter; Seamless copper tubing.

E. Fins: 0.0055 inch aluminum or 0.0045 inch copper mechanically bonded or soldered or helically wound around tubing.
