About this file
This document is a technical specification for Air Coils (Section 23 82 16) for a construction project at the VAMC Miami, Florida. The specification covers detailed requirements for heating and cooling coils used in air handling units and duct applications, with stringent technical specifications including materials, construction, and performance standards. Key technical requirements include:
Coil materials and construction specifications mandate seamless copper tubing with minimum 16 mm diameter, aluminum or copper fins, and specific corrosion-resistant treatments for high humidity locations. The specification requires epoxy immersion coating with multi-stage corrosion resistance, including UV protection, with quality control standards for salt spray resistance, humidity resistance, and impact resistance. Coils must conform to ASTM and AHRI standards, with specific pressure ratings for water, steam, and refrigerant coils. The document also outlines installation, startup, testing, commissioning, and training requirements, including a four-hour manufacturer's technical representative training session for VA personnel.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 HEATING AND COOLING COILS
A. Conform to ASTM B75 and AHRI 410.
B. High Humidity Locations: 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)
