For the last decade or so, the building automation industry has been abuzz over interoperability, but true interoperability hasn’t always been easy to implement.
The evaporator coil, also known as the indoor coil, is an often forgotten component, sitting in an unobtrusive space, quietly attracting dirt, mold, and other contaminants.
Corrosive environments, whether they’re due to processes in a factory or salt water exposure on the East or West Coasts, are extremely tough on evaporators.
Although the main goal of evaporators is to transfer heat from the airstream to the fluid (refrigerant) being circulated within the refrigeration system, dehumidification is also an advantage.
