Test and Evaluation of Coating for Condensing Heat Exchangers.
The International Copper Association supports the use of copper by industry. Copper has been widely utilized by heating equipment manufacturers, but has been losing favor because of its limited ability to withstand the corrosive environment found in high-efficiency combustion appliances. Yankee designed and built a special test facility and then tested a wide variety of metallic and organic coating that could provide the protection needed. Today, a number of manufacturers utilize coating to protect copper heat exchangers in this application.
