COIL CLEANING

COMPLETE REFERENCE GUIDE

 EVAPORATOR CONDENSER
Cleaning your evaporator is vital in helping Cleaning condenser coils is a key part
keep your system up and running for of maintaining your system. Neglecting
years to come. Dirty evaporator coils can to clean condenser coils can also lead
lead to high energy costs, decreased heat to increased energy costs, decreased
transfer, reduced airflow and contribute to system capacity as well as shortening
adverse indoor comfort conditions. the life of your equipment.

A clean evaporator coil is a vital aspect to ensure healthy indoor air

quality. The evaporator coil is the primary source for IAQ issues such
as mold and mildew, harmful VOCs, and disturbing odors. By regularly
cleaning and disinfecting the evaporator coil, you can eliminate and
control these issues and ensure superior indoor air quality.

• Five mix ratio
settings - 3:1,

10:1
• Coil Gun Probe
4774-1

Nu-Calgon’s Coil Gun introduces a time and money saving approach to applying Nu-Calgon Coil Cleaners. With
five mix ratios, adjusting for light, medium or heavily impacted coils is quick and easy. Reducing product waste
and eliminating the need for mixing helps you clean coils more efficiently. Using the foam wand attachments
increases the amount of foam during the cleaning process. This is important for those heavy-duty applications.
The pressure from the Coil Gun increases the cleaner’s ability to penetrate and lift soils away from the coil. This
foam also increases the exposure and dwell time of the cleaner, allowing the breakdown of the most stubborn
soils. The visual effect of seeing the cleaner foaming also highlights areas of the coil where additional cleaner
may need to be applied.
PRODUCTS FOR MICROCHANNEL
Microchannel is a coil type TOP CHOICES!
used in many evaporator and
condenser coils and can easily
be identified by its flat tubes and
fins between them that appear
as waves between the tubes.
Some products cannot be
used on microchannel due to
all aluminum construction.
It’s best to use microchannel safe
coil cleaners whenever dealing
with aluminum construction; Tri-Pow’r HD® Special HD® CalClean®
here are the best options when CalClean
servicing microchannel units.

iWave®-C, iWave®-R, iWave®-M, iWave®-V
4900-10, 4900-20, 4900-35, 4900-40
iWave devices utilize needle point bi-polar ionization technology,
meaning they use two carbon fiber emitters to emit equal amounts
of positive and negative ions. When these ions are injected into the
air stream, they break down passing VOCs, pollutants and gases
into harmless compounds like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and
water vapor without creating ozone or any harmful byproducts. When
the ions come in contact with viruses, bacteria or mold, they remove
the hydrogen molecules from the pathogens. Without hydrogen, the
pathogens have no source of energy and will die. The ions also attach
to allergens, such as pollen, smoke and other particles, causing them
to band together until they are large enough to be caught by filters.
The iWave line of air purifiers are the full comprehensive approach to
providing cleaner and healthier indoor air quality.
