Thermal Deoiling of Evaporator Coils for Air Conditioners
Thermal Deoiling of Evaporator Coils for Air Conditioners THE PROBLEM A major Air Conditioning company needed an alternate technology for degreasing evaporator fins. They had, until recently, been deoiling metal parts in a conveyorized solvent-based vapor degreasing line. Epcon had an initial meeting and proposed Thermal Clean technology. At the same time, Epcon provided a convincing argument and proof that Thermal Clean technology was the only solution to the problem. The technology being used over the years was a degreaser and the cost of cleaning these fins was millions of dollars a year for water, chemicals and the disposal.
