 Coil cleaning made easy...

Save energy, save money - keep your customers happy

If you’re a busy AC&R engineer, Advanced Engineering are here to make your servicing and maintenance work easier.
Include coil cleaning in your routine maintenance programme and you will enjoy all of these benefits:
• Clean, safe air conditioning • Opportunity to earn extra profit • Fewer breakdown callouts

• Less chance of component failure • A customer with lower energy bills • Less time wasted problem solving

Some of the typical problems your clients report:

1. ‘ What’s that smell? ’

The inside of an evaporator can be warm and moist, especially when in defrost or
heating modes. Bacteria and other micro-organisms which create bad smells, cause
allergic reactions and spread diseases will thrive in these conditions. Some
evaporator units are notorious for their smells – but all evaporators can harbour
unpleasant germs and generate nasty odours if they are not cleaned and disinfected
regularly with a good quality product.

2. ‘ Our system isn’t cooling properly ’

Any dirt coating a coil’s surfaces will act as an insulating blanket, which seriously
affects its ability to function effectively. To achieve the same cooling effect, the
system has to work harder and run more frequently, reducing the efficiency of the
system. This uses more energy – which means higher energy bills – and puts extra
pressure on the system’s components.

3. ‘ Where’s the water coming from? ’

Water dripping from the evaporator tray and running down walls can be another
symptom of dirt build-up on the coil. An insulating layer of dirt on the evaporator
will compromise the refrigerant’s ability to effectively remove heat from the room.
As a result, ice forms during the cooling cycle and melts when the unit cuts out –
releasing an excess of water.

Microbes in air conditioning

The main culprits behind poor Indoor Air Quality are fungi, bacteria
and viruses. Fungi produce spores and defensive toxins which
combine with dust cells, waste materials and the by-products of the
microbe colony to trigger allergic reactions.

Bacteria are responsible for the unpleasant smells associated with

dirty air conditioning and, along with viruses, can cause disease in
humans by airborne infection. All of these contaminants are constantly
pumped into the air by dirty air conditioning systems.
 PRODUCTS FOR INDOOR UNITS
Clean & Disinfect The
Evaporator Coil
As the building’s air passes through the
evaporator coil, dirt in the air will stick to its
cooling surfaces.
Often, a filter is fitted to minimise this accumulation,
and to help prevent the recirculation of airborne
dirt. Unfortunately, such screens are rarely 100%
efficient - particularly in stopping very small items
such as dust, and more importantly, microbes.
The indoor unit can be moist and warm, especially
when in defrost or heating modes - the perfect
conditions for microbes to thrive and spread.
Indoor coils, condensate trays and drains must be
cleaned with an evaporator cleaner with
disinfectant to kill any microbes.
After cleaning and disinfecting, the unit is safe
to be reactivated. Coils are clean and efficient,
and microbes have been killed.
However... as soon as the system is turned back
on, dirt will start accumulating, microbes will start
growing again and smells will return – sometimes
in as little as two weeks.
Applying a long-term coil treatment is the most
effective way of ensuring that the indoor coil stays
clean and free from microbes until the next
maintenance visit, keeping IAQ at an optimum
level for months on end.
Pump approvals
Following extensive testing, major condensate
pump manufacturers have approved Advanced
Engineering evaporator products for use on
systems with their pump equipment installed.
This means you can treat evaporator coils with
Advanced Engineering products, then utilise
the installed pump to flush away run-off safely.

Descaling Products
Limescale occurs when minerals slowly concentrate
in water and precipitate out onto surfaces that the
water comes into contact with.
Therefore Limescale will result - and cause problems -
on any refrigeration system that utilises water. This can
be ice machines, cooling towers or even adiabatically
cooled condensers. Advanced offer several solutions to
this recurring problem...
HB-30®
HB-30® will effectively remove limescale
and slime – common problems in ice
machines – and will disinfect all surfaces.
Ice can stick to Limescale and jam the
machine. Fungi and slime then build up,
allowing bacteria to grow and
contaminate the ice. Slime can also give
