Description
Corrosion inhibitors play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of air conditioning systems, particularly in the outdoor unit where components are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. One of the primary functions of a corrosion inhibitor is to protect the metal fins of the condenser coil, which are highly susceptible to corrosion due to constant exposure to moisture, salt, pollutants, and temperature fluctuations. Over time, corrosion can degrade these fins, leading to reduced heat transfer efficiency, increased energy consumption, and ultimately, system failure. By incorporating a corrosion inhibitor, the system is safeguarded against these detrimental effects, ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of the unit.
