What are evaporator coils and how do they work?
Evaporator coils, as their name would suggest, are coils of piping that function as a heat exchanger. The coils are generally fabricated from hollow copper tubing and make up an integral part of the climate control systems.
The tubing is filled with a coolant that absorbs the heat from the ambient air as it’s drawn into the cooling system. As the coolant evaporates, the air is cooled and then pumped through vents into the home. This allows for the home to be kept cool at all times.
Taking care of the evaporator coils
An evaporator coil can at times need professional reapir services:
- Dirt and Dust: If dirt or dust is allowed to accumulate on evaporator coils, the tubing is unable to heat or cool the ambient air as effectively because air cannot make proper contact with the coils. When this occurs, it results in the coils freezing over, and prevents the AC unit from working properly.
- Corrosion: Although copper is less prone to corrosion than other types of metals, evaporator coils sometimes corrode over time. If the piping becomes corroded or develops holes, even pinholes, the coolant inside will escape from the system.
These issues result in wasted energy and additional stress on the entire system as it works overtime to produce the desired temperature. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, repair, and replacement of damaged parts helps to circumvent these problems.
Keeping the coils in good shape for the future
Evaporator coil maintenance and repair is best left to a trained professional. If problems with evaporator coils are suspected, Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc technicians can inspect the coils for problems and repair any damage that’s found. Attempts by an untrained person to clean or repair evaporator coils could lead to even more damage to the system. Additionally, by performing regular cleanings and maintenance, many of the issues that can occur within a coil can be resolved before it becomes a major issue.
Your Comfort Is Our Promise
As is the case with almost any mechanical system, evaporator coils work best when they are clean and well–maintained. The energy used to cool a home or business often represents a large portion of the structure’s energy usage, and ensuring that your system operates at peak efficiency can prevent wasted energy and save money on energy bills over time.
