Due to humidity and hospitable environment microorganisms grows rapidly on cooling coils. These microorganisms produce sticky substances due to which a thick layer of dust sticks to the coil which results in poor heat transfer between coil and air. Poor heat transfer between coil and air leads to greater energy consumption.
Coil Inefficiency Due to Bio-Film
- Bio-film has a heat transfer resistance four times that of scale
- The reduction or elimination of Bio-film results in energy savings due to improved heat transfer
How Does UltraCOIL Save Energy?
Installing a proper UVGI system in front of the coil kills such microorganisms, and hence it does not allow a biofilm to grow. A clean coil decreases the pressure drop across the coil which results in the following:
- Increase in the thermal efficiency (sensible loads) of the cooling coil
- Decreasing the load on the chiller hence energy saving on the chiller by 10-15%
- Reduction in microbial counts>15 %
Other benefits:
- Increasing the life of the coil by avoiding manual cleaning
- Earning IGBC point
- Typical payback period of < 15 months
- Helps Sars Covid Protection
