Composite hydrophilic coating for conditioner aluminum fins
(Department of Materials Science and Engineering Central South University of Technology, Changsha 410083, P.R.China)
Abstract: To solve the so-called “white rust” and ’water bridge” problems of the aluminum fins for heat exchanger of automobile air conditioner, aimed at nationalizing the art of hydrophilic coating technology, the choice of coating forming and curing materials was investigated. By measuring the water contact angle, SEM surface scanning and ingredients analysis of the coating, optimal parameters and composition are acquired. The coating forming mechanisms of the composition was also expatiated. The coating obtained has good hydrophilic and other properties.
Key words: aircondition equipment; aluminum fins; hydrophilicity; coatings
