The Greatest Problem of All
for All Air-Cooled Chillers, RTU’s, CRAC & VRF. Also for Cooling Towers & OA Louvers
The Problem & Costs of Dirty Coils
High Head Pressure comes from dirty coils and results in simultaneous both reduced cooling capacity & increased power draw, which doesn't include maintenance, repair & replacement costs.
- Inefficient operation
- High energy costs
- Reduced cooling capacity
- Uncomfortable, disgruntled tenants or employees
- Escalating maintenance cost
- Downtime
- Damaged coils from improper or repeated coil cleaning (multiple times each year)
- Expensive compressor failures
- Premature equipment replacement
Optimum = Original Equipment Design Efficiency. The power cost to operate the unit increases as the head pressure increases above optimum. This is only part of the high cost of dirty coils.

RTU with Cottonwood Seed Accumulating on the CDS Coils Behind the Hail Guards Reduces Airflow & Capacity, Increases Head Pressure & Energy Draw
Split-Fin Condenser Coils must be separated after removing the top and sides of the RTU. Cottonwood is packed and hidden between the rows.
New Daikin CDS Unit in Process Cooling Application Coils Are Coated with Cottonwood Which Causes Loss of Cooling Capacity, Decreased Efficiency & Risk of Compressor Failures from High Head Pressure

The Solution
Don’t Let Airborne Debris Get Into the Coils in the First Place
Inspect & Clean in Minutes!
Air Solution Company’s unique, patented filters are designed and engineered with self-cleaning features because nothing sticks and even the rain washes them off. In the video the leaves flutter around while they are simply wiped-off with a soft foxtail brush, even with the unit still running! Nothing sticks to the filter screen media or becoming impinged in the mesh.
Condenser Coil Cleaning is time consuming! The coils can be damaged while using high-pressure water and harsh chemicals. The environment can be damaged by the run off into the ground.
Coils are to be cleaned from the inside out. Here the service tech is trying to drive the cottonwood out, but the tip of the pressure washer is too close.
