The images document a professional chemical cleaning and descaling of an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) unit, specifically focusing on the evaporator coils and the centrifugal blower fan.
Chemical Application: A technician is shown using a pressurized spray canister to apply a foaming cleaning agent to the evaporator coils. This foam is designed to penetrate deep into the fins to loosen accumulated dust, biological growth, and debris.
Coil Descaling/Cleaning: * Before: The coils show significant buildup of "matting" (thick layers of dust and grime) and potential oxidation.
After: The fins are clear and metallic, which is essential for efficient heat exchange and improved airflow.
Blower Fan Restoration:
Before: The squirrel-cage blower wheel is heavily coated in dark particulate matter. This adds weight to the blades, causing motor strain and reduced air velocity.
After: The blue plastic blades of the blower wheel are cleaned back to their original state, ensuring proper balance and hygienic air delivery.
Energy Efficiency: Clean coils allow the system to reach target temperatures faster, reducing electricity consumption.
Air Quality: Removing mold and dust buildup prevents the circulation of allergens and pathogens throughout the building.
Equipment Longevity: Reducing the "drag" on the blower motor and preventing coil corrosion extends the life of the unit.
Drainage Maintenance: Chemical cleaning also helps clear the condensate tray (visible at the bottom of the coils) to prevent water leaks and "dirty sock syndrome" odors.
