METHOD OF REGENERATING A HEAT EXCHANGER HYDROPHOBIC COATING

A method of regenerating a hydrophobic coating 62 on a heat exchanger 34 includes exposing the hydrophobic coating 62 to a temperature within a range of about fifty to one-hundred-and-fifty degrees Celsius. The heat exchanger 34 may further be an evaporator 34 used in a refrigeration system 20 where...

Zusammenfassung:	A method of regenerating a hydrophobic coating 62 on a heat exchanger 34 includes exposing the hydrophobic coating 62 to a temperature within a range of about fifty to one-hundred-and-fifty degrees Celsius. The heat exchanger 34 may further be an evaporator 34 used in a refrigeration system 20 wherein a plurality of fins 54 of the evaporator 34 coated with the hydrophobic coating 62 is heated. Through heating, a molecular structure of the hydrophobic coating 62 may be reorganized thus regenerating anti-frost features attributed by the hydrophobic coating 62.
