System Types

Two protection approaches are available. The right one depends on system size, environment, and whether active monitoring is required.

Sacrificial Anode Specifications

Anode material: Magnesium. Electrochemical potential: Approximately -1.6 V relative to copper. Mounting hardware: Stainless steel clamp, included. Power required: None. Installation point: Suction line (metallic contact). Replacement interval: Annual at routine HVAC service visit. Residential anode cost: $50 per anode. Minisplit anode cost: $40 per anode. Commercial anode cost: $60 per anode. Installation time: Approximately 30 minutes. Refrigerant handling: Not required. System modification: None.

Full dimensional specifications and hardware drawings are available; contact us for product documentation.

ICCP System Specifications

Anode material: Inert titanium. Power supply: 120V or 240V AC. Monitoring: Reference electrode, real-time. Current adjustment: Automatic (controller-managed). Controller service life: Approximately 10 years. Installation: Professional installation required. System cost: $500. BAS integration: Available (logging and alert output). Refrigerant handling: Not required. System modification: None.

Full controller specifications, wiring diagrams, and reference electrode installation details are available; contact us for product documentation.

Universal Compatibility

Both systems are compatible with aluminum coils, copper coils, and mixed-metal evaporator and condenser coils. They work with every major residential and commercial HVAC brand, including Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Goodman, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Fujitsu. No modifications to the refrigerant circuit, electrical system, or coil assembly are required. If your application is unusual (large tonnage, multi-circuit, or process cooling), contact us before purchasing and we will confirm compatibility and sizing.

Compatibility summary: Aluminum evaporator: Yes. Copper evaporator: Yes. Mixed-metal (copper tube / aluminum fin): Yes. Condenser coil: Yes. Mini-split (indoor and outdoor): Yes. Commercial rooftop unit: Yes.

Warranty and Support

Sacrificial Anode System: Materials and workmanship warranty. Anode replaced annually as part of routine HVAC service. No service interruptions required between annual visits under normal operating conditions.

ICCP System: Professional installation warranty plus comprehensive system warranty. Controller service life approximately 10 years. Extended service agreements available for critical applications.

CoilShield protection does not replace or extend the HVAC manufacturer's equipment warranty. It is a maintenance measure designed to prevent coil failure before it occurs.

Heritage

Two Centuries of Proven Electrochemistry

In 1824, Sir Humphry Davy solved copper ship hull corrosion for the Royal Navy. Two hundred years later, this same principle protects your HVAC coils.

1824

Sir Humphry Davy demonstrates cathodic protection for the Royal Navy. Iron corrodes instead of copper hulls.

1833

Michael Faraday establishes the electrochemical principles still used in every cathodic protection system worldwide.

1928

First cathodic protection systems installed on U.S. gas pipelines.

1988

Legally mandated for underground fuel storage tanks and major oil and gas pipelines under EPA regulations.

Today

CoilShield adapts proven cathodic protection for HVAC coil corrosion prevention worldwide.
