Anti-corrosion treatment on the indoor and outdoor units of a heat pump is a preventive measure aimed at extending the life and protecting the components, coils against damage caused by corrosion and the formation of oxidation.
Corrosion is a natural process of deterioration of metallic materials caused by chemical reactions with their environment. This deterioration can be caused by different factors: water, humidity, oxygen, chemicals or even temperature variations.
Kanartic heat pumps have undergone numerous tests and benefit from an anti-corrosion treatment: on the housing of the outdoor unit, the interior metal parts and the printed circuit board have been protected by a three-layer anti-rust treatment. In addition, the internal piping is covered with gold plating to prevent corrosion in the long term.
It is nevertheless important to follow the recommendations concerning the care and maintenance of the heat pump, including the specific instructions for anti-corrosion treatment, in order to ensure optimal operation and extend the life of the device.
