All Chiltrix Outdoor Units Use Anti-Corrosion Technology
The Chiltrix ultra-high efficiency air-to-water heat pumps are premium products; they are not low-cost or disposable units, and they need to last. That's why the Chiltrix components list looks like a who's-who of top-name component providers including MultiStack, SWEP, Mitsubishi, Emerson, and others. In addition, Chiltrix employs anti-corrosion coils on its outdoor units. This special coil technology resists corrosion from salty air and other airborne pollutants.
Designed for adverse air quality, all Chiltrix chillers use anti-corrosion technology. This is not a coating. Anti-corrosion coatings eventually wear off, and worse, the coating acts as an insulation layer which reduces the coil efficiency. The Chiltrix anti-corrosion treatment is a part of the manufacturing process, not something that is added later—and not added after official performance testing has been done.

How is Chiltrix Anti-Corrosion Air Conditioner Technology Different?
- NOT A COATING The aluminum fins of the outdoor heat exchanger coil are manufactured with a special silica-based nanotechnology process for long life and corrosion resistance. The unique SiO₂ nanotech manufacturing process used to produce the coil includes the addition of silica (essentially, glass) into the aluminum fins, which allows the fins to resist corrosive salts and extends the life of the coil. This is not a post-manufacturing coating and it can never wear off.
- TIGHTLY SEALED In addition to the special coil, the Chiltrix compressor and condenser fans use long-lasting brushless DC inverter motors made with Neodymium (Rare Earth) permanent magnets. The mechanical components are hermetically sealed. No water, moisture, air, salt, dust, or other contaminants can get inside.
- EFFICIENCY Some other manufacturers test and certify an aluminum fin coil and then afterward add an anti-corrosion coating over the aluminum fins, which lowers the performance. The capacity and efficiency testing is done without the coating, which means that the end users of the anti-corrosion-coated units get less capacity and efficiency than what's advertised. Not so with Chiltrix. Our units were sent to the AHRI lab and tested with the anti-corrosion coil installed. The extremely high performance of the Chiltrix air-to-water chiller heat pumps, and the ratings we publish, are net of any performance loss due to anti-corrosion technology.
- DYNAMIC HUMIDITY CONTROL In a coastal or tropical environment? Then chances are you have high outdoor humidity too. Meet the only air-cooled chiller air conditioner with Dynamic Humidity Control. Save energy while keeping the humidity outside.
