technique the total heat-exchanging surface is protected with a thin
but dense coating layer. This means that not only will the lifetime of the
heatexchangersbeextended,thecoolingcapacitywillremainintactas
well.The risk of breakdownswill bemuch lower, and related costs can
be avoided. Huge savings can easily be obtained simply by having the
