Service Restoration for Chiller Systems and Heat Exchangers

Restoration services repair and protect existing equipment instead of replacing it. For chillers and heat exchangers, this typically includes cleaning, corrosion assessment, abrasive blasting, rebuilding pitted or deteriorated metal, and applying a protective coating. The goal is to restore performance, stop corrosion progression, reduce fouling, prevent leaks, and extend service life with less downtime and lower capital cost than replacement.

A chiller tube sheet often needs restoration when inspections show pitting, galvanic corrosion, tube-end erosion, crevice corrosion, or leaks at tube-to-tube-sheet joints. Early warning signs include reduced capacity, rising maintenance costs, fouling, visible rust, or water box deterioration. Restoring the tube sheet before leaks worsen can help prevent coolant contamination and avoid premature tube bundle or chiller replacement.

The 100% solids coating system creates a non-conductive protective barrier over tube sheets, tube ends, water boxes, and accessible heat exchanger surfaces. It contains no solvent flash-off, builds a stronger cured film, resists long-term immersion, and protects against galvanic corrosion, erosion, cavitation, fouling, and corrosive water chemistry. It can also improve tube-to-tube-sheet joint strength in some applications.

Yes. Chiller Coating Services provides emergency response when corrosion, leaks, or severe pitting are discovered unexpectedly. Emergency scopes may include on-site assessment, cleaning, contained abrasive blasting, reconstruction of deteriorated areas, and protective coating application. When possible, work is coordinated around equipment access, redundancy, and downtime requirements to restore service while limiting operational disruption.

Pricing is project-based and determined after an on-site inspection. Cost factors include chiller or heat exchanger size, tube sheet condition, corrosion depth, water box scope, required reconstruction, access constraints, surface preparation needs, and scheduling requirements. Chiller Coating Services provides free estimates and positions restoration as a cost-effective alternative to major equipment replacement.

Work is commonly scheduled during planned chiller downtime, spring or fall shoulder seasons, plant shutdowns, school breaks, or outage windows. Quick-cure coating technology is designed to minimize downtime, and full chiller coating can consolidate tube sheet, tube end, water box, and heat exchanger work into a single mobilization. Exact timing depends on equipment condition and project scope.

Chiller Coating Services restores tube sheets, tube ends, water boxes, condensers, evaporators, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, brazed-plate heat exchangers, air handlers, and cooling towers. The work supports HVAC, process cooling, healthcare, schools, commercial real estate, power generation, data centers, manufacturing, and industrial facilities where corrosion protection and reliable cooling are critical.

Chiller Coating Services provides on-site service across New England and New York, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, and New York. The company is based in Franklin, New Hampshire and mobilizes to commercial, institutional, healthcare, power plant, and manufacturing facilities.
