Does anyone know of a good web-available white paper on the causes of aluminum fin corrosion on commercial air conditioning condensing units?
Not coastal location related; units are in central Florida.
Thanks.
Living in NY, corrosion isn't as much an issue. However, we do have a lot of dust, dirt, and cottonwood fluff that clogs them.
You probably already DAGS.
I see things haven't changed here. I ask a legitimate question and get ridiculed.

Sorry John, Usenet is a lot like middle school. Ask an esoteric question that taxes the mental abilities of the group and the kiddies will tease you. Try this link:

Do a CAT scan to check for piss on the unit.
It is a case of disimilar metals and on the coast with electrolyte like salt the fins rot away. There are other electrolytes besides salt so maybe take a look at what kind of industry is up wind.
Now other causes I have seen, and this happened on a copper tube - copper fin coil was from electromagetism, roof top units and their close proximity to mutilple overhead power services.
If the units are on the ground then it is also the case of good old fashioned dog piss
