Abstract

In a process for treating the surfaces of aluminium heat exchangers which are provided with a corrosion-protective coating, the corrosion-protective coating is aftertreated, in order to apply an adherent, hydrophilic coating, with a dispersion which contains fine clay particles, preferably having a particle size of from 1 to 100 nanometres. The dispersion may additionally contain a surfactant, fine particles of silica or silicate and/or water-soluble synthetic resin. The weight of the coating produced by the aftertreatment should be from 0.01 to 5 g/m<2>, preferably from 0.1 to 1 g/m<2> (in the dry state).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Oberflächenbehandlung von Wärmeaustauscheroberflächen aus Aluminium, die mit einem korrosionsschützenden Überzug versehen sind.The invention relates to a method for the surface treatment of heat exchanger surfaces made of aluminum, which are provided with a corrosion-protective coating.

Um Korrosion auf Aluminium-Wärmeaustauschern zu verhindern, ist es bekannt, diese einer Oberflächenbehandlung zu unterwerfen und Schutzschichten, z.B. durch anodische Oxydation (Eloxierung), Böhmit-Schicht-Bildung, Harz-Schicht-Bildung, zu erzeugen. Die derartig behandelten Oberflächen sind jedoch wenig hydrophil, eher hydrophob. Auch Chromatschichten sind nur in der Anfangszeit mehr oder minder hydrophil. Insbesondere infolge Trocknung neigen sie dazu, sich von einer hydrophilen zu einer hydrophoben Oberfläche zu verändern.In order to prevent corrosion on aluminum heat exchangers, it is known to subject them to surface treatment and to provide protective layers, e.g. by anodic oxidation (anodizing), boehmite layer formation, resin layer formation. However, the surfaces treated in this way are not very hydrophilic, but rather hydrophobic. Chromate layers are also only more or less hydrophilic in the beginning. In particular as a result of drying, they tend to change from a hydrophilic to a hydrophobic surface.

Andererseits sind die meisten Wärmeaustauscher zum Zwecke der Steigerung der Wärmeabgabe oder des Kühleffektes derart ausgelegt, daß die wärmeabgebenden oder kühlenden Flächen möglichst groß sind. Der Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Lamellen wird äußerst klein gewählt. Wird der Wärmeaustauscher zu Kühlzwecken verwendet, kondensiert Luftfeuchtigkeit auf der Oberfläche des Wärmeaustauschers, insbesondere in den Lamellenspalten. Je hydrophober die Lamellenoberflächen sind, desto leichter bildet das Kondenswasser Wassertropfen, die die Lamellenspalten verstopfen, den Durchtrittswiderstand für Luft erhöhen und damit die Wärmeaustauschrate senken. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, daß die in den Lamellenspalten haftenden Wassertropfen vom Ventilator des Wärmeaustauschers in die Luft geblasen und leicht aus dem im Gerät unten angebrachten Wasserauffangbehälter herausgedrückt werden. Gegebenenfalls kann dadurch die Umgebung des Wärmeaustauschers naßgespritzt werden.On the other hand, most heat exchangers are designed for the purpose of increasing the heat output or the cooling effect in such a way that the heat-emitting or cooling surfaces are as large as possible. The distance between the individual slats is chosen to be extremely small. If the heat exchanger is used for cooling purposes, air moisture condenses on the surface of the heat exchanger, especially in the fins. The more hydrophobic the fin surfaces are, the easier the condensed water forms water drops that clog the fin gaps, increase the resistance to air and thus reduce the heat exchange rate. Another disadvantage is that the water droplets sticking in the lamellar columns from the fan of the heat exchanger into the air blow and be easily pushed out of the water collecting container in the bottom of the device. If necessary, the surroundings of the heat exchanger can be sprayed wet.

Auch bei Verwendung für Heizzwecke setzt sich im Winter an im Freien stehenden Geräten Reif-, Tau- und Nebelfeuchtigkeit an, welche die Heizwirkung verschlechtert. Von Zeit zu Zeit wird daher der Betrieb des Wärmeaustauschers umgekehrt, das im Freien stehende Gerät beheizt und die Feuchtigkeit beseitigt. Eine solche kurzzeitige und wirksame Beseitigung der Feuchtigkeit ist für die Funktion von kühlenden und heizenden Klimaanlagen unabdingbar.Even when used for heating purposes, frost, dew and fog moisture builds up on outdoor devices in winter, which worsens the heating effect. From time to time, therefore, the operation of the heat exchanger is reversed, the outdoor unit is heated and the moisture is removed. Such a short-term and effective removal of moisture is essential for the function of cooling and heating air conditioning systems.

Um die Feuchtigkeit rasch zu entfernen, ist es deshalb wirkungsvoll, die Lamellenoberflächen der kühlenden Teile des Wärmeaustauschers hydrophil zu gestalten. Gleichzeitig wird dadurch das Sickervermögen des Wassers gesteigert. Eine alleinige Behandlung zur Steigerung des Sickervermögens reicht jedoch im Hinblick auf den erforderlichen Korrosionsschutz nicht aus. Insbesondere bei Wärmeaustauscherflächen aus Aluminium ist eine Korrosionsschutzbehandlung erforderlich.In order to remove the moisture quickly, it is therefore effective to make the fin surfaces of the cooling parts of the heat exchanger hydrophilic. At the same time, the seepage capacity of the water is increased. A single treatment to increase the seepage capacity is not sufficient with regard to the required corrosion protection. Corrosion protection treatment is particularly necessary for heat exchanger surfaces made of aluminum.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, das den Aluminiumoberflächen von Wärmeaustauschern gute hydrophile Eigenschaft vermittelt, ohne daß der Korrosionsschutz verschlechtert wird und die Nachteile der bekannten Verfahren in Kauf genommen werden.The object of the present invention is to provide a method which imparts good hydrophilic properties to the aluminum surfaces of heat exchangers without the corrosion protection being impaired and without the disadvantages of the known methods being accepted.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem das Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art entsprechend der Erfindung derart ausgestaltet wird, daß man den korrosionsschützenden Überzug mit einer Dispersion, die Tonerde-Feinpartikel enthält, nachbehandelt. Der auf der Aluminiumoberfläche befindliche korrosionsschützende Überzug kann eine Eloxal- oder Böhmit-Schicht, ein ChromatÜberzug oder dergl. sein. Durch die zunächst auf den Wärmeaustauscheroberflächen gebildete Grundschicht wird Korrosionsbeständigkeit erzielt, die durch das Bilden einer Schicht von Tonerde-Feinpartikeln durch Auftrag einer wäßrigen, Tonerde-Feinpartikel enthaltenden Dispersion hydrophile Eigenschaften erhält.The object is achieved by designing the method of the type mentioned at the outset in accordance with the invention in such a way that the anti-corrosion coating is after-treated with a dispersion which contains fine alumina particles. The corrosion protective coating on the aluminum surface can be an anodized or boehmite layer, a chromate coating or the like. The base layer initially formed on the heat exchanger surfaces causes corrosion Stability achieved, which receives hydrophilic properties by forming a layer of fine alumina particles by applying an aqueous dispersion containing alumina fine particles.

Für die innerhalb der Erfindung aufgebrachten korrosionsschützenden Grundschichten können die bekannten Verfahren angewendet werden.The known methods can be used for the corrosion-protective base layers applied within the invention.

Die im erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren verwendeten Tonerde-Feinpartikel sollten vorzugsweise eine Teilchengröße von 1 bis 100 Nanometer (10 m) aufweisen.The fine alumina particles used in the process according to the invention should preferably have a particle size of 1 to 100 nanometers (10 m).

Aufgrund ihrer in wäßriger Phase positiven elektrischen Ladung haften die Tonerde-Feinpartikel auf der überzugsbehandelten Oberfläche und gehen eine derartige Bindung ein, daß einmal aufgebrachte Tonerde-Feinpartikel praktisch nicht mehr redispergierbar und damit ablösbar sind. Die hydrophile Eigenschaft verändert sich mit Zeitablauf kaum, so daß eine dauerhaft hydrophile Oberfläche erhalten bleibt.Because of their electrical charge, which is positive in the aqueous phase, the fine alumina particles adhere to the coating-treated surface and form such a bond that once applied fine alumina particles are practically no longer redispersible and therefore removable. The hydrophilic property hardly changes over time, so that a permanently hydrophilic surface is retained.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, mit einer Dispersion nachzubehandeln, die zusätzlich Tensid enthält. Besonders geeignet sind anionische, nichtionische, ggf. auch zwitterionische Tenside. Durch ihre Gegenwart wird einerseits die Dispersion stabilisiert und andererseits die Benetzbarkeit des korrosionsschützenden Überzuges verbessert.A preferred embodiment of the invention consists in aftertreatment with a dispersion which additionally contains surfactant. Anionic, nonionic, and possibly also zwitterionic surfactants are particularly suitable. Their presence stabilizes the dispersion on the one hand and improves the wettability of the anti-corrosion coating on the other.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, mit einer Dispersion nachzubehandeln, die zusätzlich Feinpartikel aus Kieselsäure oder Silikat enthält. Die Partikelgröße sollte in der gleichen Größenordnung wie die für die Tonerde liegen. Durch den zusätzlichen Gehalt an den genannten Komponenten wird auf der überzogenen Oberfläche eine Schicht mit einer dem Mullit (3 Al2O3 2 Si02) nahen Struktur geschaffen. Diese ist von der überzogenen Oberfläche besonders schwer ablösbar, verändert sich mit Zeitablauf kaum und bewirkt eine dauerhafte hydrophile Oberfläche.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for aftertreatment with a dispersion which additionally contains fine particles of silica or silicate. The particle size should be of the same order of magnitude as that for the alumina. The additional content of the components mentioned creates a layer on the coated surface with a structure close to the mullite (3 Al 2 O 3 2 Si0 2 ). This is special from the coated surface difficult to remove, hardly changes over time and creates a permanent hydrophilic surface.

Gemäß einer anderen zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann man mit einer wäßrigen Dispersion nachbehandeln, die Tannin enthält. Hierdurch wird die hydrophile Eigenschaft der überzogenen Oberfläche nochmals verbessert. Ein gleichartiger Erfolg wird erzielt, wenn man eine wäßrige Dispersion einsetzt, die Tonerde-Feinpartikel, Kieselerde-Feinpartikel und Tannin gemeinsam enthält.According to another expedient embodiment of the invention, post-treatment can be carried out with an aqueous dispersion which contains tannin. This further improves the hydrophilic property of the coated surface. A similar success is achieved if an aqueous dispersion is used which contains fine alumina particles, fine silica particles and tannin.

Schließlich läßt sich das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren auch derart ausgestalten, daß man mit einer Dispersion nachbehandelt, die wasserlösliches Kunstharz enthält.Finally, the process according to the invention can also be designed in such a way that aftertreatment is carried out with a dispersion which contains water-soluble synthetic resin.

Das Beimischen wasserlöslicher Kunstharze gestattet in eleganter Weise die Viskositätssteuerung der wäßrigen Dispersion und erleichtert damit das Regulieren der Auftragsmenge. Allerdings sollte der Kunstharzgehalt vergleichsweise klein sein.The admixture of water-soluble synthetic resins elegantly permits the viscosity control of the aqueous dispersion and thus facilitates the regulation of the application quantity. However, the resin content should be comparatively small.

Das innerhalb der Erfindung ggf. mitverwendete Tannin bedeutet Tannin oder Tanninsäure, wobei auch hydrolysierbares Tannin oder kondensierbares Tannin oder diese Formen teilweise gelöst enthaltende Vorstoffe eingesetzt werden können, z.B. Depsid, Gallotannin, chinesisches Tannin, türkisches Tannin, Hamamelitannin, Tanninsäure des Karako-Ahorns, Chebulinsäure, Sumachtannin, Tannin des japanischen Gallapfels, Ellagsäuretannin, Catechin, Catechintanninsäure sowie Tanninsäure der Quebrana [Quebrachogerbsäure].The tannin possibly used in the invention means tannin or tannic acid, whereby hydrolyzable tannin or condensable tannin or precursors containing these forms partially dissolved can also be used, e.g. Depsid, Gallotannin, Chinese Tannin, Turkish Tannin, Hamamelitannin, Tannic Acid of Karako Maple, Chebulinic Acid, Sumachannin, Tannin from Japanese GallApple, Ellagic Acid Tannin, Catechin, Catechintannic Acid and Tannic Acid from Quebrana [Quebrachogerbic Acid].

Das mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erzeugte Schichtgewicht sollte etwa 0,01 bis 5 g/m2 (in getrocknetem Zustand) betragen. Bei weniger als 0,01 g/m2 ist eine ausreichend hydrophile Oberfläche kaum zu erzielen. Mehr als 5 g/m2 gelangen an die Grenze der Wirtschaftlichkeit. Bei einer Auftragsmenge von 0,1 bis 1 g/m2 erhält man einen Randwinkel bei Benetzung mit Wasser von unter 30°, was auf eine effektiv hydrophile Eigenschaft deutet.The layer weight produced with the method according to the invention should be approximately 0.01 to 5 g / m 2 (in the dried state). With less than 0.01 g / m 2 , a sufficiently hydrophilic surface can hardly be achieved. More than 5 g / m 2 reach the limit of economy. With an application amount of 0.1 to 1 g / m 2 you get one Contact angle when wetted with water of less than 30 °, which indicates an effectively hydrophilic property.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der folgenden Beispiele beispielsweise und näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated by the following examples, for example and in more detail.
