Aluminum Foil for Air Conditioner
Air conditioning aluminum foil is mainly used as the heat conducting fin material of air conditioning heat exchanger. It quickly transfers heat and cold through its excellent thermal conductivity, helping the air conditioning system to effectively exchange heat, thereby achieving the function of cooling or heating. The use of air conditioning aluminum foil can improve the heat exchange efficiency of air conditioners, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall performance.
As a professional aluminum foil supplier, Lanren provides a series of high-quality air conditioning aluminum foil products, including bare aluminum foil and coated aluminum foil. Coated aluminum foil is formed by surface reprocessing of uncoated aluminum foil and has specific functions such as hydrophilic aluminum foil used for air conditioner cooling, hydrophobic aluminum foil for heat exchange, anti-corrosion air condition aluminum foil to prevent the heat exchanger from getting moldy etc. Contact us for more details about products.

Types of Aluminum Foil for Air Conditioner
Bare aluminum foil: This is an aluminum foil without surface treatment, which has good thermal conductivity but relatively weak corrosion resistance. In some applications, uncoated aluminum foil is still used, especially in cost-sensitive situations.
Coated aluminum foil: This aluminum foil has been specially treated on the surface and has better functionality than uncoated, such as enhanced corrosion resistance, hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity. Coated aluminum foil can increase the service life of air conditioners and improve heat exchange efficiency.
- Corrosion-resistant aluminum foil: The surface is coated with an anti-corrosion protective layer, which is suitable for harsh environments and helps to improve the durability and ventilation quality of air conditioners.
- Hydrophilic aluminum foil: It has strong hydrophilicity, which can promote the rapid flow of condensed water and reduce the accumulation of water droplets between heat exchangers, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency.
- Hydrophobic aluminum foil: By increasing the contact angle between condensed water and heat exchangers, the condensed water forms water droplets that are easy to slide off, so as to achieve the purpose of removing condensed water between heat exchangers.
- Self-lubricating aluminum foil: No additional lubricating oil is required during punching. The pre-treated surface film can play a lubricating role, simplifying the production process and reducing costs.
- Anti-mildew aluminum foil: Mainly used in the indoor unit of air conditioners to prevent mold on the surface of the heat exchanger and maintain good ventilation quality.
Advantages of Aluminum Foil for Air Conditioner
Compared with ordinary aluminum foil, special aluminum foil for air conditioners has the following unique performance advantages:
- Enhanced anti-corrosion and anti-mildew function: Special aluminum foil for air conditioners is usually treated with special hydrophilic treatment, which increases the anti-corrosion and anti-mildew ability of the material, helping to maintain the long-term performance and sanitation of air conditioner heat exchangers.
- Improved heat exchange efficiency: The hydrophilic treatment allows condensed water to disperse quickly on the surface of the aluminum foil without forming water droplets, which can reduce the blockage between the heat exchanger plates and improve the heat exchange rate, generally by about 5%.
- Reduced noise: Since the uniform distribution of condensed water reduces the formation of water droplets, the noise caused by vibration is also reduced accordingly.
- Environmental protection characteristics: Special aluminum foil for air conditioners can prevent air conditioner oxidation powder from blowing into the room, meet environmental protection requirements, and provide a healthier living environment.
- Excellent formability and wear resistance: Special aluminum foil for air conditioners shows good formability during the production process and has less wear on the mold, which helps to manufacture heat exchanger parts with complex shapes.
- Resistance to stamping oil, solvents and heat: These improved properties mean that aluminum foil is more durable during manufacturing and use, and can withstand more mechanical and thermal stress.
- Reduced airflow resistance: Due to the uniform distribution of condensed water, airflow resistance is reduced, further improving heat exchange efficiency.
These advantages make aluminum foil for air conditioners a more ideal material for air conditioner heat exchangers, helping to improve the overall performance and reliability of air conditioners.
