Radiant+ E3 Coating System

Restore HVACR Efficiency. Reduce Energy Consumption. 

Extend Equipment Life.

The Hidden Problem in HVACR Systems

HVACR systems don’t suddenly become inefficient—they slowly lose performance over time.

As condenser and cooling coils age, they suffer from:

• Corrosion and oxidation on aluminium and copper surfaces

• Dust, biofilm, and contaminant build-up

• Water retention from condensation

• Reduced airflow and heat transfer

The result is higher energy bills, longer compressor runtime, declining EER/COP, and premature equipment aging—even though the system is still running.

What Building Owners Are Looking For

As building owners and facility managers, you want:

• Lower HVACR energy consumption without replacing equipment

• A proven way to restore performance, not just clean coils

• Practical solutions to meet ESG and sustainability targets

• Longer asset life and reduced maintenance costs

You need a solution that improves heat transfer, not just appearance.

Radiant+ E3 Coating System — The Smarter Solution

Radiant+ Coating System

Radiant+ E3 Coating System is a water-based coating that is designed to restore and enhance efficiency of HVACR and refrigeration coils. It uses a coil surface energy management technology to achieve higher efficiency of the coils.

Applied directly to aluminium and copper heat-exchange surfaces, Radiant+ E3 is foul-resistant to rehabilitate degraded coils so they perform like new—and in many cases, even better.

It is suitable for existing systems (retrofit) and new installations, with minimal downtime.

How Radiant+ E3 Coating System Works

Radiant+ E3 improves HVACR efficiency by enhancing all three heat-transfer mechanisms:

Improved efficiency

Corrosion and fouling create thermal resistance.

Radiant+ E3 forms an ultra-thin (10–15 micron) layer that allows heat to move more efficiently from refrigerant to air—reducing compressor effort and energy use. It is foul-resistant to prevent further contamination on the coil surfaces.

Improved Airflow & Convection

Rough, corroded fins disrupt airflow.

Radiant+ E3 Coating System:

  • Smooths damaged surfaces
  • Reduces air-side resistance
  • Keeps fin passages cleaner for longer

Improved airflow means fans and compressors work less for the same cooling output.

Superior Water & Condensate Management

  • Water films act as thermal insulation.
  • Radiant+ E3 Coating creates an advanced super-hydrophobic surface, allowing condensate to shed instantly. This keeps fins dry, improves heat exchange, and reduces corrosion and biofouling.

Why Better Efficiency Means Lower Energy Bills

When efficiency improves:

  • Compressor runtime shortens
  • Discharge pressure drops
  • Fan power decreases
  • System efficiency (EER/COP) increases

Independent testing and real-world installations have shown:

  • Restoration of lost efficiency
  • Measurable coil temperature reduction
  • Energy savings of 6 - 30%, depending on system type and condition

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Radiant+ Coating System?

Radiant+ Coating System is a direct to metal water-based coating that has been specifically formulated to adhere to aluminium and copper.  It comprises of several unique raw materials incorporating a combination of proprietary formulation and blending IP that include activated resins, proprietary catalysts and proprietary blending techniques

How long does it take to apply Radiant+ Coating System?

Generally, when working on the ground without using lift or scaffolding, 4 - 6 fin-coils of up to 3 sqm in area can be coated on both sides in 8 hour-work. 

Do we need to shut down the system for application of Radiant+ Coating System?

Yes. This is for safety reason. Hence we will closely coordinate with the owners of the HVACR systems to work on convenient date and time for the shut-down.

How does Radiant+ Coating System help to save energy?

By coating Radiant+ Coating System deploys a coil surface enregy management technolgy on the surface of the fin-coils of the condenser unit and the cooling coils, Radiant+ Coating System

  1. enhances the heat transfer by improving airflow and efficiency after the cleaning.
  2. The fouling resistance and asset protection technologies provide efficiency enhancement and lengthen the lifespan of the assets.
  3. The hydrophobicity of the coating reduces contamination, water retention and/or icing on exposed surfaces/coil fins. Results in maintained efficiency over longer periods.

With enhanced efficiency, the refrigeration cycles and the heat exchanges for cooling/warming become more efficient, empowering the energy efficiency.

How is energy consumption measured?

The energy consumption is measured generally with

  1. A wifi/cellular energy meter is connected to the power supply of the system to measure the energy consumption.
  2. A thermo-hygrometer is used to measure the ambient temperature to register the weather condition.
  3. A therm-hygrometer is placed each at the return air and supply air to measure the heat energy of the flowing air through the cooling coil. Or thermometer is place each at the return water and supply water of the chiller. This is to measure the cooling load.
  4. The coefficient of performance of the system is then computed against the ambient temperature. 

How long does Radiant+ Coating System last?

The protective nature of the coating is expected to last for more than 5 years.  Generally longer is expected.
