The protective coating acts as a layer against erosion, corrosion, and fouling associated with scale deposits. In this study, two laboratory test rigs were installed: one for the corrosion rate estimation and another for the evaluation of the heat transfer resistance. Three different types of epoxy resin were employed for coating tube surface interiors using different ratios of resin to solvent to produce varying coat thicknesses. The results obtained from the corrosion rate and heat transfer resistance measurements showed that the epoxy coating type (a) with a ratio of 2:1 epoxy to solvent efficiently reduced the corrosion rate to 21.1x10-2 mpy, achieving an efficiency of 92.2%. Additionally, the heat transfer resistance increased from 12.88x10-4 to 18.37x10-4 m2K/W compared to other coating types. This indicates the potential of specific epoxy coatings to significantly enhance the longevity and performance of copper alloy condenser tubes while preventing corrosion and improving heat transfer efficiency.
