QuickTest Inhibitor – a quick check of the anti-corrosion protection of HVAC installations
Is the system’s inhibitor still working at the proper level? QuickTest Inhibitor is a Procold test strip that allows you to quickly check the level of corrosion protection in HVAC systems using AQUACORR OAT+ and AQUAPRO WOAT+. You’ll get the result in just one second.
Simply applying a corrosion inhibitor doesn’t eliminate the need to protect the system. During operation, the system may be refilled, serviced, diluted, or exposed to contaminants. All of these can impact the level of corrosion protection.
That’s why regular inspection of the working fluid is so important in heating, cooling, and HVAC systems. Without it, it’s difficult to assess whether the system is still adequately protected against corrosion, deposits, and decreased efficiency.
QuickTest Inhibitor facilitates this type of monitoring during the daily work of installers and service technicians. It’s a simple tool that can be kept on hand during inspections, system commissioning, or periodic inspections.
Why is inhibitor control in an HVAC system so important?
HVAC systems often operate in demanding conditions. Variable temperatures, varying construction materials, long operating times, and large system volumes mean that the quality of the working fluid directly impacts the safety of the entire system.
A properly selected corrosion inhibitor helps reduce the risk of corrosion and deposit formation. However, its presence in the system should be regularly verified.
A lack of control can lead to a situation where the installation appears to be secure, but the level of protection is no longer sufficient. In practice, this can mean a greater risk of corrosion, system contamination, reduced heat transfer efficiency, and operational problems.
Therefore, monitoring of anti-corrosion protection should be a permanent element of installation servicing.
QuickTest Inhibitor – what is it?
QuickTest Inhibitor are test strips designed to quickly check the level of anti-corrosion protection in HVAC installations.
The product is dedicated to systems working with:
- AQUACORR OAT+– organic corrosion inhibitor,
- AQUAPRO WOAT+– anti-corrosion water for installations.
The biggest advantage of the strips is their speed of action. The response time is only 1 second, so the inspection can be performed efficiently during a standard service visit.
This solution is particularly useful for installers, service technicians and those responsible for maintaining the efficiency of heating, cooling and HVAC installations.
How does QuickTest Inhibitor support daily service work?
In a service technician’s work, time, repeatability, and the ability to quickly assess the condition of the installation are key. QuickTest Inhibitor allows you to easily incorporate corrosion protection testing into your routine maintenance activities.
Instead of relying solely on the assumption that an inhibitor has been applied in the past, you can quickly check whether the level of protection is still adequate.
This is especially important when:
the installation was topped up with water,
service work was carried out on the ship,
the system has been running unchecked for a long time,
sediments or impurities have appeared in the installation,
the facility manager wants to have greater certainty about the condition of the medium.
QuickTest Inhibitor helps you quickly identify the need for further diagnostics or service.
The 4 most important advantages of QuickTest Inhibitor strips
1. Result in 1 second
The biggest advantage of QuickTest Inhibitor is its very fast response time. The result is obtained after 1 second, which significantly facilitates control in service conditions.
This is a practical solution wherever efficient operation and quick decisions are important.
2. Dedicated solution for AQUACORR OAT+ and AQUAPRO WOAT+
The straps are compatible with Procold products:
AQUACORR OAT+ and AQUAPRO WOAT+.
This makes them part of a coherent system for protecting installations. They are not a random, general-purpose test, but a tool tailored to specific Procold anti-corrosion solutions.
3. Greater installation safety
Regular monitoring of the level of anti-corrosion protection helps reduce the risk of operating the installation without proper protection.
This is particularly important in systems involving dissimilar metals, large volumes of media or high requirements for operational reliability.
Checking with QuickTest Inhibitor strips can be a simple preventative measure that helps avoid more serious operating problems.
4. Practical packaging – 5 pieces
QuickTest Inhibitor is available in a compact package containing 5 test strips.
This convenient solution for your service bag allows you to always have the product on hand and use it during inspections, system checks, or customer visits.
Who are QuickTest Inhibitor strips for?
QuickTest Inhibitor was created for people who are responsible for the efficiency and safety of HVAC installations on a daily basis.
This solution is especially useful for:
Installers– as a quick control tool after commissioning or during operation of the installation.
Service technicians– as part of routine diagnostics and periodic inspections.
Facility managers– as support in maintaining the installation in good condition.
HVAC and maintenance companies– as a practical tool for controlling the quality of the medium in the system.
Regular inspections provide greater certainty that the installation is actually protected, and not just secured at the first filling stage.
When is it worth performing a QuickTest Inhibitor test?
It’s worth checking regularly, especially as part of periodic system inspections. A good time to use strips is also any situation where the composition of the working medium may have changed.
In practice, it is worth using QuickTest Inhibitor:
after completing the system,
after service work,
before the heating or cooling season,
after flushing the installation,
when there is suspicion of dilution of the medium,
during periodic inspection of the HVAC installation.
This allows you to quickly assess whether the level of corrosion protection requires further verification or correction.
QuickTest Inhibitor as an element of preventive HVAC installations
In modern approaches to system maintenance, prevention is becoming increasingly important. It’s not just about responding to failures, but also about regularly monitoring parameters that impact system durability.
QuickTest Inhibitor strips fit precisely this approach. They are a small tool that can help quickly assess one of the key aspects of installation safety – the level of corrosion protection.
Combined with a properly selected inhibitor, proper water quality and regular monitoring of medium parameters, QuickTest Inhibitor helps maintain the installation in good condition for a long time.
