Spine Fin Coils on Trane Condensers

[Clorox]

A friend said that Trane Spine Fin Coils look like Snowflakes.

That this "snowflake" grabs dirt, dust, hair, anything like a brush, which is very hard to clean.

He said other coil types grab dirt like a comb, and they are easier to clean because of the coil type.

One guy said to NEVER point a hose of water at Trane coils, because you will bend them accidentally.

Are Trane spine fin coils this fragile?

Trane's spine fin coil are much harder and more time consuming to clean...

however, they are no more fragile than your typical coil. If anything, they last a lot longer than a typical copper coil.

Amen Brother!

If regularly maintained (like any system should be), spine fins provide a better efficiency than a fine finned coil. Found some that had been neglected by ignorance and they were harder to clean, but kerosene and hand grenades will fix anything.

You can use a hose on them, just be reasonable with the setting and pressure
