  • Patent number: 11788807
    Abstract: A method of cleaning an HVAC coil unit located above a drain basin. One step of the method involves providing a supply and collection assembly having a reservoir containing liquid cleaning solution, a pump operative to output the liquid cleaning solution through a supply outlet, and a vacuum source operative to draw in used liquid cleaning solution through a collection inlet. According to another step, a nozzle device in fluid communication with the supply outlet is also provided, the nozzle device having a delivery face. A further step involves providing a fluid return tool in fluid communication with the collection inlet, and positioning the fluid return tool in the drain basin. According to a further step, the delivery face of the nozzle device is moved across a surface of the HVAC coil unit to deliver the cleaning solution into areas between fins thereof.

  • Patent number: 11486663
    Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning HVAC cooling coils comprises a supply and collection assembly having a housing defining an interior space for containing a quantity of cleaning solution. A pump has a pump inlet positioned to be in fluid communication with the cleaning solution and is operative to deliver the cleaning solution to a supply outlet of the supply and collection assembly. A vacuum source has a vacuum inlet positioned to be in fluid communication with an ullage space above the quantity of cleaning solution such that the vacuum source creates negative pressure in the ullage space during operation. A collection inlet is in fluid communication with the ullage space such that the cleaning solution is returned to the interior space through the collection inlet during operation of the vacuum source. A nozzle device is in fluid communication with the supply outlet via outlet piping so as to deliver the cleaning solution to a surface of an HVAC coil unit.
