Can easily be found with a little work. The two outdoor air conditioners that you see on this page obviously need to be replaced and those air conditioners probably should have been replaced a long time ago. The fins around the coils were eaten away by the salts and liquid from dogs urinating on them.

The reason they corroded is because the Freon coils are made of copper and the cooling fins are made of aluminum. When two dissimilar metals are combined and as a liquid crosses both of them a tiny electrical current is generated. That current causes the weaker of the two metals to corrode faster than the other metal. The aluminum fins are not as strong as the copper coils, so they give out first. The copper follows and typically an air conditioning system like this experience a total failure.

But Most Leaks Don’t Cause Total Air Conditioner Failure

Freon cools the compressor in the outdoor air conditioner and it also carriers the cylinder and scroll lubricating oil. If you run your air conditioner to low on the Freon it is like running your car engine without oil or water.
