A module for preventing barnacle formation in a marine air-conditioning system. The module comprises: i) a source of irradiating light for killing or stunning barnacle larvae; ii) a pipe assembly; and iii) a coating applied to a wall of an interior chamber of the pipe assembly, wherein the coating enhances the maintenance of photons in the irradiating light. The pipe assembly comprises an interior chamber, an input neck configured to be coupled to an input pipe and to direct an incoming water flow into the interior chamber, and an output neck configured to be coupled to an output pipe and to direct an outgoing water flow from the interior chamber. The pipe assembly further includes a third neck configured to receive the source of irradiating light and to direct the irradiating light into the interior chamber of the pipe assembly.
