5052 Al and Galvanized steel

5052 Al and Galvanized steel

(OP)
I'm looking at replacing G90 galvanized steel sheet w/ 5052 Al sheet for heavy components in industrial air conditioners. Temps would be up to 60 C ambient, 35 C cold side, riveted construction. Moisture exposure would be mostly condensate or water washdown. Is this an OK combination? estimated replacement life is years.

I'm aware this could be a galvanic corrosion problem, but not sure how to evaluate the situation and support the decision.
