STEAM COILS AND STEAM AIR HEATERS

Steam Coils

Steam Coils are used in both industrial and HVAC

applications. Finned tubes are almost always used in steam
coil applications. A steam coil is used to heat air when steam
is available. This type of coil makes use of the latent heat that
is released by the steam when it condenses so it is a very
effective way of heating air.  

Our steam coils are made with heavy walled copper tubes and
headers, and are available with a variety of connection
locations and casing options to meet any mounting
configuration. The Standard Steam coil are suitable for wide
range of heating applications such as preheat, boosters,
reheat, duct heaters, process air & gas and many more.

For replacement steam coils or those needing to fit specific dimensions, our wide range of
coil and tube sizes, fin spacing, and coil connection types allow for a drop-in coil fit. We can
match existing size and performance of coils.

Steam Air Heaters

A Steam Air Heater (also referred to as Steam Coil Air Heaters) consists of a frame which houses
one or more steam coils. The frame is installed in ducting and each steam coil is individually
removable from the frame so that they can be cleaned, repaired, or replaced without disturbing the
ducting. A Steam Air Heater is usually applied in applications where there is a large heat load and
multiple steam coils are required to meet the duty. In applications with a large heat load, a bank of
several steam coils is often a better solution than one large steam coil because large steam coils
are susceptible to performance problems due uneven steam distribution and they are difficult to
handle during installation and removal. Any combination of the steam coils listed above can be
use in a steam air heater.

 Boiler Air Preheater  Recovery Boiler

 Power Boiler  Flue Gas Reheater
