Custom Standard Steam Coils.

Custom standard steam coils for commercial heating, replacement, and retrofit requests. Start with measurements of the existing coil or submit an existing drawing through the separate drawings pathway in Coil Brief.

What does a standard steam coil do?

A standard steam coil transfers heat from steam into the air passing across its fins. As steam gives up heat inside the tubes, it condenses into liquid water. The air leaves warmer, while the resulting condensate returns through the steam system.

The tubes carry steam and condensate, while the fins provide additional surface area for heat transfer. Standard Steam coils serve air handlers, ventilation equipment, and other commercial heating applications. The illustration shows one possible construction; connection arrangements and internal designs can vary.

Coil selection

What matters when selecting a Standard Steam coil?

The right coil depends on the heating requirement, steam conditions, condensate return, and installation requirements.

What to considerWhy it matters
Heating requirementHeating load and available airflow
Steam conditionsSupply pressure, temperature, and system requirements
Condensate returnConnection locations and return arrangement
Materials and environmentMaterial compatibility and environmental exposure
Fit and installation accessDimensions, mounting, connections, and removal space

Replacing an existing coil? Start with its measurements or drawing.

Operating data is not required to begin a measurement-based replacement request. The proposed internal construction is confirmed during review.

Casing

The formed frame supports and protects the coil. Galvanized steel and stainless steel casing options are reviewed against the application and approved drawing.

Header materials may include copper, copper nickel, stainless steel, or carbon steel. Final materials and construction are confirmed through the approved drawing.

Steam and condensate

Steam carries heat to the coil. Condensate is the liquid water formed as that heat is released.

  • Steam

    Steam is water in its vapor form. As it condenses inside the coil, it releases heat through the tube walls and fins into the passing air.

  • Condensate

    The liquid water formed when steam condenses is called condensate. It leaves the coil through the return connection and is handled by the system’s condensate-return equipment.

  • Steam distribution

    Standard steam and steam-distributing coils use different internal arrangements. Steam-distributing designs commonly use an inner tube to spread steam along the heating tube, supporting more even distribution.

The internal design and connection arrangement depend on the application and existing equipment.
