Chilled Water Cooling Coil

As cold water passes through the tubes of a coil the fin surface is cooled.

Chilled water cooling coil.

Chilled water coils typically consist of between 3 12 rows of tubes. Hot water coils are usually 1 or 2 rows and chilled water coils are usually 3 to 12 rows deep. Chilled water systems provide comfort cooling to industrial and commercial buildings all around the world. Furthermore cooling coils can be used for dehumidification purposes.

Covering chillers pump sets ahus risers primary and secondary systems cooling towers and bypass lines. Most chilled water coils have air entering the system at a temperature ranging from 75 f to 95 f return or outside air while chilled water enters the coil at a temperature around 42 45 f. The vast majority of chilled water coils are constructed from either 1 2 od tubes or 5 8 od tubes. This is a type of heat exchanger mostly used in commercial and industrial air handler units.

There is really no difference between hot water coils and a chilled water coils in construction. This allows the return water to temper the warmest entering air getting it closer to its set point prior to leaving the last row where it will see the coldest. Chilled water coils also known as hydronic cooling coils are typically used to cool or remove moisture from air streams. The air to be cooled moves through the fins and either water or an ethylene or propylene glycol solution move through the tubes.

Standard and custom designs are available for new and retrofit installations.

The entering warm air is then tempered as it passes over the fin surface of the coil.
