Hot and Chilled Water Coils
1. Connect the water supply to the header connec-
tion on the leaving air side of the coil to achieve
thecounterowofwaterandair.Thereturnpipe
will be connected to the remaining coil connec-
tion.
2. Install an air vent in place of the top pipe plug on
the return header. To provide for drainage, install
a drain line and shutoff valve in the supply near
the coil, or in place of the plug in the supply con-
nection as shown in Figure 118 on page 75 and
Figure 119 on page 76.
Water Coil Performance
Full steam pressure of water ow must be
supplied at all times - modulating valves
must not be used. A modulating steam
valve or preheat coil can actually cause
the coil to retain condensate due to a re-
duced pressure in the coil thus exposing
condensate in the tubes to freezing condi-
tions. With modulating steam below 5 psig
(valve closure) the steam may not be fully
distributed in all of the tubes in the coil,
causing the outer tube to cool abnormally.
This will create thermal stress that can
lead to possible "outer tube failure".
The temperature rise of the air (hot water coil) or tem-
perature fall of the air (chilled water coil) leaving the
coil is dependent on the:
• Airowacrossthecoil,
• Gallonsofwaterowthroughthecoil,and
• Entering water temperature into the coil.
