NEW – Capital Coil Measuring App
Receive screen by screen guide on measuring HVAC coils; enter and save your coil dimensions/selections; use the app to take and save pictures of coils; save project(s) to work on later, and/or send final selections through the CCA app to our sales team to review and price
Steam Distributing Coils (Non-Freeze)
Were you aware that Steam Distributing coils or “Non-Freeze” steam coils were essentially discovered by accident? At the inception of the HVAC industry, steam coils were originally designed to be shorter in length because there was not a good way to evacuate condensate. In an effort to make steam coils longer in length, the concept of a steam coil containing a tube within a tube was invented.
Guidelines For Air Velocities
Step # 1 in determining the size and performance of a coil is dependent upon understanding face velocities of air across the coil. Whether you use CCA’s coil selection program to help size the coil, or you are replacing an existing coil; the height, length and resulting velocity determine everything.
Why Are Fin Designs On HVAC Replacement Coils Important?
What is the point of understanding the importance of fins in HVAC replacement coils? While coils can be built with flat fins for various reasons, the vast majority of coils are built with enhanced fins. Enhanced fins help to ensure that the airflow is not running straight through the coil.
Condenser Coils Failing? Here’s probably why….
Very rarely do condenser coils ever freeze so the first thing you’re going to want to know is if your coil died of corrosion, old age, or possibly vibration. Old age is obviously preferable because with a few easy dimensions, we’ll have enough to price up your duplicate coil.
