Guidelines For Air Velocities

by Dan Jacobs, March 25, 2026

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.

Steam Distributing Coils (Non-Freeze)

by Dan Jacobs, January 20, 2026

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.

Chilled Water Coils – Circuiting Made Easy

by Dan Jacobs, December 3, 2025

Circuiting chilled water coils is really a balancing act of tube velocity and pressure drop. In other words, think of a coil as a matrix. Each coil has a specific number of rows, and a specific number of tubes within each row.
