AIR-HEATING COILS

but the apparatus assembly may include means for humidifi cation and air cleaning. Steam or hot water are the usual heat ing media, although other media are used in special cases,- eg.; glycols or the discharge gas from a refrigerating system.
For proper performance of steam heating coils, condensate and air or other noncondensables must be rapidly eliminated and the .steam.must be uniformly distributed !to the indi vidual tubes. Noncondensable 'gases; such as carbon dioxide,

remaining in a!coil, cause chemical corrosion and result in early coil failure.
. The cods described in this chapter are eztended-extrface
Uniform steam distribution is accomplished by different
cods. The heat transfer surface consists.of (1). the'primary methods such as:>
surface and (2) the secondary.surface. . The primary surface is the surface of the round tubes.br pipes, which are arranged in a repetitive pattern with respect to the air flow. ...
The secondary surface (fins) consists of thin metal plates or a spiral ribbon uniformly spaced or wound along the length of the primary surface, and in intimate contact with it for good heat transfer from primary to secondary surface. ,
, The, bond between secondary and primary surface .is-a most important factor in the performance of extended-surface
1. Individual orifices in the tubes.
*. y:.
2. Distributing plates in the steam headers.
3. Special perforated small diameter inner steam distributing
tubes extending into the larger diameter tubes of the primary
surface.
Coils of the perforated inner tube type are constructed with
different arrangements such as:
r
o. Supply and return on one end,' with the miming steam
used to heat the leaving condensate.-
.
b. Supply and return on opposite ends.
c. Supply and return on one end and a supply on the opposite
cods..This bond must be maintained permanently to assure continuation of rated performan
The heat transfer bond may be achieved in numerous ways
among.which bonding tiia fma to the tubes mechanically .is employed, most frequently. The bonding is generally ac
complished by grpwdtng the tubes into the tube holes in the
fins to obtain a permanent mechanical bond. The tube holes
are frequently provided with-a formed fin collar, which pro
vides the area of thermal contact and may.serve as a m^ans
of spacmg.the fins uniformly along the length of the tubes., i . _ The fins of-spiral or ribbon-type fin cods are tension-wound
onto the tubes. In addition, an alloy with;low melting point,
such as solder, may be used to provide a metallic;bond .be
tween fins and tube. Some types of spiral fins are knuriwd into
a.shallow groove on the exterior of the tube. Sometimes the . fius are formed out of .the mntrin1 of the tube itself. s
The. fin designs most frequently used for heating coils are fiat plate fins, plate fins,of special shape, and spiral or ribbon
fins, ad shown in Fig. 1 of .Chapter 34..

- Coils''arranged as' described in Item 3a are sometimes
referred to as non-freeze type. Particular (fare in piping,' controls,`arid, installation is neces
sary to protect tiie coils from freere-up due to incomplete
draining of condensate. '' ':
Properly designed' and selected rieam distribution" tube
coils distribute toe steam throughout the entire length of all
primary tubes, even when the leaving air temperature is con
trolled by modulating the'steam'supply through a' steain-
metering valve. Thus more uniform leaving air temperatures
are produced over the entire, length^and'face of'^the'coil than would result when using a stogle-tube:coiL
When the entering air temperature is 32 F or lower, uniform
leaving'air temperature is the first prerequirite' for protecting
the condensate from freesing. For positive 'freeze' protection;
the modulating valve must be so controlled, that the inside
heat transfer surface temperature is always above''the free
ing temperature. : . .
