Commercial Coils vs.

Industrial Coils

The best performance you can get out of a commercial HVAC coil is with copper
tubes/aluminum fins. Most people don’t realize that when you change the materials of
construction to an industrial coil, there’s always a drastic change the performance. The
explanation is really quite simple. When we build a stainless steel or 90/10 cupro-nickel
coil, the materials don’t match up in terms of heat transfer to copper tubes/aluminum fins.
If you have a 4 row chilled water coil with copper tubes/aluminum fins, and you want to
change to stainless steel, you will need an 8 row coil to meet that same performance.

So when should you bump up construction materials? The most common is with high
pressure applications. Anything above 200 psig and you absolutely need to change
construction materials from copper tube/aluminum fin. The other instances are when
you’re dealing with high temperatures or corrosive atmospheres.

Capital Coil & Air manufactures and designs a wide assortment of heavy-duty industrial
coils to withstand the environment of industrial applications. Standard and custom
designs are available for new and retrofit installations. Our industrial coils are
manufactured from quality materials that are heavier grades and thicknesses. This
ensures dependable performance and longevity, even in the most demanding conditions.
While most manufacturers throw out astronomical prices or lead times that can better be
explained as “months” rather than weeks, Capital Coil offer most jobs done in 3-4 weeks
for cupro-nickel and 4-5 weeks for stainless steel.

Whether it’s for boiler air preheating, pulp and paper drying process, lumber drying
process, textile drying process, chemical heating process, Capital Coil & Air provides
high quality industrial coils designed for easy maintenance and low operating costs. With
capabilities to build fluid coils for water, glycol, oil, and other liquids as well as
refrigerant coils and steam coils for high pressures, we can easily meet all of your
industrial coil requirements!
