Steam exchange coil VC

These steam coils were specifically designed for air temperatures that are below freezing, to prevent the costly consequences of freezing condensate. The concept is to insert an open-ended shorter distribution tube within an outer fin tube thus allowing the condensate that is flowing in the annular clearance to be kept warm by the steam condensing in the distribution tube. The tubes are inclined in order to promote the condensate flow by gravity. Consequently, the type VC steam coils always have both their inlet and outlet connections at the same end of the coil. Installation may be horizontal or vertical. This type of steam coil is also ideal for conditions of operation with superheated steam.
