Are your cooling coils keeping up with demand?

It’s important to make sure cooling coils keep up with demand as updates are made to buildings and equipment. Chilled Water Coils and Evaporator Coils that were designed to meet the workload when first installed could be insufficient to cool a building after changes are made, like additional offices and other workspaces. Take a look at your own building. Does the building now have more occupants, computer equipment, machinery, and lighting? Have there been any changes to doors, windows or the roof that would cause an increase in heat from the sun beating down on your building? It’s amazing how much heat floor-to-ceiling windows can generate if there are no shades to keep the midday sun out.

Emergent Coils can redesign a more efficient cooling coil to meet your new needs.As an example, if new sources of heat have been added, cooling coils with 4 or 6 rows may not be cutting it anymore. A redesigned cooling coil can do the trick by adding a few more rows or larger connections that allow for a better flow of water. Adding rows of tubes also increases the heat-transfer surface area.

Let’s say your old 10-ton chilled water coil is no longer putting out enough BTUs to handle all the new industrial equipment that was added to your manufacturing plant. New cooling coils are needed, but you aren’t sure of the exact specs necessary. We can come up with the perfect cooling coil design for your specific requirements using our specialty software and years of experience. In this case, we would design a cooling coil to take the current 120,000 BTUs up to 200,000 BTUs.
