Make sure your chilled water coils don’t get clogged during hot summer months

Chilled water coils can get clogged with dirt, dust or other pollutants, causing a normally cool building to heat up during the summer months. In chilled water systems, the chiller unit is often installed behind the building or on the roof. Most chilled water coils have air entering the system at a temperature between 75°F to 95°F, and chilled water at a temperature of approximately 45°F. Chilled water coils typically run between 3 and 10 rows deeps to handle the extreme difference between the air and chilled water temperatures. The chilled water coil is usually made of copper tubing with aluminum fins, bent into an S shape, to increase the heat transfer area. Since chilled water coils become clogged relatively frequently, they need to be replaced quickly to keep the chilled water system running smoothly. Emergent Coils offers a wide variety of standard and custom chilled water coils to keep your building cool when the weather outside is too hot to handle.
