Selecting chilled water coils and hot water coils for an industrial plant

As I mentioned before, one way to protect coils from corrosion-causing materials is to apply coatings. Selecting the right materials for chilled water coils and hot water coils is also important.

All types of industrial plants require coils – chemical plants, water treatment plants, food processing plants … the list goes on and on. Regardless of the type of plant, corrosive materials (carbon and carbon compounds, chlorides, metal oxides, sulfates and sulfuric acid, etc.) are often found inside. These materials can lead to general corrosion and/or localized corrosion in coils, such as pitting and formicary corrosion.

When ordering chilled water coils and hot water coils for industrial plants, there are different materials to choose from. Selecting materials for water coils that are corrosion-resistant offer the most value, even if the initial investment is higher, because coils won’t need to be replaced as often. For example, stainless steel is best suited for use in oxidizing environments, where corrosion resistance is needed. We use stainless steel for tubes and fins.
