The benefits of using stainless steel for steam distributing coils

Steam distributing coils are often used in harsh environments, so the choice of stainless steel for steam distributing coils makes sense. Steam distributing coils have a tube-in-tube design, making them less likely to freeze even in below-freezing weather. The steam in the inner tube keeps the condensate in the outer tube from freezing.  

Steam is inexpensive and simple to move from the boiler to the point of use. It also produces a high amount of energy at a constant temperature when it condenses. Stainless steel has high tensile strength and durability, adding to the performance of steam distributing coils, which are designed to withstand low temperatures, preheating, and process applications.

 Making steam distributing coils out of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion, means the coils will hold up well in harsh and corrosive environments. Because salt is corrosive, having steam distributing coils made of stainless steel in seaside areas or offshore is a good choice. Stainless steel is a good option for industries including oil & gas, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical.

 Emergent Coils provides steam distributing coils to meet your exact specifications, often at a fraction of the cost of a new coil from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Our coils come with a variety of tube, fin and material options.
