Understanding a booster coil schedule

A booster coil is a hot water coil that is used for duct-mounted applications. Booster coils are commonly found in commercial buildings with large occupancy spaces and onsite boilers.

Our customers often get booster schedules from jobs they bid on. Selecting the best booster coils for these jobs begins with understanding the booster schedule. Let’s start by defining the abbreviations on the booster schedule:

FH - Fin HeightFL - Fin LengthRows - Number of tubes deepFPI - Fins Per InchMBH - 1,000 BTUs per hourEAT - Entering Air TempLAT - Leaving Air TempCFM - Cubic Feet per MinuteFPM - Feet Per MinuteAPD - Air Pressure DropFluid - Water, glycol or steamEFT - Entering Fluid TempLFT - Leaving Fluid TempGPM - Gallons Per MinuteFPD - Fluid Pressure DropConn - Connection sizeWeight - Dry weight of the coil

Now that you know what the abbreviations in your schedule mean, you can search for the right coil for your project online by going to the stock coil section of our website. You can search for booster coils using specifications, like Fin Height (FH), Fin Length (FL) and Rows. Once you narrow down your options, you can use the performance data listed for each booster coil to find the best fit.
