Steam Coils Steam Coils are used in both industial and HVAC applications. Finned tubes are almost always used in steam coil applications. A steam coil is used to heat air when steam is available. This type of coil makes use of the latent heat that is realeased by the steam when it condenses so it is a very effective way of heating air.

The frame is installed in ducting and each steam coil is individually removable from the frame so that they can be cleaned, repaired or replaced without disturbing the ducting. A Steam Air Heater is usually applied in applications where there is a large heat load and multiple steam coils are required to meet the duty. In applications with a large heat load, a bank of several steam coils is often a better solution than one large steam coil because large steam coils are susceptible to performance problems due uneven steam distribution and they are difficult to handle during installation and removal. Any combination of the steam coils listed above can be use in a steam air heater.
