Refrigerant Coils

Refrigerant Coils

Refrigerant coils (Direct Expansion or DX coils) are high-precision components where a phase change occurs to facilitate cooling. Alpha Coil focuses on thermal balance, ensuring the refrigerant is distributed evenly across all circuits for maximum efficiency.

  • DX Evaporator Coils: As the liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gas within the tubes, it absorbs vast amounts of heat from the air. We utilize sophisticated “interlaced” or “face-split” circuiting to ensure the entire coil face remains cool, preventing uneven temperature gradients. Our DX coils are custom-calculated to match your existing compressor capacity, preventing liquid slugging and protecting your system’s hardware.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General Questions

The most accurate way is to provide us with the original manufacturer’s part number or the model number of the air handling unit. If that information is unavailable, our team can guide you through a field-measurement process or provide a measurement template to ensure an “Exact-Fit” replacement.

Yes. We specialize in “OEM-Equivalent” replacements. We maintain a vast database of specifications for major brands, allowing us to manufacture coils that match or exceed the performance of the original equipment at a more competitive price point and often with faster lead times.

A picture of the coil tag is best. If coil tag is not available, we can provide a drawing to note your coil details. We typically need the coil type (water, steam, DX, etc.), dimensions (finned height, finned length, and number of rows), fins per inch (FPI), and the material requirements for the tubes, fins, and casing.

While we provide comprehensive help for self-measurement, we can also coordinate with local mechanical contractors or technicians to assist in complex site surveys for large-scale retrofits or highly specialized industrial applications.

Absolutely. Replacement is the perfect time to upgrade. If your original coil failed prematurely due to corrosion, we can upgrade your new coil to stainless steel, cupro-nickel, or add a specialized protective coating.

Because all HVAC systems have unique dimensions and performance requirements, our coils are “built-to-order.”
