Water Coils

Water Coils

Water coils serve as the backbone of modern hydronic HVAC systems and industrial process cooling. These coils facilitate the precise transfer of energy between a liquid medium (typically water or a glycol-water mixture) and the airstream. Alpha Coil specializes in “Exact-Fit” replacements, ensuring that our custom designs match the performance curves and physical footprints of any legacy OEM system.

  • Chilled Water Coils: Designed for high-performance cooling and dehumidification, our chilled water coils are optimized to handle the latent heat loads of humid environments. We utilize staggered tube patterns to increase air turbulence and surface contact, ensuring maximum thermal exchange. Our engineering team can adjust row depths and fin density to meet the specific “leaving air temperature” required for your facility.
  • Hot Water Coils: Engineered for heating applications in central air systems and branch ductwork, our hot water coils are built to withstand the rigors of thermal cycling. We utilize heavy-duty headers and reinforced tube-to-header joints to accommodate the expansion and contraction that occurs as water temperatures rise, ensuring a leak-free lifecycle and consistent heating performance.
  • Booster Coils (Reheat Coils): These high-response coils are designed for localized temperature management, typically installed in VAV boxes or terminal units. By providing “reheat” capability, they allow for independent zone control without affecting the main AHU settings. Our booster coils feature compact casing designs and optimized circuiting to provide rapid response times for modern office and healthcare layouts.

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.”
