On December 27, 2017 / distributing, steam, technicalpaper

What are Steam Distributing Coils or “No-Freeze Coils”? Steam distributing coils are designed to minimize the potential of freezing when the coil sees air temperature below 40˚F or operates on a system with modulating steam pressure. Steam Distributing coils insert an inner tube down the entire length […]
