Industrial Steam Distributing Coils

Model DS – Distributing Steam with Same End Connections

Steam distributing coils, also known as ‘non freeze steam coils’, are custom designed coils used to prevent freezing of steam condensate for coils that are used as preheaters for extreme temperatures. Most commonly, non-freeze coils are used in applications that may
see freezing air temperatures and/or with modulating steam pressure. These coils are usually recommended for entering air temperatures below 40°F. Model DS coild can be either 1-or-2-row with connections on the same end.

Custom Steam Distribution Coils Design

Non Freeze Steam coils feature an inner tube inside the primary tube for two reasons. The inner tube distributes the steam to the far end of the primary tube where the steam returns and condensed in the annular area between the tubes, and the inner tube also acts as a heat-trace to keep the primary tube from freezing. Advanced Coil custom designs non freeze coils & steam distributing coils with TIG welded tube side construction, and ASME ‘U’ stamp or CRN construction available upon request. Non Freeze Steam Coils, also known as Type DS coils, are available as both one-row and two-row deep coils with the steam feed connection and the condensate return connection on the same end.

Advanced Coil manufactures steam distribution coils in the following materials:
