General;There are basically two types of heat reclaim
coils used for refrigeration jobs:- 1. The heat reclaim coil
in series with an outside condenser. 2. The heat reclaim
coil in parallel with the outside condenser .
Systern 1 Usually this type of coil is designed to recover
a maximum of 50% of the total heat of rejection, the
balance then being handled by the outside condenser.
Because the heat reclaim coil is in series with the
outside condenser , the refrigerant pressure drop through
the coil must be kept to a minimum. It is desirable to
feed as many face tubes on the coil as possible to
obtain this low pressure drop. Self-draining circuiting is
also desirable when using this arrangement. When used
in a series condensing system this type of heat reclaim
coil is referred to by KeepRite Refrigeration as a
“Desuperheater type coil”, although some condensing
may also take place. A typical series system is shown
in Fig 1.
FIG. 2 PARALLEL CONDENSERS
System 2 This type of system will require the heat reclaim
coil to handle 100% of the total heat of rejection. Coil will
perform as the main condenser when heat is required.
When there is no heat demand the total heat of rejection
will be directed to the outside unit. This application of heat
reclaim is known as a “Condenser type” and will be circuited
in the same manner as any condenser. A typical parallel
system is shown in Fig. 2. A parallel system may also
utilize less than 100% of Total Heat of Rejection, by
installing a by pass line to the main condenser .
GENERAL INFORMATION
Tables 1 and 2 may be used to select the coil sizes
compatible with specific KeepRite air handling units.
T able 1 indicates the sizes and face areas of T ype HR
insert type coils as used in KLS and KHD units. Table 2
indicates the coil sizes and face areas of type KC coils
bolted to the KHF fan head.
GENERAL INFORMATION (cont’d.)
It must be remembered that in models KLS 237 thru 164 air
handlers, two cooling coils are used. It is therefore possible
condensing system. T otal heat of rejection is 800,000
BTU/hr., 400,000 BTU/hr will be used for heat reclaim.
Condensing temperature is 1 10 °F , entering air is 65°F.

HEAT RECLAIM SELECTION FORM
T o assist in the selection of heat reclaim coils, the KeepRite
Condenser Heat Reclaim Coil Selection Sheet may be used.

=
10,600
= 37.73 BTU/hr/C.F.M.
(See back cover.) For multiple compressor applications, the
BTU/Hour capacity for each unit may be tabulated.
Correction factors for T otal Heat of Rejection should be
applied from Chart 6. Actual tubes required to handle the
heat of rejection of each compressor may also be
calculated and listed. It should be noted when using 3 or 4
Row coils as Desuperheater type coils on a series system
that there will be one less tube in the face due to the free
drainage circuiting. A typical calculation is shown on
Page 7.
STEP 3. Temperature difference is 45°F. (Cond. Temp.
minus ent. air temp.). Refer to Chart 2. Using a 6 Row Coil,
10 F.P.l. at 500 F.P.M. note that the available capacity is
38.3 BTU/hr./C.F.M. This is close to the required capacity
and will be satisfactory .
