Features
RIPPLED FINS produce a rippled air flow pattern for
maximum heat transfer. These ripples also assure
permanent “fin-tube bond” through greater flexibility under
expansion and contraction.
ST AGGERED TUBES create air turbulence to give
maximum air side heat transfer.
MECHANICAL EXP ANSION BOND ensures permanent
metal to metal contact. (No low conductivity materials
used as a bonding agent).
FIN COLLARS are drawn wide and smooth to provide
maximum contact area.

COIL SELECTION
KSH Coils are a general purpose coil for reheat applications or when
outdoor air temperature is
above 35°F.
For applications where
modulating control is required and entering air is below freezing
“Type DT” coils should be used.
KSH Coils are not recommended for use with steam pressures
above 25 PSIG.
The following example outlines the procedure for determining the coil
size, fin spacing, rows deep, etc.

D. Determine Leaving Air Temperature
1. Actual Temp. Rise = Base Rise x Conv. Factor
2. Actual Temp. Rise @ 10 psig and 40°F. EA = 100 x .878 = 87.8°F
3. Leaving Air Temperature = 40° + 87.8° = 127.8°F.
E. Determine BTU/Hr. Capacity
1. BTU/Hr. Capacity = 1.09 x Temp. Rise x CFM
= 1.09 x 87.8 x 8000 = 766,000
F. Determine Lbs. of Condensate/Hr.
1 .Lbs. of Cond./Hr. =
Latent heat @ 10 PSIG 953
Total BTU/Hr. Capacity = 766.000
= 804
G. Determine Air Side Friction
1. Air Friction = .210 inches of water from Fig. 1
(or from Table 1 by interpolation).
COILS IN SERIES
Occasionally, it may be necessary to use two or more coils in series in
order to heat the air to the required final temperature. Likewise, if row
control is required, it would be necessary to furnish individual coils.
Suppose, in the preceding example, that it had been desired to have
a final air temperature considerably higher than 125°F. It would then
be necessary to select an additional coil or coils to place after the
first coil. In calculating the temperature rise through these additional
coils, the leaving air temperature of the first coil is used as the
entering air temperature to the second coil, etc. The method of
computation is identical to that previously shown.
DETERMINA TION OF MIXTURE AIR TEMPERA TURE
Air entering the coil is usually a mixture of both return air and fresh air.
Determine mixture air temperature per following example:
SPECIFIED:
Return Air Temperature...............................................................70°F.
Fresh Air Temperature.............................................................-200 F.
CFM (Return Air).........................................................................2000
CFM (Fresh Air)...........................................................................1000
REQUIRED:
Mixture Air Temperature (° F.)
SOLUTION:
MixtureAirTemp.=
(2000) x (70) + (1000) x (-20)
3000
= 140,000 + (-20,000) = 120,000 = 40°F.
