Chilled Water Finned Tube Coils
Chilled Water Finned Tube Coils are components used in HVAC systems for cooling. They consist of a series of tubes with external fins that increase surface area for heat transfer. Chilled water circulates through the tubes, transferring heat to the fins, which then dissipate it into the surrounding air. These coils are efficient in transferring large amounts of heat and are commonly used in air handling units, chillers, and other cooling applications.
