Standard Water Velocity in a Copper Fin-Tube Coil
The standard water velocity in a copper fin-tube coil is selected to maintain a balance between heat transfer performance, pressure drop, noise level, and equipment durability. If the water velocity is too low, the flow inside the tube becomes weak and the heat transfer coefficient drops. In this condition, the water spends more time in the coil, but the internal mixing is insufficient, so heat is not transferred effectively. As a result, the coil cannot reach its expected thermal capacity, and...
