Best practice recommendations for steam coil air preheater construction. Tubes. Should have a minimum outer diameter (OD) of 1 inch and be made of 12-gauge carbon steel or 14-gauge stainless steel.

The function of a steam trap is to remove condensate and noncondensible gases as soon as they form. Because the purpose of steam heating coils is to transfer energy from the steam to the air, ...

Just as with water coils, steam coils can experience erosion corrosion from excessive tube-side velocity. Also, if condensate is allowed to remain in the coil and become subcooled during idle periods ...

2 Steam Distributing Coils 2.1. Steam heat and reheat coils may be horizontal tube. 2.2. Steam preheat coils are vertical tube, steam distributing type, in the draw through configuration with top ...

Both of these plants use rotary regenerative Ljungström APHs. Upstream of the APH are finned tube steam coil air preheaters (Figure 3). 3. Heating air.
