Duct Booster Coils

Duct booster coils are heating or cooling coils that are installed in the ductwork to increase the temperature or coolness of the air flowing through the ducts. They are typically used in commercial and industrial HVAC systems to improve airflow and temperature regulation in areas that are far from the main heating or cooling source. Duct booster coils work by using a heat transfer process to add or remove heat from the air passing through them. They consist of a coil made of copper or aluminum tubing that is wrapped around a central core. The coil is filled with a heat transfer fluid, such as water or refrigerant, which absorbs or releases heat as it flows through the tubing. When the air passes over the coil, the heat transfer fluid inside the tubing either adds or removes heat from the air, depending on whether the coil is a heating or cooling coil. The air is then returned to the ductwork at a higher or lower temperature, depending on the desired effect. Duct booster coils can be customized to fit a wide range of duct sizes and airflow rates, and can be designed to operate using a variety of heat transfer fluids. They are typically installed by HVAC contractors who specialize in ductwork and can ensure that the system is properly sized and configured for optimal performance.
