    This technical policy statement provides guidelines for selecting air handling unit coils. It recommends that frost coils and run-around coils used in air handling units have a wider fin spacing of 6mm or 4-5 fins per inch to prevent blocking from dirt and grime accumulation, as these coils are not protected by filters like other heater batteries. The document was prepared by the Engineering Team and endorsed by the Director of Building Projects and Director of Facilities Management to establish the preferred solution for coil selection at Imperial College.

    Air Handling Units – Fin Spacing of Frost Coils & Run-Around
    Coils

    Introduction

    Where air handling units have been specified for various projects it is often
    the case that standard type coils are selected for components such as frost
    coils and run-around (heat recovery) coils.

    These coils are not usually protected by filters and because of the close fin
    spacing tend to block very quickly with dirt and grime.

    Preferred Solution

    The Imperial College preferred solution to prevent the blocking of these coils
    shall be for designers to specify frost coils and run-around coils with a wider
    fin spacing.

    A typical fin spacing for these coils shall be 6mm (4 – 5 fins per inch). All other
    heater batteries shall be of standard fin spacing.

    Any queries relating to this Technical Policy Statement should be referred to


    the Engineering Manager.
