Heating coils for furnaces are essential components used to generate heat in residential, commercial, and industrial heating systems. They are commonly found in gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pump systems.
Heating coils, also known as heat exchangers, are designed to transfer thermal energy from a heat source, such as natural gas or electricity, to the surrounding air. The coils are typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or copper, which has good thermal conductivity to ensure efficient heat transfer.
In gas furnaces, heating coils are part of the combustion process. Natural gas is burned in a burner assembly, and the resulting flames heat the metal coils. The heat is then transferred to the air that passes over the coils, which is then distributed throughout the building via a blower fan and ductwork.
Electric furnaces, on the other hand, use heating coils that are directly heated by an electric current. When electricity passes through the coils, they become hot and radiate heat into the surrounding air. The heated air is then circulated through the furnace and distributed throughout the building.
