Cooling Season is Coming: Is Your Facility Ready?

by | Mar 5, 2025 | Coils

With the heavy demand on hot water, chilled water, steam, and refrigerant coils, proper maintenance is essential—not just for efficiency but also to prevent unexpected breakdowns during the peak of summer. Getting a jump on maintenance now can help you avoid delays, costly emergency orders, and the headache of replacing a coil when you need cooling the most. Follow our coil maintenance checklist to keep your system running at peak performance.

Understanding Different Types of Cooling Coils

Chilled Water Coils

Chilled water coils cool the air by circulating chilled water through the coil. They can be constructed with different numbers of rows, typically between 3-10, affecting their depth and efficiency.

Direct Expansion (DX) Coils

DX coils cool air directly by circulating refrigerant through the coil. Unlike chilled water coils, these require a refrigerant distributor instead of a hydronic feed, making them ideal for refrigeration systems.

Cooling Season Prep

1. Inspect Coils for Damage & Debris

Before turning up the cooling, give your coils a thorough inspection:

Look for dirt, corrosion, or bent fins.
Use a fin comb to straighten any bent fins. If extremely smashed or bent, you’ll want to order a new coil to avoid performance loss.
Check for leaks, especially around connection points.
Inspect chilled water coils for freeze damage. Bulged and split areas, especially at the return bends, indicate past freezing issues. These often go unnoticed in winter when the coils aren’t in use. Learn more about why fluid coils freeze and how to prevent it: Read here

Pro Tip: Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.

2. Check and Replace Coils

Sometimes, coils become damaged or inefficient over time. Old or failing coils can lead to higher energy bills and decreased cooling performance. Replacing HVAC coils before the cooling season is crucial to stress-free summer cooling.

Cooney Coil & Energy can design and manufacture replacement coils for any HVAC system. Our Form, Fit & Function Guarantee ensures that our replacement coils fit accurately and function seamlessly. Need a quick replacement for a critical area? We offer expedited coil production and shipping options, including 2-day, 5-day, and 10-day services. Call our team for availability at (610) 783-1136.

3. Clean Coils and Drain Pans

Dirty coils can strain your system, leading to higher energy costs and reduced performance. Cleaning your HVAC coils and drain pans before the cooling season is essential for optimal functioning:

Remove dust and debris to enhance heat transfer.
Flush drain lines with a disinfectant or vinegar-water mixture to prevent clogs and water damage.
Ensure proper airflow by keeping coils free of obstructions.

Did You Know? Clean coils can improve energy efficiency by up to 30%!

4. Verify Refrigerant Levels

For facilities using refrigerant coils, ensuring the correct charge is essential. If your system isn’t cooling effectively, check for:

Refrigerant leaks
Proper pressure levels
Correct charge

Reminder: Only licensed professionals should handle refrigerant recharges and leak repairs.

5. Inspect Fans & Airflow

Ensure your system is moving air efficiently by:

Checking condenser and evaporator fan motors.
Listening for unusual noises.
Ensuring no obstructions are blocking airflow.

Cooling Coils Decoded: Your Guide to Staying Cool with Cooney Coil & Energy

by Caitlin B. | Jun 4, 2024 | Coils

As we step into the heat of summer, let’s take a moment to appreciate the little heroes that keep our facilities comfortable, cooling coils. These vital components of HVAC systems have an enormous job – transferring heat and maintaining the desired temperature in our spaces.

Understanding Different Types of Cooling Coils

Chilled Water Coils

Chilled water coils are a popular type of cooling coil used in HVAC systems. They cool the air by circulating chilled water through the coil. These coils can be constructed with different numbers of rows, usually between 3-10, which affects their depth and efficiency.

Direct Expansion Coils

Direct expansion coils are another effective cooling solution. Used in refrigeration systems, these coils cool the air directly by circulating refrigerant through the coil. They function differently from chilled water coils, requiring a refrigerant distributor instead of a hydronic feed.

Cooling Season Prep

Checking and Replacing Coils

Sometimes, coils may become damaged or inefficient over time. Old or damaged coils can lead to higher energy bills and decreased cooling performance. Therefore, replacing HVAC coils before the cooling season is crucial to ensure efficient cooling.

Cooney Coil & Energy can design any coil to replace existing coils in HVAC systems, these are a lifeline when your OEM coils need a break. At Cooney Coil & Energy, we offer a Form, Fit & Function Guarantee on our replacement coils. This means we ensure they accurately fit and function seamlessly in your system, providing you with uninterrupted comfort.

If you have a cooling coil emergency, ask us about our expedite options! We can build and ship coils on 2-day, 5-day, and 10-day expedites. Call our team for availability at 610-783-1136.

Cleaning Coils and Drain Pans

Dirty coils can strain your system, leading to higher energy costs and reduced cooling performance. Cleaning your HVAC coils and drain pans before the cooling season is essential for optimal functioning. Regular cleaning helps reduce dust, dirt, and debris accumulation, ensuring effective heat transfer. Additionally, cleaning drain pans and lines prevents water damage by ensuring a smooth flow of water.

Choosing the Right Material

When it comes to cooling coils, the material matters. In chilled water coils, you’ll commonly find 5/8″ and 1/2″ tubes. Thicker 5/8″ tubes provide a slightly lower water pressure drop and longer lifespan. However, they can be pricier due to increased wall thickness. Performance-wise, both tube diameters are quite similar, so it’s a matter of balancing cost.

At Cooney Coil & Energy, we offer headers, casings, and fins in various materials, including aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and carbon steel. Your choice depends on specific factors like the environment and heat transfer properties. Rest assured, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
