Steam Coils
CRC manufactures custom and direct replacement steam coils engineered to fit air handling units from every major HVAC manufacturer — including units that have been out of production for decades. With a library of 100+ years of OEM engineering drawings and proprietary heat transfer data, CRC's team of dedicated engineers builds steam heating coils to exact performance specifications for both standard and high-pressure or low-pressure steam applications. Whether you need a steam coil for comfort heating in a commercial building or a precision-engineered coil for an industrial manufacturing process, CRC delivers unparalleled expertise and full accountability from quote to installation.
Steam is one the most reliable resources available for providing comfort heating in the commercial space. As a tried & true technology, it is common for Coil Replacement Company engineers to manufacture direct replacement steam distributing & heating coils for air handling units that are over 50 years old. More often than not, these units are no longer in production – that’s not a problem for us. CRC has 100+ years of engineering drawings and proprietary performance heat transfer information, with a myriad of OEM manufacturers’ coils, products and air house systems.
CRC has mastered direct OEM replacement coils for manufactures including, but not limited to, Aerofin, American Standard, Bohn, Carrier, Daikin, Lennox, Modine (formerly Heatcraft, Luvata), McQuay, Munters, Trane, Westinghouse, and York.

Specifications
Aside from comfort heating, steam distributing coils are also used in an array of unique manufacturing applications. To meet the performance required for these systems, we use certified engineering software to manufacture custom coils that will tolerate high-pressure or low-pressure steam.
CRC assigns a dedicated engineer to review, visit, measure, or consult (virtually) by analyzing your exact requirements. CRC then generates drawings, performance evaluations, and quotations – while taking responsibility for your coil and/or product solution. We deliver unparalleled service, allowing the mechanical contractor and end-customer to focus on their core assets and property management responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Steam Coils
Steam distributing coils are engineered to distribute steam more evenly across the full face of the coil, making them particularly well-suited for applications where entering air temperatures may drop below freezing and where consistent heat distribution across the coil face is critical. Standard steam heating coils are used for general comfort heating applications. CRC manufactures both standard and distributing steam coil configurations, available in multiple connection arrangements.
Yes. CRC maintains a library of 100+ years of OEM engineering drawings and proprietary heat transfer performance data. Even if your original steam coil was manufactured by a company no longer in production — such as Aerofin, Bohn, or Westinghouse — CRC can engineer a direct replacement that matches the original fit and performance specifications.
CRC manufactures steam coils in five configurations: Standard Same End Connected, Standard Opposite End Connected, Distributing Dual Supply, Distributing Same End Connected, and Distributing Opposite End Connected. Engineering drawings for each configuration are available for download.
Yes. CRC uses certified engineering software to manufacture custom steam coils engineered to tolerate both high-pressure and low-pressure steam systems, depending on the specific performance requirements of your application.
