PWW Heating Coils for Duct Fans – Warm Water Air Heaters
What is a PWW heating coil?
A PWW heating coil (pumped warm water heating coil) is an air heating coil operated via an existing warm water circuit (e.g. central heating). By integrating it into the ventilation system, the air is efficiently tempered as it passes through a water-based heating coil.
Why use PWW heating coils?
When cold outdoor air is supplied to a building via duct fans, drafts or unwanted cooling can occur. Warm water air heaters prevent these effects by preheating the air before it enters the indoor spaces. This provides:
- ✓ pleasant supply air temperatures
- ✓ even heat distribution
- ✓ energy-efficient use of existing heating systems
- ✓ reduced load on the main heating system
How PWW heating coils work
The heating coils consist of aluminium fins on copper tubes through which warm water circulates. As the air flows through the coil, it is heated before entering the room. The pipe connections are standardized (usually 3/4" male thread), and the housing is made of galvanized steel sheet – robust, durable and easy to maintain.
Planning and installation tips
- Heating coils should be installed downstream of the fan in the direction of airflow to prevent overheating of the motor and fan.
- An upstream filter box protects the heating coil from dirt and maintains performance.
- The duct section between the fan and the heating coil should be at least 1 meter long to ensure even airflow.
- Weather protection and frost protection measures are important, especially for outdoor air supply.
