HVAC Components Every Engineer Should Know

Behind every coil is a set of components that decide how well it flows and performs. Knowing them helps you spec and troubleshoot.

Here are the essentials.

Headers

Headers distribute and collect fluid across the coil's circuits. Even flow depends on good header design. AGH manufactures headers to drawing.

Distributors

In DX coils, the distributor splits refrigerant evenly among circuits. Poor distribution starves parts of the coil and cuts capacity.

U-bends and return bends

These connect tube passes into continuous circuits. Clean brazing here is essential to prevent leaks.

Sub-assemblies

Manufacturers and integrators often need brazed sub-assemblies made to spec. AGH supplies these to OEMs and integrators.
