The heart of the Hubbell Instantaneous Steam fired water heater is a compact, highly efficient, and versatile spiral tube heating coil which
offers many advantages over a conventional "U" tube design including:
100% counterflow for heat-transfer rates up to 40% greater than equivalent straight tube exchangers.
Pressure drop is minimized.
Bourdon tube configuration that allows entire assembly to expand and contract without localized stresses. Failure from thermal shock or mechanical process is rare.
No baffles.
ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Certification standard.
Variety of materials available to suit specific applications.
Compact design for easy maintenance.
Parts in stock to prevent long and expensive down times.
