The Eurovent Certified Performance (ECP) programme scope for Coils (COIL) applies to Forced Circulation Air Cooling and Heating Coils operating:
This programme does not cover the heat recovery applications.
Whenever a company participates in the programme for coils, all heat recovery systems that are promoted by the applicant/participant to end-users, specifiers, trading companies, contractors by means of paper or electronic catalogue, price list or software within the scope of the programme, shall be certified. This is done in accordance with the Technical Certification Rules and includes all models in modular ranges. For the coils programme, the certify-all requirement is applicable not only to the European market but worldwide also, and is defined in the Certification Manual.
Coils are a refrigeration system component, for use in buildings and processes, that enable the transfer of heat between two different mediums, without mixing or being in direct contact. Coils can be used for cooling or heating, by transferring thermal energy (sensible or total) between the surrounding air and the refrigerant, or liquid within the coil.
Coils are tubular heat exchangers, with or without extended surfaces, for use in an airflow, circulated by fans. Copper tubes are filled with a refrigerant (either water, +0-50% ethylene glycol or propylene glycol mix), with the outside of the tubes usually in contact with aluminum fins, to provide a large surface area to enable the exchange of heat with the surrounding air. Energy is conducted through the tube wall to the fins, which transfers energy between the fins and the air via convection.
In the coils programme only forced circulation air cooling and heating coils are certified. Coil types include:
Forced-circulation air-cooling coil
An air-cooling coil through which a cooling fluid is circulated for the purpose of the sensible cooling, or sensible cooling and dehumidification of a forced circulation air flow. It includes all components necessary for the distribution and collection of the cooling fluid.
Forced-circulation air-heating coil
An air-heating coil through which a heating fluid is circulated for the purpose of the sensible heating of a forced-circulation airflow. It includes all components necessary for the distribution and collection of the heating fluid.
Coils can be used in a wide range of applications including residential, commercial and industrial. They can come in a range of sizes, materials and specialist coatings, depending on their use in buildings and processes.
While exploring our certified products you’ll come across a number of technical terms relating to certification. The below definitions help explain the search criteria in our certified product directory.
Certified product types in the coils programme have the following search criteria in common.
Brand
Brand name of the manufacturer.
