	there is a good segment on tank coils in the Chemical engineer's handbook. I don't think you need anything else.

	Another quick information resource is the Crane Valve "Engineering Data" catalog, which has a couple of pages on pipe coil design and fabrication. Crane used to hand these out as a free-be, mine is dated 1976. Some factors to consider 1. oversize rather than undersize. 2. plan for how to remove condensate. 3.consider the pressure drop of the coil with the system. 4. carefully plan the accessories - temp regulator, pressure indicating, coil supports, steam traps, vents, safety valves, etc. Good luck! __________________ Eventually, one needs to realize that it is far less important to be the smartest person in the room than it is to sit next to that person and make friends.

	Babcock & Wilcox 40th Edition of Steam. Good resources, or perhaps Power Engineering sites. __________________ I love this site.Thanks to everyone that makes it possible.
