The Beehive coaxial condenser (tube-in-tube) range offers a highly efficient and economic method of transferring heat from one medium to another.
We use a special integrally finned tube (INTEGRON) inside our high quality outer copper tubing for optimum performance.
Our coaxial condensers work by directing the flow of the superheated refrigerant gas into the annular space between the inner and outer tubes at the top of the condenser. The gas then cools down, condenses on the external finned surface of the inner tube before the condensate flows down to the free space at the end of the system.
The cooling medium (usually water) enters at the lower end of the condenser and passes, counter-flow to the refrigerant, through the inner tube(s) before leaving at the upper end. By this means, high water outlet temperatures and sub-cooling of the condensate can be achieved.
Coaxial condensers are mainly used in heat pump, swimming pool and marine applications and we can supply bare tube or with additional insulation.

Water coils are the most straight forward heat exchanger we manufacture but also have the widest variety of uses as chilled water, low pressure hot water (LPHW) units, fan coils, heaters, chilled beams (with or without heating circuits), glycol coils and many more different applications.
Whether the brief is for comfort cooling, specialist multi-stage DX systems or industrial/commercial projects - we can help by selecting units to meet a wide range of temperatures from HVAC to low temperature freezing applications.
Condensing is the act, or practice, of condensation in any form. Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of evaporating.
A chilled beam is a type of convection HVAC system designed to heat or cool large buildings or office spaces. Beehive design and produce two types of chilled beam coils - passive or active.
We have extensive experience in manufacturing CO2 Evaporator coils of all types and have been doing so for many years. We can assist with design of your coil to ensure it meets the latest BS EN 378 requirements whether you have a sub or trans-critical CO2 system.
The Beehive ALPHA range is our most popular enclosure, which gives an excellent product with great value for money. This range has a wide variety of options on fin material, fan types and ecconomy model versions giving you the best choice at great value.
Steam coils are used in both industrial and HVAC applications and are used to heat air when steam is available. Finned tubes are almost always used in steam coil applications and this type of coil makes use of the latent heat that is released by the steam when it condenses so it is a very effective way of heating air.
The Beehive BETA and DELTA ranges are based on a slimline footprint but still with a condenser coil and plant section area. Removeable panels ensure simple & immediate access to the internal sections.
The Beehive Gamma units are the latest addition to our CEU ranges. They are optimum performance, super-efficiant enclosures designed to meet the highest of standards.
As well as the standard enclosure ranges and coils we manufacture, we understand that you still may need something different which is why we now offer a bespoke design service tailored to meet your requirements.
All of our units are manufactured to the current PED standards and supplied with a comprehensive warranty and we are also proud to hold the latest ISO 9001:2015 accreditation - enhancing both the quality of our service as well as our products.
