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.
An evaporator is any heat transfer surface in which a volatile liquid is vaporised for the purpose of removing heat from a refrigerated space or product. Heat is absorbed from the surrounding area that needs to be cooled by maintaining the evaporator coil at a lower temperature and pressure than the immediate air.
As the warm air from the space passes over the evaporator coil, it gives up its heat to the lower temperature liquid/vapour mixture passing through the evaporator. As the liquid refrigerant absorbs this heat it boils changing from the liquid state to the vapour state.
Because of the many and diverse applications of mechanical refrigeration, evaporators are manufactured in a wide variety of types, shapes, sizes and designs. They may also be classified in a number of different ways such as type of construction, methods of air (or liquid) circulation, type of refrigerant control and application.
Our evaporator coils can be produced using plain aluminium, vinyl coated, plain copper or hydrophilic coated fin which assists with moisture run-off and has the potential to reduce the length of defrost stages and/or the time in between each defrost.
As with any coil, it is of utmost importance to carry out routine check-ups, maintenance and (if needed) replace your older evaporator coils to ensure the best performance from your system. Knowing the state of your evaporator coils will enable you to be pro-active with their maintenance and upkeep.
"Beehive can design and manufacture many different types of evaporator coil to meet the vast and varied selection of our customers' requirements, whatever they may be."
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.

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.
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.
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.
