downward will intersect the calculated water velocity curve. From this
intersection, a horizontal projection will determine the
k
factor.
For example, if one assumes a coil face velocity in the common range
of 450 to 550 ft / min, a sensible heat factor of 0.9 to 0.95 and a typical
water tube velocity of 3 to 7 ft / s, the
k
factor will fall in the range of
175 to 225 Btu / h / ft

an HVAC designer can make a preliminary estimate of coil size or can
second-guess a computer selection for reasonableness.
