We get this question a lot. Circuits are
related to the number of tubes in a coil chilled water coils (2)
being fed from the header. For example, coil circuiting (1)
if the header is connected to 12 tubes,
condenser coil (6)
that coil has 12 circuits. Coils with 24
circuits have 24 tubes connected to the Copper (1)
supply manifold, and the hot or chilled evaporator coil (3)
