Notice
The characteristic curves were determined for coils
with valve for medium test block size (80 x 80 x 80 mm),
w/o flow in still air.
Depending on installation conditions (block size,
flow, air circulation, etc.), heat dissipation may be
better. This increases the range of applications.
In specific instances, unfavorable conditions may limit
the range of applications.
