The heat transfer from steam coils with medium pressure, or hot water coils or pipes, submerged in oil or fat can be estimated with the values from the table below.
| Type of Coil | Heat Transfer Coefficient - natural convection | |
| (W/m2 oC) | (Btu/hr ft2 oF) | |
| Steam to Light Oil | 170 | 30 |
| Steam to Heavy Oil | 85 - 115 | 15 - 20 |
| Steam to Fat | 30 - 60 | 5 - 10 |
| Hot Water to Oil | 60 | 10 |
