Note on timing:
Basically "spiral" and "coil" are interchangeable. As my post was accepted, I saw that Jennifer had already posted her entry 2 mins. earlier, otherwise I would not have suggested an alternative with such a minor alteration. "coil" also sounds quite ok to me.

neutral  Johannes Gleim: found bare-tube heat exchanger = Glattrohrwärmeübertrager in Ernst, but no reference to "spiral"
