En langage courant, le mot «serpentin» se traduit en anglais par «serpentine», mais dans l'industrie frigorifique on désigne souvent par ce terme tout échangeur thermique constitué par un faisceau de tubes [...] quoique cette généralisation puisse prêter à une certaine confusion. En effet, le mot «serpentin» (en anglais «Coil» = bobine) évoque un tube, une bande, voire un ruban, enroulés en spirale, et peut très bien convenir, par exemple, à un évaporateur immergé à serpentin et, par extension, à tout échangeur thermique constitué par un serpentin [...]; mais on aurait tort de traduire [...] «Evaporator coil» par «serpentin évaporateur» dans le cas d'un évaporateur multitubulaire ou de tout autre échangeur à collecteurs et à tubes droits [...] 3, record 1, French, - serpentin
