RE: PIPE COILS
If you were working with a tube bundle - such as a heat exchanger, then you would have short radius elbows to provide added friction.
If in doubt - do a test with a garden tap and hose pipe. You can coil that to a similar condition and you will quickly find if your pressure losses are more than calculated in straight pipe.
