Put Hot Water Through a Steam Coil?

I have a distributed steam coil (otherwise called non-freeze) in a multizone air handling unit. Its the single header, tube-in-tube design. I need to provide temporary emergency heat to the building and will have hot water, but not steam available.
Anyone ever try to pump hot water through a distributed steam coil? I only need a fraction of its steam capacity to temper the building.

hot water
If you cut one of those coils up you would see that the steam distributing tube is probably only 1/4" or 3/8" od copper. I doubt you could get enough flow through it to do any heating..0
