Inflation layer

Hi, I want to simulate a turbulent air flow through a heating coil. Heres the system:

a heat flux density is impressed on the heating coil, therefore I want to use inflation layers on the coil. First of all I used sizing on all faces of the system and a very fine mesh on the coil itself. Now when I try to use inflation layer I use as geometry the coil and for the edge the faces of the coil, my element quality is horrible.

Sorry my program is in german.

Is it correct that I use as geometry the solid coil and for the edges the faces of the solid coil or what is the issue? Thanks
