Principle and characteristics of T-fin tube

Principle and characteristics of T-fin tube
1, the principle of T finned tube
T-finned tube is formed after the rolling process is one kind of efficient heat transfer tubes by the light pipe. Its structural feature is to form a series of spiral annular T-shaped tunnels on the outer surface of the pipe. When heat medium outside the tube is formed in a tunnel in a series of bubble nuclei, four weeks in a heated state to a mountain tunnel chamber, the rapid expansion of the bubble nucleus lumen is filled, continuously heated rapidly increases the inner pressure of the bubble, a fine bubble from the tube surface to promote Squirting quickly in the seam. When injecting of bubbles with a large force erosion site, and a certain partial vacuum, so that the surrounding temperature of the liquid pouring into the lower T-shaped tunnel, the formation of continuous boiling. In this boiling mode, the unit surface area r} takes away much more heat per unit time than the light pipe, and this type of pipe has a higher boiling heat transfer capacity.
2, the characteristics of T finned tube
Heat transfer effect. In R113T boiling tube heat transfer coefficient of the light pipe than 1.6 times a 3.3 times higher. Conventional optical tube heat exchanger, or only when the bubble point of the high boiling temperature of the hot medium of ten 12 ℃ a cold medium 15 ℃, blowing cold medium will boil. The T-type finned tube heat exchanger requires only a temperature difference of 2 ° C to 4 ° C, the cold medium can boil, and the bubble is fine, continuous and fast, forming a unique advantage compared with the light pipe.
The single tube experiment with Freon 11 as the medium shows that the heat transfer coefficient of the T-tube is up to 10 times that of the light pipe, and the experiment results of the small tube bundle with liquid ammonia as the medium, the total heat transfer coefficient is 2.2 times that of the light pipe; The industrial reboiler calibration of C3 and C4 hydrocarbon separation towers shows that at low load, the total heat transfer coefficient of the T-tube is 50% higher than that of the smooth tube and 99% higher at high load.
3.T finned tubes are less expensive than aluminum porous surface heat transfer tubes.
Because the gas-liquid disturbance inside the tunnel is very intense and the gas is ejected at high speed along the T-slot, it is not easy to scale even in the T-slot or the outer surface of the pipe. This ensures that the equipment can be used for a long time without heat transfer effect. The effect of scaling.

ASTM A213 T22 extruded finned tube?

  What is ASTM A213 T22 extruded finned tube? ASTM A213 T22 extruded finned tube is a heat exchanger tube with extruded aluminum fins on the outside surface, made from T22 grade steel, which is an alloy steel per ASTM A213 standard. The fins are extruded from the base tube, which increases the surface area and enhances heat transfer efficiency. These finned tubes are typically used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, such as boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers in power plants or industrial settings. The T22 grade steel has good high-temperature strength and resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Why use ASTM A213 T22 extruded finned tube? ASTM A213 T22  extruded finned tubes  are used in applications where high-temperature and high-pressure resistance is required, such as in boilers and heat exchangers. The use of an extruded finned tube made of this material can improve the heat transfer rate by increasing the surface area of the tube, which enhanc...

What are the components of finned tube bundle?

The heat exchange unit composed of multiple finned tubes arranged according to certain rules is called finned tube bundle. A finned tube heat exchanger can be composed of one or more finned tube bundles. Understanding the finned tube bundles is helpful to the application of finned tube heat exchangers.   What are the components of finned tube bundle?   1. Multiple finned tubes: basic elements of heat transfer;   2. Tube box header or tube plate: connect the box, elbow or steel plate at both ends of the finned tube. When the finned tube is connected with the box or tube plate, the spacing between the finned tubes is fixed, and the tube box makes the fluid in the tube form a continuous flow channel;   3. Frame: support and fix the whole finned tube bundle.   The finned tube bundle is the main part of the air cooler, which is composed of finned tubes, tube boxes and frames. It is an independent structural whole. Its basic parameters include the tube bundle type (us...

What are carbon steel finned pipes?

What are carbon steel finned pipes? Carbon steel finned pipes are pipes that have fins attached to them, typically for the purpose of increasing the surface area of the pipe. The fins can be either integral or attached separately, and they are typically made from a different material than the pipe itself, such as aluminum or copper. The use of  carbon steel finned pipes  are common in applications where heat transfer is important, such as in heat exchangers, boilers, and air conditioning systems. By increasing the surface area of the pipe, the fins allow for more efficient transfer of heat between the fluid flowing through the pipe and the surrounding air or other fluid. Carbon steel is a popular material for finned pipes due to its high strength and durability, as well as its relatively low cost compared to other materials. However, carbon steel is also susceptible to corrosion, so it may not be the best choice for certain applications where corrosion resistance is critical. ...
