Application conditions and heat conduction process of laser welding fin tube

In order to understand the application conditions of finned tube, it is necessary to understand the heat transfer process and definition during the operation of laser welded finned tube. The heat transfer of the whole equipment refers to the process of heat transfer from hot fluid to cold fluid through solid wall, and also includes the heat transfer process of tube wall. The strength of the heat transfer process and the size of the heat transfer mainly depend on the characteristics of the convective heat transfer on both sides of the wall.

The larger the temperature difference required for the unit heat transfer of the laser welded finned tube, the greater its thermal resistance will become, which is equal to the reciprocal of the heat transfer coefficient, indicating that the greater the heat transfer coefficient, the smaller its thermal resistance. On the contrary, the smaller the heat transfer coefficient, the greater its thermal resistance. The heat transfer coefficient of the air side is smaller than that of the water side, so the heat resistance of the air side is larger than that of the water side, which becomes the main heat resistance affecting the heat transfer, making the air side become the bottleneck of the heat transfer process, without heat transfer.

In order to reduce the thermal resistance of the air side and overcome the bottleneck effect of the air side, various measures may be taken in the design of the heat exchanger to add fins on the outer surface of the air side, that is, to use the fin tube. The finned tube expands the original heat exchange area of the air side and makes up for the low heat exchange coefficient of the air side.

The application field of laser welded finned tube is expanding constantly, and its product types and specifications are increasing day by day. In order to facilitate the design and production of finned tube heat exchanger during operation, the finned tube needs to be classified during operation. The finned tube can be roughly divided into four types from the combination of use and structure: finned tube for air heat exchange and flue gas heat exchange Finned tube for heat exchange, finned tube for heat exchange with medium and cooling medium and finned tube for heat dissipation of electrical components.

The laser welded finned tube can be divided into bimetal composite rolled finned tube, integral rolled aluminum finned tube, stainless steel laser welded finned tube, spiral wound finned tube, L-shaped finned tube and plate finned tube according to its manufacturing process.

What is tube sheet layout?

What is tube sheet layout? A tube sheet is a component used in shell and tube heat exchangers and other types of heat transfer equipment. It is a flat plate with holes drilled in it, through which tubes are inserted and secured. The tube sheet serves as a barrier between the two fluids, allowing heat to be transferred from one to the other. The layout of the tube sheet depends on the design of the heat exchanger, which includes the number of tubes, the size of the tubes, and the spacing between the tubes. The layout is typically determined using computer-aided design (CAD) software, which can optimize the placement of the tubes to achieve the desired heat transfer performance. In general, the tubes are arranged in a triangular or square pattern on the tube sheet. The triangular pattern is often preferred because it provides better support for the tubes and reduces the risk of vibration and damage. The spacing between the tubes is also important, as it affects the flow rate and pressure...

What is aluminum finned tubes?

What is aluminum finned tubes? Aluminum finned tubes are a type of finned tube air heat exchanger that uses aluminum fins attached to a tube made of a different material, such as copper or steel. The aluminum fins are typically extruded or formed to increase the surface area of the tube, which in turn increases the efficiency of heat transfer. Aluminum finned tubes are commonly used in HVAC systems, as well as in industrial and power plant applications. They are preferred over other types of finned tubes in some applications because they are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have good thermal conductivity. Additionally, aluminum is relatively inexpensive compared to other metals commonly used in heat exchangers, such as copper and stainless steel. The specific properties of aluminum finned tubes can vary depending on the alloy used to make the fins. For example, aluminum fins made from alloys such as 6061 and 3003 have good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, while those...

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...
