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.

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. ...
