Aluminum Finned Tubes

L-Foot Tension Wound Finned Tubes

Aluminum L-Foot Tension Wound Finned Tubes are an economical solution for applications requiring greater resistance to vibration and heat cycling typical of air cooled heat exchangers. The L-Foot design mechanically locks the fins and provides broader contact surface between tube and fin.
 
Below you will see common L-Foot Tension Wound Finned Tube configurations:
Tube Sizes: 1/2″ O.D. to 2″ O.D.
Fin Heights: 1/4″ to 5/8″
Fin Pitch: 4 to 13 fins per inch
Temperature: Up to 300°F
 
Edge Tension Wound Finned Tubes offer a low cost solution for low to moderate temperature applications. The surface of the tube is knurled as the fin is wound tightly on edge around the O.D. of a tube to ensure proper fin to tube contact.
 
Edge Tension Wound Finned Tubes are commonly used in applications with small amounts of vibration and metal temperatures up to 250° Fahrenheit.
Tube Sizes: 1/2″ O.D. to 2″ O.D.
Fin Heights: 1/4″ to 1″
Fin Pitch: 4 to 13 fins per inch
 
Embedded Fin Tubes offer solutions where higher temperatures, continuous thermal cycling and tube vibration due to high velocity air streams can cause failures. The fin is mechanically embedded into a groove that is plowed in the tube O.D. and is locked into place by rolls that force the groove to tightly close around the fin base.
 
Tube Sizes: 9/16″ O.D. to 2″ O.D.
Fin Heights: 1/4″ to 5/8″
Fin Pitch: 5 to 13 fins per inch
 
Aluminum Finned Tubes

Extruded Finned Tubes
Extruded Finned Tubes provide the greatest resistance to atmospheric corrosion. The aluminum fin material completely encloses the tube, except at the ends where a tube coating can be applied. Where atmospheric corrosion is present and when operated within design temperature limits, extruded finned tubes provide the most stable performance over time as compared to the other fin types. The fin is rolled from an outer aluminum tube by a process using pressure to create a rolled “pressure bond” between the liner tube and fins.
 
Extruded Finned Tubes are commonly used in applications with temperatures up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tube Sizes: 1″ O.D. to 1 1/4″ O.D.
Fin Heights: 1/2″ to 5/8″
Fin Pitch: 8 to 11 fins per inch
 
Perforated Finned Tubes maximize heat transfer by increasing the air flow across the finned area of the tube. Uniform perforations are created in the fin as it passes through the machine. These perforations are arranged like spokes of a wheel and can manufactured in Embedded and L-Foot fin configurations. Perforated Fins can manufactured aluminum or copper fin.
 
Tube Sizes: 9/16″ O.D. to 2″ O.D.
Fin Heights: 1/4″ to 1″
Fin Pitch: 4 to 13 fins per inch

What is membrane water wall panel?

What is membrane water wall panel? The Membrane water wall pane l is the main heating part of the boiler, which is composed of several rows of steel tubes, distributed around the boiler furnace. Its interior is flowing water or steam, and the outside receives the heat from the flame in the boiler furnace. It mainly absorbs the radiant heat of high-temperature combustion products in the furnace, in which the working medium rises and evaporates. Membrane water wall panel refers to the water wall composed of a gas tight pipe panel welded by flat steel and tubes. The membrane water wall can ensure the furnace has good tightness and can significantly reduce the air leakage coefficient of the furnace and improve the combustion conditions in the furnace for negative pressure boilers. The utility model can increase the effective radiation heating area, thereby saving the steel consumption. Advantages of Membrane water wall panel (1) The membrane water wall has the most complete protective effe...

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 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...
