Extruded Serrated Finned Tubes is similar with extruded aluminum fin tube, but the aluminum fin is serrated, which great improve the fin tube heat transfer capacity. The extruded finned tubes are produced by compressing an aluminum tube. Aluminum fin is formed from bi-metallic tubes, a base tube and an aluminum muff tube. The fins are formed on a cold rolling process from the wall thickness of the aluminum muff tube. Extruded fin gives very good corrosion protection to the base tube, as the base tube is not visible to the atmosphere in between the fins.

Maximum operating temperature for extruded finned tube is 300 °C.

As a result, the tubes base is completely connected to the main tube. Since these fins never break, deform or loosen, their heating efficiency does not change over time.

Advantages of Extruded Serrated Finned Tubes:

Corrosion resistance in air is very high;

Easy cleaning;

Excellent efficiency;

More reliable capacity for thermal transfer.

The extruded finned tubes are produced by compressing an aluminum tube, or sleeve, onto the base tube. The bloom is exposed to very high pressures which essentially “grows” the fins into the final fin profiles. This process manufactures an excellent strong joint with great resistance (fin stiffness) as well as exceptional heat transfer capabilities (longevity, temperature range). The advantage of extruded fin tubes are full protection of bare tube against corrosion and fin has high mechanical strength. 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. The aluminum fin material completely encloses the tube, except at the ends where a tube coating can be applied.

Extruded Serrated Finned Tubes Application:

Primarily extruded finned tubes are used in high temperature conditions and corrosive atmospheric conditions, such as operating temperatures less than 300°C or off-shore applications, air to air heat exchangers for HVAC applications, air dehumidification in air treatment plants, energy recovery in air exhaust system. This kind of fin design is the least economical as compared to the other fin types; main reason due to the increased amount of aluminum used around 40% also increased labors during the manufacturing. However this increased cost can be compensated if using lower grade parent tube material.

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

1. What is a finned tube bundle? Finned tube bundle 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. 2. What is the composition of the finned tube bundle? Finned tube (multiple tubes): basic element of heat transfer. Tube box (header) or tube plate: the header, elbow or steel plate connecting the two ends of the fin tube. When the finned tube is connected with the header or tube sheet, the spacing between the finned tubes is fixed, and the tube box forms a continuous flow channel for the fluid in the tube. Frame: support and fix the whole finned tube bundle. 3. Finned tube bundle arrangement? In a  finned tubes bundle , the selection of fin tube arrangement is crucial. There are two types of arrangement: staggered and sequential. The so-called staggered arrangement refers to the cross arrangement of pipes in the air flow direction, while the in-line arran

What is heat exchange tube sheet?

What is heat exchange tube sheet? A heat exchange tube sheet is a component used in heat exchangers, which are devices that transfer heat from one fluid to another. The tube sheet is typically a flat, circular plate that separates the two fluid streams and contains holes through which the heat exchange tubes pass. The tubes are typically sealed into the tube sheet by welding or expansion, and the sheet is often made of materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or titanium. The purpose of the tube sheet is to provide a rigid support structure for the heat exchange tubes and to ensure that the tubes are properly aligned and spaced for efficient heat transfer. The tube sheet also serves to contain the fluid streams and prevent them from mixing, which could reduce the efficiency of the heat exchange process. Tube sheets can be designed for various types of heat exchangers, such as shell and tube, double pipe, and plate heat exchangers. The design of the tube sheet is typically based
