How to calculate the heat transfer area of the finned tube？

The heat exchange area of the finned tube includes the effective surface area of the base tube and the entire outer surface area of the exposed portion of the fins.

Calculation method of heat exchange area of finned tubes (taking steel aluminum finned tubes as an example)

For example: a finned tube is 1860mm long, and both ends are 30mm empty without fins. The diameter of the finned tube is 25mm, the bottom diameter thickness is 0.5mm, the tube thickness is 2mm, and the fin spacing is 2. 8mm, sheet thickness 0.35mm, fin outer diameter 57, effective sheet height 15.5mm, what is the heat exchange area of a finned tube?

Answer: The calculation of the heat exchange area is generally based on the cumulative addition of all the parts exposed to the air, which can be divided into three parts.

1, the surface area of the base pipe part (the thickness of the sheet needs to be deducted)

2, the top of the fin (the surface area after the effective number of fins is accumulated)

3. The surface area of the front and back sides of the fin. The sum of these three numbers is the heat exchange area of the finned tube.

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...
