Laser welded carbon steel finned tube

 What is laser welded carbon steel finned tube?

Laser welded carbon steel finned tube adopts the laser welding process, which can weld the carbon steel tubes and carbon steel fins with thinner wall thickness and denser fin pitch. The thinner bare tubes and denser fins can improve the heat transfer efficiency.

Why use laser welded carbon steel finned tube?

At beginning, laser welded finning machine mainly welded stainless steel tube with stainless steel fins. During the process technolgy developing, carbon steel tube with carbon steel fin become encomical, such as lower weight and higher heat transfer capacity. In some occasions, Laser welded carbon steel finned tube can replace the high frequency welded solid finned tubes.

Laser automatic welding spiral fin welding machine uses high energy density laser to weld finned tubes. The laser heat input is less, the effect is accurate, and the fin after welding has little effect on the laser heat. The whole equipment is fully automatic finned tube welding, with fins wound on one side and laser welded fins on the other side. During the entire production process, the operator only needs to load the material at the beginning of welding and unload it after the welding is completed. In normal operation, the steel strip is automatically wound on the steel pipe, and the automatic sheet winding, laser automatic welding, and high degree of automation are achieved.

Laser welded carbon steel finned tubeSpiral finned tubes have always been produced by high frequency welding, brazing or inlaying. This traditional production process makes the heat transfer and cooling efficiency of the finned tube not very high, and there will be weak welding and de-soldering. More importantly, after high-frequency welding, the temperature is too high and the thermal effect is too large, which easily causes the finned tube to rust, which limits the use environment of the finned tube. In a corrosive environment, the finned tube will be corroded after a short period of use. Even if the stainless steel finned tube is welded by high frequency, it cannot meet the requirements, mainly because the fins absorb too much heat and the temperature is too high, which affects the atomic arrangement of the stainless steel. Temper stainless steel, easy to rust and reduce corrosion resistance. Laser welding does not need to consider such issues at all. Laser welding is done in an instant, and the welded fins have no effect on heat recovery. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel does not decrease, so in strong acid and alkali environments, laser welding finned tubes should be competent.

Advantages of laser welded carbon steel helical fin tubes:

1. Laser welded carbon steel finned tube adopts continuous laser welding machine to complete the welding of finned tube automatic winding device. The fins are welded very firmly. Fins and tubes are welded without missing welding.

2. Laser welding of carbon steel finned tubes is to dissolve the base metal of fins and tubes to realize welding. The strength of the finned tube can reach more than 600MPa.

3. Laser welding carbon steel finned tube using automatic finned tube laser welding machine adopts servo closed-loop system, with high transmission precision and precise welding.

4. The fin spacing of the laser welded carbon steel finned tube can be ≤2.5mm, the heat dissipation area is increased by nearly 50% compared with the high frequency welded tube (the fin spacing ≥4.5mm), and the consumables per unit area are less, which can greatly reduce the replacement Heater volume.

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

What is the difference between pipe bends and elbows?

Bends and elbows are fittings used to change the direction of a pipe. These two kinds of pipe fittings have a wide range of applications in construction, but in actual use, the performance of pipe bends and elbows is different, and elbows are used much more than pipe bends. What is the difference between pipe bends and elbows? An elbow is a pipe part with a bend, which is a commonly used pipe part. Bends are usually manufactured to specific needs. Compared with the elbow, the elbow is much longer and is a curved pipe, while the elbow is only a part that changes the direction of the pipe. Although both are components that change the direction of the pipeline, there are many differences between these two components. 1. Different manufacturing processes for  pipe bends and elbows In the manufacturing process cold and hot bent pipes can be made of pipe bends, which directly bent by the pipe bending machine, and the  bent pipe  can be manufactured at one time without secondary anti-corrosio
